The next person to head up village government in Plainfield will see a small bump in salary. On Sept. 19, members of the Plainfield Board of Trustees approved a motion to increase the compensation of the village president by $4,000, to $24,000 per year, effective after the April 2017 election. MIKE COLLINS “This has to be Current Mayor of done every four Plainfield years or it doesn’t take effect,” Trustee Bill Lamb said. “The last time it was increased was four years ago, so we’re talking about a 2.5 percent per year increase, which is roughly what the staff has been getting in recent years. So it’s not like it’s a 20 percent jump or a 10 percent jump.” Lamb added that, as the face of Plainfield, the mayor deserves adequate compensation. See MayOr page 3
