RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. NS-726 amending section 2.08.030 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code to adjust the compensation of the City Clerk .
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Government Code section 36517 provides that the City Clerk shall receive a
compensation fixed by ordinance or resolution.
The City Council adjusted the City Clerk’s Compensation in the years of 1968, 1973,
1980, 1983, 1985, 1989, 1997, 2001 and 2003. The City Clerk‘s current
compensation is $880 per month. The last compensation adjustment became effective
January 1, 2003. This amendment would adjust the City Clerk’s compensation five
percent per year for a total of ten percent since the last adjustment effective January
I, 2005. This is the same manner in which state law deals with the compensation for
elected city council members under Government Code section 36516. The proposed
ordinance adjusts the City Clerks compensation from $880 per month to $970 per
month.
The salary adjustment would become effective on January 1, 2005.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact resulting from this action will be an increase in compensation of the
City Clerk of $90 per month for a total annual fiscal impact of $1,080.
