With the release of the latest press “Press Release” by e-mail blast from the halls of the city.
(For which 225 residents were signed up for in January of 2016)
One can’t help but wonder how long it will be before the city council gives itself a pay raise. Any guesses as it being the next council meeting on May 11, 2016. This along with making this pay raise retroactive to the first of the year.
Legally they are entitled because the population of the city has reach the number established by California Government Code 36516. (a) (1) A city council may enact an ordinance providing that each member of the city council shall receive a salary based on the population of the city as set forth in paragraph (2).
Paragraph (2) The salaries approved by ordinance under paragraph (1) shall be as follows:
(A) In cities up to and including 35,000 in population, up to and
including three hundred dollars ($300) per month.
(B) In cities over 35,000 up to and including 50,000 in
population, up to and including four hundred dollars ($400) per
Month.
Hang on to the seat of your pants while they shoot for 50,000+ so they can receive $500.00 a month
