Subject:compensation committee
Greetings,
I am writing in regards to the proposal to raise compensation for council and mayor positions for the city
of SLO. Being new to SLO city and a resident of SLO county for decades this is an issue I find important
and relevant as many members of the community are dissuaded from seeking public office due to
financial constraints. It is evident that these positions hold a significant and time intensive position in
the lives of those who choose to serve. I would hope that members of the city council and mayoral
office would be compensated at a level that would allow individuals who may not otherwise have the
financial means to dedicate time to service an opportunity. Raising compensation will level the ground
for many who would not otherwise be able to, or consider serving because of the financial constraints
upon them. This will allow more equal opportunity for representation from members of our community
who may not otherwise consider service due to full-time work commitments.
Please consider the proposals before you seriously as they have the potential to shape government in
service to the larger needs of the community and ensure more equal representation amongst city
council and mayoral candidates in the future.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lindsey
