REPORT TO SALARY SETTING COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Action on Delegating Authority to Approve the Meeting Minutes of March 31, 2021 to the Chair of the Salary Setting Commission
Report
BACKGROUND
Since it began its work in January 2021, the Salary Setting Commission (Commission) has held seven (7) meetings to set the compensation of the Mayor and Council members, Chief of Police and City Clerk pursuant to the City Charter Section 702 and applicable City Code sections. As of the March 31, 2021, meeting the Commission will have completed its business and will reconvene in January 2023.
DISCUSSION
The Commission is expected to complete its business on March 31, 2021, and is not expected to have additional meetings until January 2023. Generally, following a meeting, staff prepares meeting minutes and presents the minutes to the Commission for approval at the next meeting. With March 31, 2021, being the final meeting for the current period, the Commission will not be able to approve the final meeting minutes during its last meeting.
Staff recommends delegating the Commission’s authority to approve the meeting minutes of March 31, 2021, to the Chair of the Commission.
