provisions for General Law cities; and 4) Council and Mayor responsibilities in San Luis
Obispo at the time of the committee's review; and, 5) any structural changes that may have
occurred in municipal government either as a result of State legislation or by actions of the
local electorate that may have added to or deducted from the duties and responsibilities of the
Council Members and/orMayor.
Council Resolution No. 9189 (2001 SERIES) directs that Council review compensation for the
Planning Commission and Architectural Review Commission:
The Council will review compensation for.Planning Commission and Architectural Review
Commission members in conjunction with its periodic review of Council compensation as
set forth in the Council Policies and Procedures.
Consistent with past practice, Council Members nominated individuals to serve on the committee
by submitting names to the City Clerk. The City Clerk recruited individuals using the following
criteria: 1)by calling first those qualified to serve who received more than one nomination, 2)by
contacting one nominee from each Council Member, and 3)by recruiting Rebecca Ellis, Chair of
the Personnel Board. In the past, in the event that a member was unavailable for a committee
meeting, Council has appointed an alternate. Stephen Darcy and Dodie Williams, who were
nominated to the committee, have agreed to serve in the capacity of alternate should the need
arise.
