After a lot of discussions, the Fishers City Council voted to give itself a three percent pay raise in 2018 in an 8–1 vote, with Councilwoman Selina Stoller the lone dissenting vote. Fishers City Judge Daniel Henke will also see a three percent increase in his pay next year.
Most city employees will see a five percent raise, including two elected officials – Mayor Scott Fadness and City Clerk Jennifer Kehl. Council members also gave final approval to the entire 2018 spending plan for the city, totaling more than $103 million.
