PAY FOR PERFORMANCE
Slide 5
PAY FOR PERFORMANCE
Pursuant to Mayor and Vice Mayor’s Rules Committee Memo, the following is being proposed for City Council consideration on June 10th:
Pursue a Pay for Performance model for City Council through ordinance as the City Charter already allows for the City Council to take a reduction in salary
Terms of Pay for Performance:
5% of the Mayor’s and all Councilmembers’ salaries to be withheld on an annual basis, and subsequently disburse the 5% back to the Mayor and Councilmembers in a manner proportional to the achievement of predetermined objective performance metrics related to the City Council Focus Area Scorecards and Dashboards.
City Manager and Council Appointees already have the ability under the Salary Resolution and MPP to increase or decrease salaries of Senior Staff and the MPP program already provides the pay for performance mechanism as established under Salary Resolution 58170.
Informational Memo already released outlining framework to provide transparency into their evaluation and pay for performance process Slide 6
