Amending Section 1-5-9 of the Code of the
City of Evanston, 1979

Aldermanic compensation has determined that
-Compensation to members of Evanston's City Council is in the nature
of an honorarium and should not be viewed as a salary for a part-
time job.

Y budget.
-The level of compensation should be such that expenses incurred
by serving as an Alderman are covered by the compensation so that
no one is deterred from running for office.
