HomeMy WebLinkAbout04-21-14 Memo to CommitteeCity of San Luis Obispo, City Administration, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401-3249, 805.781.7114, slocity.org
DATE: April 17, 2014
TO: Council Compensation Committee
FROM: Anthony Mejia, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Revised Compensation Comparison Survey and Timetable for Council Meetings
In response to a Council inquiry, staff discovered the salary data contained in the Council
Compensation Comparison Survey for the City of Santa Barbara reflects a bi-monthly amount,
unlike all of the other comparison cities which reflected a monthly amount. The previous survey
stated that the Mayor’s monthly salary is $1,912 and Council’s monthly salary is $1,551. The
correct amount for the City of Santa Barbara’s Mayor is $4,142 and Council is $3,313.
In addition, Santa Barbara has a unique Charter provision which ties the Mayor and Council
compensation to $100 and 80%, respectively, of the Area Median Income (AMI) for a one -person
household which automatically adjust annually on April 1. This provision was adopted by voters in
November 2004. We have contacted all of the comparison cities and confirmed that no other cities
utilize AMI to calculate Mayor or Council salaries. We also issued a City Clerk listserv inquiry as to
whether any cities, other than Santa Barbara, use AMI and no affirmative response was received.
The median household income in the City of San Luis Obispo is $53,900.
In response to another Council inquiry, staff prepared the attached spreadsheet which lists the
number of and duration of Council meetings held in Fiscal Year 2012-13 and 2013-14. Meeting
times were rounded to the nearest quarter hour.
