Planning Commission and Architectural Review Commission (ARC)Stipends City Clerk Price presented a summary of a survey of General Law and Charter Cities Survey relating to Planning Commission and ARC stipends. She noted that SLO pays what appears to be the average stipend for Planning Commissioners statewide and,further,pointed out that only a few cities pay members of the ARC at all. Committee members mutually agreed that members of the public who choose to volunteer to serve the City in either capacity do it for reasons other than monetary benefit. The Committee decided that both advisory bodies are appropriately compensated at this time and took no action to formulate a recommendation to make a change. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact given the Committee's recommendation to make no change in compensation. ALTERNATIVES 1. Modify the compensation and direct staff to return with a resolution formalizing the change. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 9189 (2001 Series) 2.
