The Alamosa City Council on Wednesday decided to put three questions to the voters this November: 1) approval of a tax increase for an aquatic center; 2) charter change to allow non-city residents to serve on city boards/committees; and 3) approval of an increase for city council and mayor compensation. The compensation question will be decided at the next council meeting, but the council by majority vote directed staff to compose a ballot question that would increase council compensation to $1,000 a month and mayoral compensation to $1,500 a month.
