Mayor's Salary One of the Council goals from their retreat was to look at the mayor's salary, and the administration had responded by drafting an ordinance to give a slight increase to the salary for one year. John said the Mayor was comfortable with receiving annual 90% of the cost of living (COLA) increases similar to those given non represented employees. He said Steve has been busy going to meetings both day and night for four or five nights a week. Jim said he wanted to separate the person from the office. He said he didn't want the salary to attract people to run just for the money. With the recently passed utility tax, he said people want the utility tax to be used for basic government services, not for increases in elected officials' salaries. Jim had looked up the ordinance governing the current mayor's salary, and it runs through 2004, giving a small increase in that year. He did not want an increase in the current salary. Pam said a COLA increase should not be an issue. She said the job has grown over the past years, and now deserves a higher pay. John likened the position to that of the CEO of a $38 million corporation. He agreed he did not want the salary to attract candidates who were not qualified for the office. Of the three other cities with strong mayors, all were getting COLAs after 2003, and all had much larger salaries. Pam said she wanted to do something with future salaries before the filing period this summer. Joe said in light of the bad economy and with so many unemployed people he thought the mayor shouldn't get an increase. Pam favored the draft ordinance, which raised the salary from $78,000 to $80,000 in 2004, with COLAs in years after. Jim did not support any increase in the salary. They agreed that three options could be given to the COW: no increase; the `old" ordinance with an increase and a floor /ceiling; or an increase, and then COLA's. Refer issue to COW with a split Committee decision. 2. Increase in Change Fund Currently the pool and community center share a "bank" of change money. Because the fund is small, it involves many extra trips to the bank. Alan recommended increasing their change funds. If it is increased to $300, the pool can have $125 and the community center $175 in change. That should satisfy the needs of both facilities. Alan noted the change funds need to be updated regularly. Recommend resolution to Regular Meeting. 3. Electronic Sign Moratorium At the last meeting of Community and Parks, DCD had raised the issue of using a moratorium to get time to address the changing technology of the sign business. One business has bought an expensive sign that is capable of the flashing and moving signs that annoy people on I -5 near Fife, though this sign is smaller than that billboard. The current City language in the sign code has not stopped businesses for wanting signs that flash and dance with changing scenes every few minutes. Sign companies all want to sell the more expensive flashy signs. A moratorium will give the staff time to research various approaches to regulating the newest kinds of signs. Recommend moratorium ordinance to that eveninn's Regular Meeting.
