Question 28: Proposed Ordinance (By Petition)

This Citizen's initiative seeks to repeal and replace the pay raises and automatic salary increases for elected City officials enacted in Ordinance 13287/2023. If passed, this initiative shall immediately rescind and replace the pay raises for City Council in Warren, Ohio, which shall be set to $16,500 per year, starting January 1, 2026, and eliminate all future automatic increases for elected officials.

Any future changes to Ordinance 13287/2023, including, but not limited to, the salaries of elected officials, must be approved by a vote of the citizens, either by citizen initiative or a ballot measure placed by City Council and decided by popular vote.
Shall the proposed Ordinance be adopted?
