FROM: Michael Codron, Assistant City Manager
Prepared by: James David, Principal Analyst
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE
TO REMOVE COMPENSATION OF REOC MEMBERS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1615 amending Municipal Code Chapter 2.14.030 to remove
compensation of Citizen’s Revenue Enhancement Oversight Commission (REOC).
DISCUSSION
On April 21, 2015, the Council voted 5:0 to introduce Ordinance No. 1615 amending the
Municipal Code to remove compensation of REOC members. This was pursuant to a Council-
adopted mid-year budget resolution on February 17, 2015 that included elimination of funding
for REOC compensation. The municipal code amendment will become effective 30 days after
final passage of the Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The Council could reject adoption of the Municipal Code amendment. This is not advised
since the majority of Council approved the action to eliminate compensation at mid-year.
2. The Council could continue final adoption of the proposed amendment and provide
direction to staff for research and revisions, which would require re-introduction of the
ordinance.
