A committee of the Honolulu Salary Commission is proposing 6 percent pay raises for the mayor and members of the City Council.

Police and fire chiefs would get 8 percent raises, while the city prosecutor would get a 9 percent raise. City officials got raises nine months ago, ranging from 4.5 percent to 10 percent.

Councilman Charles Djou said he and other members of the council shouldn't get raises this year, and neither should the mayor.

His position is opposed by Council Chairwoman Barbara Marshall.

The mayor is the city's highest-paid official, earning $128,100 per year. The police and fire chiefs are paid $126,140.

The city managing director is paid $120,698. Police and fire deputy chiefs earn $120,310, while the prosecuting attorney makes $118,635. The City Council chairwoman is paid $55,020 and other council members get $49,245.

The Salary Commission committee also made pay-raise recommendations for other city officials.

The commission will decide on raises after holding a public hearing April 21.

Any pay raises approved by the commission would go into effect automatically unless the City Council votes to reject them within 60 days. Raises would take effect July 1.
