Dear
City
Council
Members,
We
wish
to
comment
on
the
upcoming
City
Council
Agenda
item
7-
C
regarding
a
proposal
to
revise
the
salary
of
the
mayor
and
City
Councilmembers,
and
suggest
that
the
ballot
measure
include
clarifying
language
that
states
what
the
current
amount
would
be.
This
would
allow
transparency
for
voters
to
understand
the
fiscal
impact
of
the
measure.
Thank
you.
