This chapter is enacted under Section 36516 of the Government Code of the State of California which authorizes a City Council to provide by ordinance that each member of the Council may receive a salary based upon the population of the City as determined by estimates made by the State Department of Finance.
(Ord. 744 § 1, January 17, 1972)
Each member of the City Council shall receive a salary in the sum of $350.00 per month. The salary is payable at the same time and in the same manner as the salary is paid to each of the officers and employees of the City.
(Ord. 1049 § 1, February 3, 1986; Ord. 1219 § 1, October 15, 2007)
When the State Department of Finance makes a new estimate of the population placing the City in a population group other than that set forth in Section 2.22.030, the salary payable to each member of the Council shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in order to equal the sum set forth for that population group in Section 36516 of the Government Code. However, the increase or the decrease in the salary becomes payable only after the date when one or more members of the Council become eligible for the new salary by beginning a new term of office following the succeeding general municipal election held in the City.
(Ord. 744 § 1, January 17, 1972)
The salaries prescribed by this chapter are exclusive of any other amount payable to a member of the Council as reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred by him or her in the performance of his or her official duties.
