Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1020 - Amending Municipal Code Section 2.04.010 and Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-61 Related to Council Salaries as Authorized by Senate Bill 329 On September 26, 2023, the City Council introduced for first reading Ordinance No. 1020 - amending Municipal Code Section 2.04.010 related to Council salaries as authorized by Senate Bill 329. On June 29, 2023, Governor Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 329 (SB 329), which raises the maximum salary that council members may receive. This Bill aimed to increase the compensation schedule for council members in cities governed by general law, which had not been updated since 1984. SB 329 allows cities to increase the compensation to adjust for inflation in order to help keep city councils more diverse by allowing people from across different income levels to serve the public and support their families.
Recommendation:
That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve the second reading, by title only, and adopt Ordinance No. 1020, entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.04.010 RELATED TO COUNCIL SALARIES AS AUTHORIZED BY SENATE BILL 329; and
