The salaries for the city's two other top officials - Finance Director Joel Schlanger and City Attorney Wilburn Dibling - will be $80,000 each if council approves a 6.7 percent raise for them.
Herbert's current salary is $83,500. Schlanger and Dibling make $75,000 each.
Council also will consider raises for three other top city officials on Monday when it votes on a $152 million budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
The current and proposed salaries for these officials are: Municipal Auditor William Brogan, $51,415 to $55,000; Von Moody, director of real estate valuation, $49,600 to $53,000; and City Clerk Mary Parker, $45,850 to $49,000.
Council tentatively agreed on the raises for the top six during a closed session earlier this week after job reviews for them, but the raises won't become effective until it publicly votes on them.
The agenda for Monday's meeting includes an ordinance detailing the pay raises for the six officials.
Herbert and the five other officials did not get a pay raise in the current fiscal year because council increased their pension benefits in lieu of higher salaries. Council members said the higher pension benefits were designed to persuade the officials to remain with the city.
The city's $152 million budget for the new fiscal year provides an average pay raise of 6.6 percent for the city's other 1,900 workers.
Also Monday, council members will consider a proposed $1,000 pay raise for themselves, although the salaries for the mayor and vice mayor would remain the same.
