It happens that salaries may have increased this year on average by 2.7% (year being October - September). Other factors at play obviously, lost of jobs, job security, etc. but there's not really much of a time that their salary could be crazy out of line simply because it's based on every other person salaries.

I just meant in the hypothetical situation where there was cause for a small salary increase each year, it would look worse no matter what, than having just having taken those salary adjustments each year, instead of bumping it up after the course of a few years. People like to fret over percentages. Nobody will remember the years you didn’t accept a salary increase, but if you should decide to catch up and it’s suddenly a 8% increase or something, people will freak out. That is unless the councillors freeze their salaries for their entire terms.
