The members of Council shall receive such compensation, and the Mayor such additional compensation as the Council by ordinance shall prescribe; provided, however, that they shall neither increase nor decrease the compensation of any member during his or her term of office, except any member of the Council whose terms do not expire at the next regular Town election, shall receive the same compensation as that provided for incoming members for the remainder of their term of office. The Mayor and Council may, upon order of Council, be paid such necessary bona fide expenses incurred in service on behalf of the Town as are authorized. (Amended by Charter election held on 11-07-23)
