TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE APRIL 4, 1990
SUBJECT: CONSIDER CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council consideration of an ordinance authorized by
Government Code Section 36516, setting Council
salaries at the specified statutory amount.
BSD INFORMATION: California Government Code Section 36516 establishes
salaries for council members of general law cities,
based on population. Under this section, the Council
in 1985 set the salary at $400 per month, which was
the allowable rate for cities having populations of
between 35,000 and 50,000. There have been no
increases since that time.
Under subsection (a)(3) of this statute, council
members' salaries in cities with populations exceeding 50,000 but less than
75,00 may be set at up to $500 per month.
It is noted that Lodi's population was expected to exceed 50,000 in October
1989, and our city limit signs were changed to reflect that figure.
In order to increase the council salary to that which the statute authorizes,
the population determination must be based on an estimate validated by the
California State Department of Finance, which issues such figures yearly on
May 1. It is assumed that figure will confirm the population as being in
excess of 50,000.
Should the Council choose to adopt this ordinance, under the terms of
Government Code Section 36516.5 and Municipal Code Section 2.08.030, the
increase cannot become effective until following the November 1990 Council
election.
Respectfully submitted,
