The current aldermanic salary is $98,125, though not all council members accept that much. Ald. Eugene Schulter (47th), for example, has chosen to forgo some past pay increases, and collects $82,000 a year. Ald. Ricardo Munoz (22nd) accepts the full amount but donates about $7,000 of his salary annually to local charities.
I might suggest that increasing salaries by 20% in a period where anger at incumbents is high and there are multiple corruptions scandals going on is a bad idea.
