DISCUSSION OF CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING COMMISSION, AND ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW COMMISSION COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
The Committee received a memorandum from City Clerk Mejia, dated April 17, 2014,
concerning revised Mayor and Council salary data for the City of Santa Barbara, timetable
of Council meetings, and Area Median Income.
During the course of discussion, it was agreed that Council compensation should not be
tied to economic indexes such as Area Median Income or Consumer Price Index,
pointing out that formulaic increases are not a best practice for compensation setting
whether for Council or labor organizations. The Committee considered the revised
salary data for the City of Santa Barbara and concurred with its original
recommendation.
