MEETING DATE: JUNE 15, 2010
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: KRISTI RECCHIA, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES AMENDING COMPENSATION AND
BENEFITS PROVIDED TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached Ordinances will amend compensation and benefits provided to
members of the City Council pursuant to Council direction.
RECOMMENDATION
tt is recommended that the City Council introduce by title only and waive reading of the
following Ordinances:
1. Ordinance No. 1383 amending the compensation and benefits provided to
Council Members; and
2. Ordinance No. 1384 amending the compensation provided to Council Members
for serving as members of the Community Development Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT
Cost savings of approximately $24,000 over the 2010-11 fiscal year (up to $71,500 over
a full year).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
After significant reductions to the compensation and benefits of other City employees,
the City Council has proposed reducing the level of compensation and City-paid
benefits provided to the Council Members themselves. Specifically, the Council has
directed staff to prepare an Ordinance reducing the salary of Council Members by 10%
and capping the City's contribution to Council Members' medical insurance at the cost
of the PERS Choice plan for the tier selected by the Council Member (i.e. employee
only, employee plus one dependent, or employee plus two or more dependents).
City Council Members also serve as members of the Community Development
Commission, the governing body of the Redevelopment Agency. Council Members
currently receive $75 for each Redevelopment Agency meeting attended in addition to

the compensation received for serving on the City Council. Since the City Council now
holds joint meetings with the Redevelopment Agency, the City Council is proposing to
eliminate the $75 per meeting Redevelopment Agency stipend.
The attached Ordinances follow the City Council's direction for reducing the amount of
compensation and benefits provided to Council Members.
