From 2028 through 2030, the monthly stipend will be adjusted by applying 75% of the previous year's increase in civil servants' salaries to the amount for the preceding year.

Accordingly, in 2027, compensation for each Gwangyang City Council member will be 3,932,810 won per month and 47,193,720 won per year.

Compensation consists of an activity allowance and a monthly stipend. The monthly stipend is determined based on factors including the population, fiscal conditions, and council members' performance.

The decision will be conveyed to Gwangyang City and its city council, and is scheduled to take effect after the relevant ordinance is revised.

Yoon Taehyun, chair of the Council Members' Compensation Review Committee, said, "We made every effort to reach the best outcome by thoroughly reviewing and discussing the legal standards and Gwangyang City's fiscal conditions."
