A. ORDINANCE NO. 724 AMENDING TITLE III: ADMINISTRATION, CHAPTER
30 CITY COUNCIL, SECTION 30.02 COMPENSATION OF THE SAN GABRIEL
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADJUST THE COMPENSATION OF CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 329 – INTRODUCTION AND FIRST
READING
Senate Bill 329 changed the salary cap for city council members to help account
for the 300% increase in the cost of living since the last update in 1984. In order
to account for inflation and facilitate more diverse city councils, options for
increasing Council Member compensation are presented for City Council
consideration. San Gabriel City Council Member compensation was last
adjusted in 2009 to $893.70 monthly, pursuant to Ordinance No. 573-C.S. City
Council compensation is proposed to increase from $893.70 per month, per
member, to either a maximum of $1,275 (Option 1) or $1,608.66 (Option 2A).
Under Option 1, the impact to the General Fund would be an additional $381.30
per month ($4,575.60 annually) per Council Member, or $22,878 total each year
for all five members. Under Option 2A, the increase would be $714.96 per
month ($8,579.52 annually) per Council Member, or $42,897.60 total annually
for all five members. There would be no fiscal impact in the current fiscal year;
funds for the increased compensation would be included in the Fiscal Year
2026–27 Budget.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
