City Council

A. DISCUSSION OF AMENDING SECTION 2-1-2 OF THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION IN LIGHT OF SENATE BILL 329 The Governor signed Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”) in June which allows cities a one-time chance to “reset” city council salaries to take into account inflation, the work done by local government officials, and the need to ensure that people are not discouraged from seeking city office due to the low pay and high demands of that office. Presenter: City Attorney Recommendation: 1. Receive a report on the effects of Senate Bill 329 (Attachment “A”) on City Council salaries across the State; and 2. Give the City Attorney and City Manager direction regarding potential changes to the City Council’s salary through an ordinance aligning with Senate Bill 329.
