22-0927 114.3Increase to Council CompensationCC- ReportREPORT - ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION INCREASING COUNCIL COMPENSATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4 OF THE SANTA ROSA CITY CHARTER BACKGROUND: Section 4 of the City Charter provides that the Council may, by ordinance, provide for compensation of its members in accordance with standards set forth in state law. State law, in turn, sets forth a schedule of Council compensation based on city population. For a city the size of Santa Rosa, state law allows for an initial Council member salary of up to $800 per month. State law further provides that Council member salaries may be increased up to 5% each calendar year. The 5% increase is a flat rate, not compounded. For purposes of our Council members, the 5% increase equals an additional $40 per month. Although state law allows for periodic increases in salary, the Council has not taken advantage of that statutory allowance, and Council member salary has remained at $800 per month since 2005. The permitted 5% annual increase has thus accumulated for seventeen years. Based on that accumulation, the Council may now increa to waive reading of the text and introducePass Action details Video Video
