PC CASE <br /> <br />SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE <br />AUTHORIZING A SALARY INCREASE FOR THE MAYOR <br /> <br />By: Givonna Reed, Human Resources Manager <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In response to a request by members of the City Council, at the May 18, 2004 Work <br />Session, the Assistant City Administrator presented information regarding current <br />compensation for mayors and council members in other cities. It was the consensus of <br />the City Council that staff should bring back an ordinance proposing a salary increase for <br />thc Mayor and Council Members in the amounts of $10,000 and $6,000, respectively. <br /> <br />During the discussion of the introduction of this ordinance at the June 22, 2004 City <br />Council meeting, the City Council voted to amend the ordinance to reflect that the salary <br />for Council Members would remain the same and the Mayor's salary would be increased <br />to $10,000. That change is reflected in the attached ordinance. <br /> <br />Section 2.7 (Salaries) of the City Charter states that "The mayor and councilmembers <br />shall receive such compensation as is fixed by the council in accordance with state <br />statutes. Any increases in such compensation shall not become effective until after the <br />next municipal election." <br /> <br />If approved, the proposed salary increase for the Mayor will take effect January 1, 2005. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Contingent upon discussion. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Contingent upon discussion <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />PC: 07/13/04 <br /> <br /> <br />
