Subject:

Introduction and first reading of an ordinance establishing and codifying additional compensation for the Mayor.

Date:1/25/2022
OBJECTIVE

For the City Council to approve an ordinance establishing the additional compensation for the City's elected Mayor in the amount of $200 per month.
BACKGROUND

Government Code section 36516 authorizes the City Council to establish the compensation of the members of the City Council by ordinance.

The additional compensation will take effect after the November 2022 elections, provided that the ordinance adjusting the City Council's compensation takes effect.  

FINANCIAL IMPACT

This compensation adjustment will be incorporated into the FY 2022-2023 Continuation Budget.
RECOMMENDATION

Approve and pass to second reading the attached ordinance entitled:

 

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE ADDING SECTION 2.04.060 TO CHAPTER 2.04 (CITY COUNCIL) OF TITLE 2 (ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL) OF THE GARDEN GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR THE CITY’S ELECTED MAYOR PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36516.1.
