AGENDA REPORT
DATE:
October 22, 2007
TO:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
THRU:
David N. Carmany, City Manager
FROM:
June Yotsuya, Assistant City Manager
.
SUBJECT: 'City Council Compensation
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Introduce Ordinance Number 1561, An Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach amending City
of Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 3.05.010 to increase City Council compensation to $600
per month, and direct staff to schedule for second reading and adoption at next regular City
Council meeting.
e DISCUSSION:
At its meeting of September 24, 2007, the City Council voted to increase City Council
compensation to $600 per month. City's Municipal Code Section 3.05.010 states that the current
salary is $300 per month and that ''the city council may increase its salary in accordance with the
provisions of Government Code Section 36416 et seq."
California Government Code Section 36516(c) defines the ability to increase City Council
compensation by five percent (5%) for each calendar year from the operative date of the last
salary adjustment and that such increases may only occur when one of the council members
commences a new term. By calculating a 5% increase from the base amount of $300 over a
period of 18 years (1990 thru 2008), the maximum monthly compensation the City Council will
be eligible for in 2008 is $721.99. At the last meeting, the City Council determined that a
reasonable approach would be to set the new compensation at $600 and directed the City staff to
prepare the necessary amending ordinance. As per Code, the change in Council compensation
will not apply until after the November 2008 general municipal election at the time the new City
Council members are seated.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
e
There will be no immediate financial impact by adopting an amending ordinance changing
compensation levels for City Council.
