21-012CRC 14.4Council CompensationCRC- Agenda ItemCOUNCIL COMPENSATION The City Council has recommended that, among other topics, the Committee research and consider preparing a Charter amendment to increase Council member compensation. Currently, the Charter allows for the establishment of Council compensation in accordance with formulas set forth in state law. For a city the size of Santa Rosa, state law allows for Council member salary of up to $800 per month. State law allows for an annual increase in salary of up to 5% (not compounded). State law also allows the city’s voters to approve a higher salary. The voters of Santa Rosa have approved a higher salary for the Mayor, currently equal to $1200 per month (150% of Council member salary). This agenda item will outline details of the current state law and options for increasing Council compensation.   Action details Video Video
