RESOLUTION NO. ___-24
RESOLUTION REVISING THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION
TO THE IRS SECTION 125 "CAFETERIA PLAN" FOR
THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
WHEREAS, California Government Code sections 36516 et seq. define the requirements and limitations for compensation and benefits for mayors and city councilmembers of California cities; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council members recognize the significant increases in costs related to medical, dental and vision care and the cafeteria benefit has fallen behind the amount eligible for City staff as well as the amounts paid to other members of city councils in San Diego County; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council members currently receive $1, 450 each month in in City contributions to their Internal Revenue Code section 125 "Cafeteria Plan" accounts; and
WHEREAS, the current cafeteria benefit allotment for City staff will increase to $1,550 per month effective January 2025; and
WHEREAS, City Council approval of the proposed cafeteria benefit allotment increase is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with section15378(b)(2) because it is a personnel -related action and is therefore not a project; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Councilmembers' cafeteria benefit allotment be adjusted to $1,550 per month effective January 2025, which will align with the approved City staff amount effective January 2025.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and are findings of fact of the El Cajon City Council.
Section 2. That beginning January 2025, the City of El Cajon will contribute the Mayor's and Councilmembers' cafeteria benefit allotment in the amount of $ 1,550 per month.
