Clearwater City Council held a work session Monday to review the City Attorney's performance and compensation. The evaluation compared the attorney's salary to those of legal counsel in 12 other Florida municipalities and counties, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, and Orange County.
The City Attorney has served nearly three years. Council examined salary data, tenure information, and benefit packages for comparable positions. Cape Coral's City Attorney, with 15 years and 7 months of tenure, earns $320,610 annually. St. Petersburg's City Attorney is projected to receive $297,106 in the coming fiscal year after a 2.5% merit increase and cost-of-living adjustment.
The annual review helps Council ensure competitive compensation to retain legal talent.
