The city duma and the government explained why the Chelyabinsk mayor's salary would be increased (but it didn't become much more clear) Public hearings on amendments to the charter will be held in Chelyabinsk on December 3. One of them stipulates a quarterly payment supplement to the mayor for fulfilling a public position. The government clarified: the measure applies to all the mayors of the cities and districts in the region. Additional payment for all mayors. Federal Law No. 33-FZ anchored the principle of unity of public authority. Now mayors simultaneously hold state and municipal positions. This involves additional requirements and responsibilities, and therefore financial incentives, the City Duma and the government explained. "The additional payment is given not for a specific result, but for the head's role in a unified system of public power," the government clarified. That is, no KPI indicators are required from the mayor. However, the payment is not automatic: it depends on the socio-economic situation in the country and the region. some. The amount of the supplement is determined by the governor. The City Duma did not directly answer how much they would pay the mayor in addition on a quarterly basis, they only returned - no more than the monthly allowance. They also did not put the salary, so we found it ourselves - 144.2 thousand rubles. How much does the head of Chelyabinsk usually earn? We calculated it here. The budget for 2026 did not yet include money for payments. So far, neither the mayor of Chelyabinsk nor other mayors have accepted them. The funds will probably be provided next year.
