Did the Mayor give himself a $20,000 raise?

Claim rating: Pants on fire

Salaries were set in Ordinance 2017-16. Ordinances are voted on by the Council. The ordinance, as pictured below, clearly shows the mayor's salary at $65,000 without range. This second reading was passed in July and adopted into law. At no point was there ever a vote that included a $20,000 raise for the mayor.
