Full-time councilmembers

Summary

Saint Paul is exploring whether its councilmembers should become full-time, paid accordingly, with charter and administrative code changes to match. Minneapolis did a similar study through Guidehouse, and the committee looked at how that played out. Any change would affect how — and how much — your council representatives work.
