Meeting Date: February 3, 2009
Section: Public Hearings
| SUBJECT: |
INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ONTARIO MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 2, CHAPTER 1, TO MODIFY SALARY COMPENSATION FOR THE MAYOR POSITION |
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council introduce and consider an ordinance amending Section 2-1.203(b) of the Ontario Municipal Code establishing a sunset provision pertaining to the additional salary compensation rate for the Mayor position.
COUNCIL GOALS: Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed modification in salary compensation for the Mayor position will be effective after the next election in November 2010 and result in budgetary savings of $30,000 annually.
BACKGROUND: California Government Code Section 36516.1 permits the City Council to establish, by ordinance, additional salary compensation for the Mayor position. At the City Council meeting on February 20, 2007, the Council approved an additional compensation amount of $2,500 per month above the $385.25 already in effect. Now, due to the current economic climate and budget constraints, the City Council is considering a sunset provision to terminate the additional compensation approved in February 2007. This action would retain the current salary compensation provided for under Section 2?1.203(b) of the Ontario Municipal Code until after the next election in November 2010, at which time the additional compensation amount would be reduced by $2,500 per month. Currently, the additional monthly compensation is $2,885.25.
