PROPOSED 1979 SALARY ORDINANCE
[Item (I). on Consent Agenda]
The salary of the Mayor had not been designated in the proposed ordinance, and this was considered,
with general agreement that the 6.5% cost -of -living guidelines should be followed. Section
2.(4) of the proposed ordinance, having to do with salaries for Council members elected to
terms of office commencing January, 1980, was discussed, as it proposed a monthly salary of
$200, rather than the per meeting salary currently specified. The concept of the monthly
salary appeared to be acceptable, but there was a difference in opinion regarding the amount.
Some felt Councilmen's salaries should be brought up to be more in line with. other cities, but
the opinion also was expressed that if the amount becomes significant it becomes a problem if
you are employed full time and feel you.have to do too much and it thereby may conflict with
MOTION: your full time job. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN HERB, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE
Amended 2047, WITH THE MAYOR'S SALARY SPECIFIED AS $91.6 PER MONTH. COUNCILMAN CLEMENT MOVED, SECONDED
