CITY OF GROVER BEACH
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCT AND DECORUM AT COUNCIL MEETINGS (Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-44, adopted 04-16-07, revised 02-18-2020) The City Council and staff welcomes and encourages civic participation and debate on issues. The Council values the public’s opinion and in every Council meeting invite and encourages the public to address the Council on any matter of interest. The Council adopted these policies and procedures for appropriate conduct and decorum at Council meetings and establish guidance for public participation during Council meetings.
These policies will foster and provide greater clarity to preserve the intent of open government and maintain a positive environment for public input and City Council decision-making.
1.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – IN GENERAL
1.1 The presiding officer is responsible for the maintenance of order and decorum at all times.
1.2 The presiding officer shall determine all points of order subject to the right of any Council member to appeal to the City Council by majority vote. If any appeal is taken, the question shall be “Shall the decision of the presiding officer be sustained” in which event a majority vote of the Council shall govern and conclusively determine such question of order.
1.3 All Council members, staff members and members of the public should speak respectfully and avoid the use of profanity, vulgarity and slanderous comments. Recognizing that the First Amendment precludes the City Council form prohibiting speakers from speaking based upon the content of their speech, the presiding officer shall use their best efforts, short of enforcement action, to remind and encourage all participating in the meeting to keep their speech respectful towards others and within bounds appropriate for children and persons of sensitivity toward course language as a courtesy to others present or otherwise viewing Council meetings.
2.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – COUNCIL MEMBERS
2.1 Manner of Speaking.
Any Council member desiring to speak shall first address the presiding officer. Upon recognition by the presiding officer, the Council member shall speak only to the question under debate.
2.1(a) Questioning Staff.
A Council member desiring to question the staff should address his question to the City Manager, or, in appropriate cases, the City Clerk or City Attorney, who shall be entitled either to answer the inquiry or to designate some staff member for that purpose. Such a designation may be made at the time of any staff presentation or on the agenda listing for the item.
2.1(b) Interruptions.
Once recognized, a Council member shall not be interrupted while speaking unless called to order by the presiding officer; unless a point of order is raised by another Council member, or unless the speaker chooses to yield to questions from another Council member.
3.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – STAFF
3.1 City Manager Responsibilities
The City Manager is responsible for ensuring that members of the administrative staff observe the rules of decorum and order set forth in this Policy.
3.2 Addressing the City Council
Any administrative staff member desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member or member of the public. Administrative staff members shall accord the utmost courtesy to the City Council, other administrative staff members and the public.
4.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
4.1 Addressing the City Council
Any member of the public desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer at the appropriate place on the agenda. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member, City Manager, City Attorney or member of the administrative staff or member of the public.
4.2 Time Limitation for Addressing the City Council
Public comment when addressing the City Council shall be generally limited to three (3) minutes per speaker. Depending on the extent of the agenda and the number of persons desiring to speak on an issue, the presiding officer may, at the beginning of the hearing, set a different time limit for each speaker. Any person may speak for a longer period of time upon approval from the presiding officer, when deemed necessary, for instance when a person is speaking on behalf of a group or has a graphic or slide presentation requiring more time.
4.3 Failure to Yield, Disruptions
Any person who refuses to relinquish the floor after their allotted time or while attending the City Council meeting engages in conduct or speech which disrupts the business of the meeting shall be brought to order and/or removed from the room if the sergeant-at-arms is so directed by the presiding officer.
Disruptive remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, clapping, whistles, yells and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the presiding officer who may direct the sergeant-at-arms to remove such offenders from the room.
4.4 Prosecution
Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint signed by the presiding officer.
5.0 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM
5.1 The Chief of Police or his designee shall be the ex-officio sergeant-at-arms of the City Council. The sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all legal and valid orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum in the Council Chamber. Upon instructions from the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to remove any disorderly person from the Council Chambers or place the disorderly person under arrest or both.
5.2 As set forth in Government Code Section 54957.9, in the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a person or group of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible or impedes the ability of the Council to hold the meeting, and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the presiding officer may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Duly accredited representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the City Council from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.
PROCLAMATION OF THE GROVER BEACH CITY COUNCIL
PROCLAIMING MAY AS “NATIONAL FOSTER CARE MONTH”
WHEREAS, The City of Grover Beach recognizes the importance of providing children safe, healthy and loving homes when they are unable to remain in the home of their biological family; and WHEREAS, there are more than 430,000 children in the United States in the foster care system; and
WHEREAS, more than 60,000 children in California are in the foster care system; and WHEREAS, there are over 350 children, youth, and teenagers in the County of San Luis Obispo who are in the foster care system; and
WHEREAS, to help these children have a healthy, loving and stable home environment where they can thrive and feel connected to a community that cares for them, and to support the resource families that provide these critical homes, the City of Grover Beach is acknowledging National Foster Care Month to raise awareness about the need for more resource family homes in our county for local children and join other organizations to celebrate resource families in our community; and WHEREAS, this effort, along with similar celebrations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, will offer children the chance to live with healthy, loving and stable resource families when they cannot live with their birth families and encourage other dedicated individuals to make a powerful difference in the lives of a child through resource family care.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Grover Beach City Council is proclaiming May 2022 as "National Foster Care Month” in the City of Grover Beach and in so doing, urge all citizens to join in a national effort to raise awareness about the importance of foster care and resource family care.

PROCLAMATION OF THE GROVER BEACH CITY COUNCIL
IN RECOGNITION OF
WORLD WAR II COMMEMORATION WEEK
WHEREAS, in the months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the advent of World War II dramatically and irrevocably transformed the County of San Luis Obispo and all its population as the entire nation mobilized for war; and
WHEREAS, Camp San Luis Obispo was activated by the Army in 1940 and during the war, the post served as a training base for 22,000 soldiers, with nine combat divisions training there that deployed both to European and the Pacific Theaters of war, as well as 5,000 Marines. By war’s end in 1945, over 140,000 soldiers had prepared for war at Camp San Luis Obispo; and WHEREAS, Camp Roberts in northern San Luis Obispo County began its mission in March 1941; throughout World War II, Camp Roberts was the largest U.S. Army basic training installation in the nation. Over 436,000 troops were trained here, over 5% of the nation’s entire Army during the war. By 1944 this base reached its peak population of 45,000 troops, with thousands of these soldiers quartered in huge tent cities with a 750-bed hospital, churches, warehouses, PXs, and other support facilities (many of which continue in use today); and WHEREAS, the last week of April 1942 held special significance in the history of each of the communities throughout the Central Coast, because on April 30 the nation began the enforcement of Executive Order 9066 throughout the County. Japanese Americans were expelled from their homes and confined in internment camps for the duration of the conflict many of them citizens of the United States; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate that the residents of the Central Coast set aside a week in April 2022 to reflect upon that time – only 80 years ago – where our community and our nation came together as one people to fight the common enemy of the Third Reich and Japanese Imperialism; a time when we entered a war that ended not only with military victory, but with the establishment of institutions that fostered a peaceful world order committed to human rights, democracy, and respect for national sovereignty and the common aspirations of humanity; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Grover Beach City Council does hereby proclaim the last week of April as “World War II Commemoration Week marking this week with free public events throughout the County to educate our citizens about the brave men and women who endured enormous sacrifices of their property, their liberty, and in many cases their lives to achieve victory in World War II and kindle the hopes for a lasting peace.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Grover Beach to be affixed this 25h day of April, 2022.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 25, 2022 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Karla Mattocks, Management Analyst-Human Resources SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Conversion of an Engineering Technician Position to Assistant Engineer within the Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution authorizing conversion of an Engineering Technician position to Assistant Engineer within the Public Works Department from.
BACKGROUND
The City’s previous Engineering Technician retired in January and the City has subsequently conducted a recruitment for the vacant position. This recruitment has proven to be extremely challenging due to the highly competitive job market and limited availability of candidates with a background in engineering. Traditionally, the civil engineering profession included licensed professional engineers who designed projects and engineering technicians who drafted project documents and acted as support staff. The Engineering Technician series does not require a four-year degree and as the civil engineering profession has evolved, the non-degree pathway to the engineering field has been largely replaced by a traditional four-year degree pathway.
Recent graduates in the field of civil engineering would meet the qualifications for the position of Assistant Engineer with most public and private organizations. This makes it difficult to attract talent to the classification of Engineering Technician.
The difficulties of recruiting for the position, along with the increased engineering workload in the Public Works Department and a sizable increase in activity requiring engineering review indicates that the needs of the department would be better met by fulfilling the current vacancy at the level of Assistant Engineer. The position of Assistant Engineer is more commensurate with the opportunities and compensation available to new graduates and offers the possibility of future advancement, once requirements are met, to the position of Associate Engineer and eventually Senior Engineer. This addition will provide broader support to the Public Works team of Senior Engineer, Capital Improvements Project Manager, and City Engineer/Public Works Director and is consistent with the structure of other City Departments of similar size. Pending Council action, the City will reopen this recruitment process with this higher level position.
Staff has discussed the proposed allocation change with representatives from Service Employees International Union Local 620 through the ‘meet and confer’ process and no concerns were raised.

SUBJECT: Legislative Update from the League of California Cities
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report on current legislation and other related State issues from the League of California Cities and provide input and direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) was founded in 1898 to advocate for local control through advocacy in the State legislature, at the ballot box, and in the courts and through strategic outreach and education for the public, policymakers and stakeholders. Annual advocacy efforts by Cal Cities are determined by seeking resolutions from Cal Cities membership, including the City. Cal Cities has identified the following strategic advocacy priorities for 2022 on behalf of cities throughout the state:
• Secure funding to increase the supply and affordability of housing and reform state housing laws to retain local authority;
• Attain investments to strengthen and sustain critical infrastructure; • Secure increased funding and resources to prevent homelessness and assist individuals experiencing homelessness; and
• Strengthen disaster preparedness, resiliency and recovery from climate change impacts through improved collaboration and resources.
Additional information about these priorities is shown in Attachment 1. As part of the City’s partnership with Cal Cities, the Channel Counties (San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties) Regional Public Affairs Manager, Dave Mullinax, will provide the Council with an overview of pending legislation and other related issues at the State level and to discuss the value and importance of legislative platforms for the Council’s future consideration.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 25, 2022 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Deanne Purcell, Administrative Services Director Kristin Eriksson, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: FY 2022-23 Budget Update and Major City Goals Work Programs
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report on the FY 2022-23 budget development process and draft work programs for Major City Goals and provide input and direction to staff.
BACKGROUND
The FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 (Two-Year) Operating and Capital Budget for all funds was approved by City Council on June 28, 2021. As the City approaches the beginning of FY 2022- 23, staff has reviewed revenue projections to develop updates where needed for the upcoming fiscal year. In addition, each department assessed their FY 2022-23 budgets to see if any changes in appropriations were necessary due to unanticipated items that have arisen since the adoption of the original budget. The beginning of the FY 2022-23 budget update began with a five-year General Fund financial forecast presented to Council on February 28, 2022. The forecast showed the City in a favorable financial position with reserves over the Council goal of 25% of operating costs. However, there are some short-term issues that include sluggish cannabis tax revenues and high inflation that were taken into consideration in the forecast and will be included in the updated FY 2022-23 budget.
The Council also participated in a goal-setting workshop on March 7, 2022 where Council reviewed and updated the Council Goals for FY 2022-23 as shown in Attachment 1. As noted further in this report, the Council provided staff direction to make minor changes to the Council Goals. The recommendations that will be included in the proposed budget are intended to continue aligning the City’s resources to the Council’s priorities as expressed through the Council Goals.
FY 2022-23 Budget Update
In FY 2021-22, the City shifted from an annual budget to a biennial cycle or two-year budget for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23. The process is more consolidated than annual budgeting and still allows for quarterly budget status reporting and a mid-year review provided to the Council. In addition, since budgets can only be appropriated for a single year, the budget for the second year (FY 2022-23) was a projection. The purpose of this report is to provide updated information on the FY 2022-23 budget that will presented further at the June 13th budget hearing. This update includes both estimated revenues and appropriated expenditures for the General Fund and Enterprise Funds, including the five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that was presented to Council on March 28, 2022.
Staff Report: FY 2022-23 Budget Update and Major City Goals Work Programs Page 2 April 25, 2022
General Fund Revenue
The original adopted budget for FY 2022-23 was reviewed and compared to the most up-to-date revenue collections through the third quarter of FY 2021-22 and historical trends. The budget update shows a total decrease in revenue of $174,500, mainly due to a significant decrease in cannabis tax revenues which was partially offset with increases in sales and property tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT).
• Sales Tax projections were determined using the most recent report from the City’s sales tax consultant with an estimate of an additional $250,000 in sales tax revenues for FY 2021-22 and a 4% increase or an additional $354,000 in the updated FY 2022-23 budget. • Property Tax projections for FY 2021-22 year-end are in line with the estimates provided by San Luis Obispo County Tax Assessor’s Office. The FY 2022-23 original budget assumed that the City’s property tax revenues would increase by 3% in FY 2022-23 from the current FY 2021-22. The most recent estimates provided in January 2022 by San Luis Obispo County Tax Assessor’s Office project a 4% increase for next fiscal year 2022-23 or an increase of $75,000 from the original FY 2022-23 budget. • Cannabis Tax projections for the year-end FY 2021-22 are estimated to be $1,600,000 or $848,000 lower than the $2,448,000 originally budgeted based on revenues received through the third quarter. The FY 2022-23 update is based on the $1,600,000 year-end estimate with a 2% increase or $1,632,000. This will decrease the originally budgeted revenue for FY 2022-23 by $816,000. These estimates represent resetting expectations for cannabis tax revenues given continued uncertainty in the cannabis industry from a heavy degree of State regulation and taxation, number of cannabis businesses operating in nearby cities, and the extent of illegal cannabis businesses. • Transient Occupancy Tax projections are based on the added short-term rentals (STRs) and increased travel activity that has picked up considerably in FY 2021-22 compared to the last two years that were impacted by the pandemic. The projections assume $850,000 for FY 2021-22 and $750,000 for FY 2022-23. FY 2021-22 included a one-time collection effort of $95,000 from prior years where some permitted STRs were not paying required revenues in a timely manner. Staff has worked with these STR permit holders to make sure they are staying current.
General Fund Expense
For the FY 2022-23 budget update, staff spent a significant amount of time reviewing the existing salaries and benefits budget based on the actual expense through the third quarter of FY 2021- 22 and projecting the year-end estimate for FY 2021-22. This estimate was used to compare what was budgeted for FY 2022-23, taking into consideration any adjustments to MOU’s, step increases or decreases (due to new hires) and any other adjustments. The FY 2022-23 update to salaries and benefits is $81,000 or a 1% increase from the FY 2022-23 original budget which was based on a 2% increase and thus this update falls in line with labor agreements.
There is a 1.7% or $128,000 increase to the total FY 2022-23 supplies and services budget for the General Fund. The original budget was based on a 2% inflationary factor, although inflation rose to 7.5% in January 2022, but is forecast to come down to more normal levels over the coming fiscal year. The adjustment was needed to cover the inflationary increases of $59,000 including office supplies, fuel, vehicle maintenance and utility cost. Other large items that needed to be adjusted included $14,000 for computer replacements and $55,000 for police body cameras.
Staff Report: FY 2022-23 Budget Update and Major City Goals Work Programs Page 3 April 25, 2022
Overall, the updated General Fund budget for FY 2022-23 will be balanced with revenues of $18.9 million and expenditures of $18.8 million for a surplus of approximately $100,000. The budget also produces ending reserves of approximately 39% of operating expenditures compared with the Council’s reserve goal of 25% to provide sufficient reserves for emergencies or unforeseen events or needs.
Update to Major City Goals Work Programs for FY 2022-23 On March 7, 2022, the Council conducted a mid-year Council Goals workshop to determine any updates to the Council Goals for FY 2022-23. At the workshop, the staff lead(s) for each Major City Goal presented an overview of the accomplishments within the respective goal area as well as items that have not yet been achieved or deferred due to staff resource, workload constraints, or other factors. Staff then sought Council input and direction in the following areas:
1. Are there any changes that the Council would like to make to the current goals?
2. Are there any key items to particularly focus on in FY 2022-23 in implementing the Council Goals?
After consideration of public comment and deliberation the Council directed staff to do the following:
1. Add Water Resiliency as an “Other Important Goal” with an emphasis on working on the Central Coast Blue project; and
2. Revise the existing Environmental Sustainability Goal in the “Address as Resources Permit” category to remove the Central Coast Blue project; and
3. Move the Pedestrian, Bicycle and Traffic Safety Goal from the “Other Important Goals” category and into the “Address as Resources Permit” category.
The updated Council Goals for FY 2022-23 are as follows:
• Major City Goals. These represent the most important, highest priority goals for the City to accomplish over the next two years, and as such, resources to achieve them should be included in the FY 2021-23 budget.
o Economic Development
o Housing and Homelessness
o Public Safety
o Street Improvements
• Other Important Goals. Goals in this category are important for the City to accomplish, and resources to achieve them should be made available in the FY 2021-23 budget where feasible.
o Building and Facility Improvements
o City Beautification and Public Art
o Community Engagement
o Water Resiliency
• Address as Resources Permit. While it is desirable to achieve these goals over the next two years, doing so is subject to current resource availability. o Code Compliance
o Environmental Sustainability
o Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
o Recreation and Community Programs
Staff Report: FY 2022-23 Budget Update and Major City Goals Work Programs Page 4 April 25, 2022
In light of the updated Council goals, staff developed updated work programs for each Major City Goal to identify what staff will focus on next fiscal year. The purpose of the work programs is to define and scope the adopted goal and ensure that staff has a clear understanding of the goal so that appropriate resources are allocated and progress can be measured in achieving it. This is particularly important for goals where full achievement will extend beyond a single fiscal year.
Attachment 2 contains the draft FY 2022-23 work programs for the four Major City Goals as developed by staff. Each work program includes the goal statement, action plan with tasks and due dates, and estimated financial resources required to accomplish these tasks. Financial resources in these draft work programs reflect a combination of funding resources and include both existing funding and recommended changes for next year’s budget including items referenced in this staff report.
Summary
Staff is seeking Council’s input and direction on the FY 2022-23 budget update and draft FY 2022- 23 Major City Goal work programs. This input and direction will be used in finalizing the updated budget for FY 2022-23 which will be presented to the Council at the June 13th budget hearing.
Staff will also present a proposed allocation for use of the City’s second year of American Rescue Plan Act funds at the budget hearing. The Council’s adoption of the final budget in June will serve as the final approval for the Major City Goal work programs which staff will begin implementing in the new fiscal year and report back to Council on progress throughout the year.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from this agenda item.

Changes in housing will take time given the work involved in private sector housing production along with the development of the People’s Self-Help Housing/HASLO affordable housing project on on South 13th Street.
• Homelessness is one of the most difficult issues facing local government and is an issue that extends beyond the role of cities in addressing it. However, additional funding and City and County focus on MAJOR CITY GOAL FY 2022-23 WORK PROGRAM

Agenda Item No. 12
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 25, 2022 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kristin Eriksson, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Council Compensation Review and Direction
RECOMMENDATION
Receive information about compensation and other benefits provided to Council Members in Grover Beach and provide direction to staff on potential changes.
BACKGROUND:
At the April 11th Council meeting, Council Member Miller requested scheduling an agenda item to consider increasing the compensation received by the Council given increases in cost of living. The Council concurred with this request and provided direction to staff to schedule this item for an upcoming meeting. The current compensation of $600 per month for Council Members and $750 per month for the directly-elected Mayor was approved on December 4, 2017 and became effective in December 2018 following the November 2018 election.
Previously, Council compensation had not been adjusted since 1986 and was the lowest level among the seven cities in San Luis Obispo County.
Grover Beach Municipal Code and State law establish the permissible amount and the method of calculating Council salaries. Those regulations (Attachment 1) are summarized as follows:
• A City Council is permitted to establish its salary based on the population of the city. For those cities up to and including 35,000 in population, such as Grover Beach, the salary may be established at an amount up to and including $300 per month. The salary level for members of the Grover Beach City Council is established at $300 per month.
• By ordinance, Council salaries may be increased beyond the amount provided by law, but the amount of the increase cannot be more than five percent (5%) for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment was enacted. For example, since the Council has not had a salary increase since 2018 or four years, it may adopt an ordinance to increase its salary by 20% (4 years x 5% = 20%). Calculations may not be compounded or added one on top of the other.
• Council salaries must be adopted by ordinance, not by resolution, and may not be automatically increased in the future. Amounts paid by a city for retirement or health benefits, or reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses, are not included for purposes of determining salary. Payment for participation on commissions, committees or similar bodies paid by the City are included in the total calculation.
Staff Report: Council Compensation Review and Direction Page 2 April 25, 2022
• An ordinance changing Council compensation does not apply to a Council Member during his/her term of office but does not prevent the adjustment of compensation whenever one or more members of the Council becomes eligible for a salary increase due to staggered terms of office. Therefore, if the Council approves and adopts an ordinance changing Council compensation, the change in salary takes effect for all Council Members following the next municipal election. Thus, a Council Member serving a four-year term of office would receive a mid-term increase in compensation. • A directly-elected Mayor may be provided with compensation in addition to that which he/she receives as a Council Member. This additional compensation may be provided by an ordinance adopted by the City Council or by a majority vote of the electors voting on such proposition at a municipal election. • Another consideration for directly-elected Mayors is that the Attorney General has ruled that the prohibition against “mid-term” salary increases applicable to Council Members (pursuant to GC Section 36516.5) does not apply to directly-elected Mayors. The additional compensation for performing mayoral duties is not received as “a councilperson.” 89 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 159 (2006). For the same reason, it would seem that the 5% annual maximum, while applicable to salary received as a Council Member, would not apply to any additional compensation provided to the directly-elected Mayor. (Attachment 2).
The last ordinance adopted by the Council that pertained to Council Member compensation was adopted on December 4, 2017. Compensation for Council Members was set at $600 per month and at $750 per month for the directly-elected Mayor. Council determined that the change in compensation levels would become effective in December 2018, following the November 2018 General Municipal Election.
City Council Stipends
For purposes of comparison, below are the current levels of Council monthly salaries or stipends within San Luis Obispo County with Grover Beach at the lowest level in the county along with Atascadero:
City Council Stipends
City Council Member Mayor
Arroyo Grande $648 $798
Atascadero $600 $750
Grover Beach $600 $750
Morro Bay $1,000* $1,400*
Paso Robles $600 $800
Pismo Beach $772 $1,072
San Luis Obispo $2,139 $2,696 * Effective November 2022 As noted above, the Council may direct staff to return with an ordinance to increase Council salaries up to 20% or $720 per month for Council Members. If the Mayor’s stipend is also increased by 20% or to $900 per month, this would be an annual cost increase of $7,560 or $4,410 for next fiscal year assuming a December 2022 implementation.
Staff Report: Council Compensation Review and Direction Page 3 April 25, 2022
City Council Insurance Benefits
In addition to salary levels, staff surveyed Council health benefits within San Luis Obispo County. Each city varies as to whether they contribute to the entire cost of coverage or a specific amount toward the cost of insurance. The following shows which benefits are covered by the cities with Grover Beach the only city in the county to not offer health benefits to Council Members:
City Council Insurance Benefits
City Medical Dental Vision Life
Arroyo Grande X X X 0
Atascadero X X X X
Grover Beach 0 0 0 0
Morro Bay X X X X
Paso Robles X X X 0
Pismo Beach X X X X
San Luis Obispo X X X X
0 – Not offered
X – Offered
Insurance benefits offered to City staff vary by bargaining group. The City generally contributes between approximately $640 per month for employee-only coverage and $1,640 for employee, plus family (spouse and children) coverage. If all five members of the Council were to receive a similar contribution, it would cost approximately $38,400 to $98,400 per year, depending on each member’s coverage.
City Council Equipment
Lastly, staff surveyed other cities to identify technology equipment provided to Council Members and found that few cities currently provide such equipment or an expense allowance or stipend as shown below:
City Council Equipment
City Tablet Cell Phone Internet Overall Stipend
Arroyo Grande 0 0 0 0
Atascadero 0 0 0 0
Grover Beach 0 0 0 0
Morro Bay 0 0 0 0
Paso Robles 0 0 0 0
Pismo Beach 0 S S S
San Luis Obispo 0 X S S
0 – no compensation
X – Device provided directly to elected official
S – Stipend or reimbursement provided to elected official Staff estimates including all devices or services listed above could cost between $1,900 and $2,200 in the first year (annual costs for years when devices are not purchased would be approximately $500). Alternatively, Council could direct staff to add a stipend to compensate for all of these costs to Council compensation.
Staff is seeking the Council’s direction on consideration of potential changes to Council compensation and when those changes should become effective. Staff recommends that any Staff Report: Council Compensation Review and Direction Page 4 April 25, 2022
salary/stipend changes and/or the addition of insurance benefits occur after the next scheduled municipal election in November 2022. If directed by the Council, staff would introduce an ordinance to make any changes at the May 9th meeting with a second reading and public hearing at the May 23rd meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annual costs for stipend increases are estimated to be up to $7,560 per year. Annual costs for adding insurance benefits for councilmembers is estimated to be between $38,400 to $98,400, assuming all Council Members opt for coverage. Provision of reimbursements for certain equipment is estimated to cost between $1,900 and $2,200 in the first year.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Provide direction to staff on potential changes to compensation and other benefits provided to Council Members; or
2. Receive and file the information; or
3. Provide alternate direction to staff

THE HONORABLE JENNY OROPEZA, MEMBER OF THE STATE
ASSEMBLY, has requested an opinion on the following questions:
1. Is the 5 percent salary increase authorized for city council members of a general law city to be applied to the currently received salary amount for the total number of years since the last salary adjustment?
2. May the additional compensation authorized for a mayor of a general law city be increased during his or her term of office as mayor? 1 06-504
Attachment 2
CONCLUSIONS
1. The 5 percent salary increase authorized for city council members of a general law city is to be applied to the currently received salary amount for the total number of years since the last salary adjustment.
2. The additional compensation authorized for a mayor of a general law city may be increased during his or her term of office as mayor.
ANALYSIS
The two questions presented for resolution concern the compensation authorized for city council members and mayors of general law cities in California. We are asked to interpret two different statutes. The first is Government Code section 36516,1 which
states:
ì(a) A city council may enact an ordinance providing that each member of the city council shall receive a salary, the amount of which shall be determined by the following schedule:
ì(1) In cities up to and including 35,000 in population, up to and including three hundred dollars ($300) per month.
ì(2) In cities over 35,000 up to and including 50,000 in population, up to and including four hundred dollars ($400) per month. ì(3) In cities over 50,000 up to and including 75,000 in population, up to and including five hundred dollars ($500) per month. ì(4) In cities over 75,000 up to and including 150,000 in population, up to and including six hundred dollars ($600) per month. ì(5) In cities over 150,000 up to and including 250,000 in population, up to and including eight hundred dollars ($800) per month. ì(6) In cities over 250,000 population, up to and including one thousand dollars ($1,000) per month.
1 All further references to the Government Code are by section number only. 2 06-504
ìFor the purposes of this section the population shall be determined by the last preceding federal census, or a subsequent census, or estimate validated by the Department of Finance.
ì(b) At any municipal election, the question of whether city council members shall receive compensation for services, and the amount of compensation, may be submitted to the electors. If a majority of the electors voting at the election favor it, all of the council members shall receive the compensation specified in the election call. Compensation of council members may be increased beyond the amount provided in this section or decreased below the amount in the same manner.
ì(c) Compensation of council members may be increased beyond the amount provided in this section by an ordinance or by an amendment to an ordinance but the amount of the increase may not exceed an amount equal to 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted. No salary ordinance shall be enacted or amended which provides for automatic future increases in salary.
ì(d) Unless specifically authorized by another statute, a city council may not enact an ordinance providing for compensation to city council members in excess of that authorized by the procedures described in subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive. For the purposes of this section, compensation includes payment for service by a city council member on a commission, committee, board, authority, or similar body on which the city council member serves. If the other statute that authorizes the compensation does not specify the amount of compensation, the maximum amount shall be one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per month for each commission, committee, board, authority, or similar body.
ì(e) Any amounts paid by a city for retirement, health and welfare, and federal social security benefits shall not be included for purposes of determining salary under this section provided the same benefits are available and paid by the city for its employees.
ì(f) Any amounts paid by a city to reimburse a council member for actual and necessary expenses pursuant to Section 36514.5 shall not be included for purposes of determining salary pursuant to this section.î (Italics added.)

The second statute requiring interpretation is section 36516.1, which provides:
ìA mayor elected pursuant to Sections 34900 to 34904, inclusive, of the Government Code may be provided with compensation in addition to that which he receives as a councilman. Such additional compensation may be provided by an ordinance adopted by the city council or by a majority vote of the electors voting on the proposition at a municipal election.î Under section 36516, subdivision (c), is the authorized 5 percent annual salary increase for city council members to be applied to the current salary amount for the total number of years since the last salary adjustment? Under section 36516.1, may a mayor receive the authorized additional compensation during his or her term of office?
1. Salary Increase for City Council Members
Subdivision (a) of section 36516 sets a maximum amount for the salary of a city council member, depending upon the size of the city. (89 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 135, 139 (2006); 84 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 13, 15 (2001); 80 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 119, 120-122 (1997).
The residents of the city may vote to exceed the stated maximum amount (ß 36516, subd. (b); 84 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen., supra, at p. 17), and the city council may by ordinance increase the level of compensation beyond the amount set in the statute for a city of its size, but not by more than 5 percent per year (ß 36516, subd. (c); 84 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen., supra, at p. 17; 80 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen, supra, at p. 123).
Section 36516.5 additionally provides:
ìA change in compensation does not apply to a councilman during his term of office; however, the prohibition herein expressed shall not prevent the adjustment of the compensation of all members of a council serving staggered terms whenever one or more members of such council becomes eligible for a salary increase by virtue of his beginning a new term of office.î Accordingly, the actual adjustment of a city council memberís compensation may only occur when one of the council members commences a new term. (See 80 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen., supra, at p.123; 54 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 112, 114 (1971).) In the typical situation, where city council members serve staggered four-year terms, salary increases may take place no more often than every two years.
4 06-504
In complying with the directive of section 36516, subdivision (c), is the 5 percent2
annual adjustment to be applied to the currently received salary adjustment? Or, as it has been suggested, may the 5 percent be applied to the currently received salary amount only for the first year, and then applied to the newly calculated amount for the second year, and continuing these separate calculations, for each intervening year? For example, if six years have passed since the last salary increase, is one calculation to be made or are six separate calculations to be made with the 5 percent applied to each intervening yearís calculated, but not received, increase?
In analyzing the terms of section 36516, we are guided by well-settled principles of statutory interpretation. ìOur role in construing a statute is to ascertain the Legislatureís intent so as to effectuate the purpose of the law. [Citation.]î (Hunt v. Superior Court (1999) 21Cal.4th 984, 1000.) ì ëIn determining intent, we look first to the words of the statute, giving the language its usual ordinary meaning.í î (Curle v. Superior Court (2001) 24 Cal.4th 1057, 1063.) ì[A] statute ë. . . is to be interpreted by the language in which it is written, and courts are no more at liberty to add provisions to what is therein declared in definite language than they are to disregard any of its express provisions.í [Citation.]î (Wells Fargo Bank v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1082, 1097.) ì ëA statute must be construed ìin the context of the entire statutory system of which it is a part. . .î í î (People v. Hull (1991) 1 Cal.4th 266, 272.) Other statutes that might bear upon the meaning of the statute at issue may be considered. (White v. County of Sacramento (1982) 31Cal.3d 676, 682; 78 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 92, 95 (1979); 67 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 325, 329 (1984).)
Applying these rules of construction, we find that subdivision (c) of section 36516 refers to calculations based solely upon ìthe salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted,î which is the same salary amount as that resulting from ìthe last adjustment of the salary.î We apply the words of the statute as written. Only the currently received salary amount is to be part of the calculations. To make separate calculations for each intervening year since the date of the last salary increase would base the calculations on salaries that were not received by the city council members. Nothing in the language of section 36516 suggests that the calculations are to be based upon salary amounts that were never received.
2 While the statute authorizes adjustments of less than 5 percent, we will assume that the ordinance in question specifies a 5 percent increase.
5 06-504
A somewhat analogous situation involves the computing of interest on both the principal sum and accrued interest. In Robertson v. Dodson (1942) 54 Cal.App.2d 661, 665, the court observed that ìthe compounding of interest has never been looked upon with favor in this state.î This principle was reaffirmed in Westbrook v. Fairchild (1992) 7 Cal.App.4th 889, 893, where the court held that there was no constitutional or statutory authorization or equitable power to compound the award of post judgment interest.
We have examined in some detail the legislative history pertaining to subdivision (c) of section 36516. This statutory language was originally enacted in 1972 (Stats. 1972, ch. 591, ß 2) and has remained unchanged through subsequent legislative enactments (Stats. 1984, ch. 100, ß 2; Stats. 2005, ch. 178, ß 1). We find no basis in the legislative history to calculate a salary increase based upon annual salary amounts that were not previously received.
Finally, we note that when the Legislature has authorized the use of a compounding formula for calculating salary and benefit increases, it has done so in unmistakable language. For example, with respect to cost-of-living adjustments for retirees who are members of the Public Employees Retirement System (ßß 20000-21432), section 21329, subdivision (b), provides:
ìNo monthly allowance in any year may exceed an amount equal to the base allowance increased by 2 percent per year compounded for the number of years intervening between the end of the base year and the beginning of the calendar year in which the adjustment is made.î (Italics added.) Section 75523, subdivision (b), pertaining to the retirement allowance of retired judges, similarly provides:
ìNo adjustment shall be made unless the cost-of-living increase equals or exceeds 1 percent. The allowance shall not be increased by more than three 3 percent in a single year. Increases shall be compounded.î (Italics added.) The Legislature could easily have provided the same type of directive in section 36516 if it had so intended. (See Traverso v. People ex rel. Dept. of Transportation (1993) 6 Cal.4th 1152, 1166; State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Department of Motor Vehicles (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 1076, 1082; 73 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 13, 23 (1990).) We conclude that the 5 percent salary increase authorized for city council members of a general law city is to be applied to the currently received salary amount for the total number of years since the last salary adjustment. 6 06-504
2. Salary Increase for City Mayors
An elected mayor of a general law city is a member of the city council. (ß 34903; 80 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen., supra, at p.126; 57 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen.626, 628 (1974).) His or her salary as a member of the council is subject to the constraints of sections 36516 and 36516.5. (80 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen., supra, at p. 126 .) However, an elected mayor may receive additional compensation for performing the duties of a mayor. As previously quoted, section 36516.1 allows a mayor to receive additional compensation ìprovided by an ordinance adopted by the city council or by a majority vote of the electors voting on the proposition at a municipal election.î May the additional compensation be received during the mayorís current term of office? We conclude that it may.
In 80 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 119, supra, we determined that a mayorís additional compensation may not be reduced by the city council during his or her current term of office because of the ìcontract clausesî of the United States and California Constitutions (U.S.
Const., art. I, ß 10, cl. 1 [ìNo state shall . . . pass any . . . law impairing the obligation of contracts . . .î]; Cal. Const., art. I, ß 9 [ìA . . . law impairing the obligation of contracts may not be passedî]). (Id. at pp. 124-126.) We specifically did not rely upon the prohibition in section 36516.5 that ì[a] change in compensation does not apply to a councilman during his term of officeî in reaching our conclusion. We reasoned in part:
ìSection 36516.5ís prohibition is as follows: ëA change in compensation does not apply to a councilman during his term of office. . . .í Although a mayor is a member of the city council, he or she is not normally referred to as a ëcouncilman.í The additional salary authorized by section 36516.1 would seemingly not be received as a ëcouncilmaní; rather, the additional compensation would be granted for the performance of mayoral duties.î (Id. at p. 126.)
Here, we are concerned with an increase in a mayorís compensation; therefore, the constitutional considerations involving a mayorís contractual rights are not in question.
As for section 36516.5ís prohibition, it is inapplicable here, just as it was in our 1997 opinion and for the same reasons. The additional compensation for performing mayoral duties is not received as ìa councilman.î
7 06-504
We are left, then, with a statute that precludes additional compensation for city council members during their current terms of office, but no similar statute prohibiting additional compensation for city mayors during their current terms of office. Consistent with our analysis in answer to the first question, we find that if the Legislature had intended to restrict increases for mayors under the terms of section 36516.5, it could easily have so provided. It did not; we will not add such language to this statute in the guise of statutory construction.
We conclude that the additional compensation authorized for a mayor of a general law city may be increased during his or her term of office as mayor. *****
