RECOMMENDED ACTION

BACKGROUND
Members of the Santa Clarita City Council are compensated monthly by the City for
the substantial amount of time and effort they contribute leading our local
government. Each Councilmember makes personal and financial sacrifices in order
to fulfill the responsibilities associated with their jobs. The last City Council
compensation adjustment took place on July 1, 2000.
Government Code Section 36516(c) sets forth basic provisions, which allow regular
adjustments to City Council compensation. Government Code Section 36516.5
requires that Council compensation adjustments be adopted by the present Council,
to be effective for future Councils. This proposed adjustment presents a reasonable
manner in which to assure the fair and equitable compensation of Councilmembers of
future City Councils. Section 36516(c) provides for Councilmember compensation to
be increased 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment
of salary. The last salary adjustment was July 1, 2000. The recommended increase
in Council Compensation is a compounded 10% increase to be effective July 1, 2002.
This represents a 5% increase for the period of July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001
and a 5% increase for the period of July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002. The proposed
adjustment as set forth by the Government Code Section 36516(c) is as follows:
Current Compensation Proposed Compensation (07/01/02)
