Salary Freeze

A measure to raise the salary of Beachwood Mayor Merle Gorden has been a hot topic of discussion on Beachwood Patch and other places for the past several weeks, and now, the measure is off the table. 

Beachwood City Council announced the decision to vote down the measure that would raise the full-time mayoral salary, which stands now at around $175,000, The Sun News reports.

Gorden said that he suggested that the council agree to freeze the mayor salary, and council said that they will vote against the raise at their July 1 meeting.
