The Town Council, by ordinance adopting the annual operating budget or by special ordinance, shall determine the annual salaries of the Mayor and Council members, but no salary change shall become effective until the date of commencement of the terms of Council members elected at the next general election following ratification of the ordinance setting forth the change. The Mayor and Council members also may receive payment for actual expenses incurred in the performance of their duties and approved by Council, (see amendment of Ord. passed 5-18-1993 on file giving Council members the option to be compensated an amount of $25 per year to render them eligible for SC Retirement System membership).
