§ 129.110. Right of Councilmen to refuse compensation.
Latest version.
A member of the Council, including the Council President, may elect to refuse any
part or all of the compensation to which he would otherwise be entitled under Section 129.101(a). This refusal shall be evidenced by a written instrument, signed by the Councilman,
in which he refuses the stated portion of the compensation. Upon delivery to the Council
Secretary, the signed refusal shall become irrevocable during the remainder of the
term of the Councilman; provided, that if the refusal is filed by the Council President,
it shall be irrevocable only for the remainder of his term as President and then be
of no effect. When a refusal is filed by a Councilman, including the Council President,
he shall not thereafter, so long as the refusal is effective, be entitled to or receive
that portion of the compensation to which he would otherwise be entitled which he
has refused.
