PROPOSITION E An amendment to the Charter of the City of Chula Vista amending Article VI, Section 600, permitting the City Council to appoint nonresident experts to boards and commissions which are created by the Council and permitting Council-created boards and commissions to act upon a vote of a majority of the quorum as opposed to a majority of the entire membership. City Attorney' s Impartial Analysis The Charter presently establishes certain boards and commissions and allows the Council to create other boards and commissions by ordinance. The Charter is ambiguous on the question of whether the City Council may seek outside expertise to serve on its boards and commissions to advise it in specialized areas. It has always been the City' s practice to do so. For example, nonresident County health officers presently serve on the Hazardous Waste Committee. The proposed amendment would clarify the right of the City Council to appoint nonresident expertise to those boards and commissions which are created by the Council . This change would also allow the Council discretion to permit boards and commissions which it creates to act on the vote of a majority of the quorum as opposed to a majority of the entire membership. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E There is some ambiguity in the present Charter with regard to whether members of boards and commissions which are created by Council must be residents of the City. The general role of boards and commissions is to advise the City Council . Members serve as volunteers without compensation. They have no authority to direct the conduct of any department. A restriction against nonresidents causes problems when outside expertise is needed. A good illustration of this problem is the Ad Hoc Committee on Hazardous Waste which sought representatives from the State and County Health Department. The restriction also would cause problems with the Design Review Committee. The Design Review Committee is composed of architects, landscape architects, 'land planners and others with a demonstrated "sensitivity to good design". It is difficult to find qualified members to serve on this committee when the pool of candidates is limited to residents of Chula Vista. The proposed amendment would allow nonresidents to serve on boards and commissions created by ordinance of the City Council while continuing the restriction against nonresidents on commissions created by Charter. This proposition would also allow Council-created boards and commissions to act by an affirmative vote of a majority of those present rather than requiring a majority of the entire membership. Council would be able to set the voting requirement in the ordi- nance creating the board or commission. ARTICLE VI. APPOINTIVE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. Sec. 600. In General. There shall be the boards and commissions enumerated in this article which shall have the powers and duties set forth in this Charter. In addition, the City Council, may create by ordinance, such boards or commissions as, in its judgment, are required and may grant to them such powers and duties AO Ai0 g$ 0%Off f yb 4$$ $y$ $V0 a WO 0144 0i as are deemed necessary by the City Council for the accomplishment of their tasks. Such boards and commissions shall consult with and advise the Mayor, Council, or City Manager as may be provided herein or in the ordinances establishing such boards and commissions, but they shall have no authority to direct- the conduct of any department. • cr PROPOSITION r An amendment to the Charter of the City of Chula Vista amending Article V, Section 500, and Article VII, Section 701, ensuring Civil Service protection for present mid-management level positions. CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS: The present language of the Charter permits the City Council to remove management level positions from the Civil Service and place them in the Unclassified Service by a four-fifth's vote. Although the Council has by resolution stated that its intention is to limit this power to positions such as Assistant and Deputy Depart- ment Heads, Assistants to the City Manager and new management level positions, no such limitation appears in the Charter. The proposed change would place the limitations expressed in the City Council's resolution in the City Charter. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OP PROPOSITION • In the November, 1982 election, the voters authorized the City Council to place management level positions in the Unclassified Service by a four-fifth's vote. Civil Service protection does not apply to positions in the Unclassifed Service. This broad lan- guage went beyond the intent of the City Council and prior to the election, the Council passed a resolution more specifically defining its intent. The Council also told the employees' groups that it would attempt to amend the Charter to incorporate its later expressed intent. This proposition would insure that those mid-management level positions which presently are in the Civil Service system and are accorded Civil Service protection would not be placed in the Unclassified Service. The positions which still could be placed in the Unclassifed Service include assistant and deputy department heads, assistants to the City Manager, and new management level positions. The proposition would allow the City to have needed flexibility in employing persons in high level positions which influence City policy and at the same time keep good faith with those employees in existing mid-management positions. ARTICLE V. OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES. Sec. 500. Appointment and Removal of Officers and Department Heads. (a) Appointment. The City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the City Council and shall be in the Unclassified Service. In addition, there shall be in the Unclassified Service a private secretary for the City Manager, City Attorney and the Mayor and Council who shall be appointed by the respective officers for whom they serve. All other officers and department heads of the City and the Assistant City Manager shall be appointed by the City Manager subject to the approval of the City Council . The City Attorney shall also appoint Assistant or Deputy City Attorneys as may be authorized by the Council, subject to the approval of the Council, who shall be in the Unclassified Service. The City Clerk may also appoint Assistant or Deputy City Clerks as may be authorized by the Council subject to the approval of the Council who shall be in the Unclassified Service. It is further provided the City Council may, by ordinance, OVV040e XA4k O 00A4§1200 9V' 04,44§ 0At ],¢i emmsy ,1//Jmyy/, place Assistant and Deputy Department Heads, Assistants to the City Manager and new management level positions AM, Allee p d in the Unclassified Service AO AziweAd by a four-fifth's vote of the Council. ARTICLE VII. CIVIL SERVICE. Sec. 701 Unclassified and Classified Service The Civil Service of the City shall be divided into the Unclassified and the Classified Service. (a) Unclassified Service. The Unclassified Service shall include the following officers and positions: (1) All elective officers; (2) City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Director of Finance, City Clerk, City Attorney, Assistant or Deputy City Attorneys, a private secretary to the City Manager, a private secretary to the Mayor and Council, a private secretary to the City Attorney, department heads, or as provided in Section 500 of this Charter. (3) All members of boards and commissions; (4) Positions in any class or grade created for a special or temporary purpose and which may exist for a period of not more than ninety (90) days in any one calendar year; \1\‘' (5) Persons employed to render professional, scientific, technical or expert service of any occasional and exceptional character; (6) Part-time employees paid on an hourly or per diem basis; (7) Persons employed to fill positions which have been created for work and/or projects funded entirely or in part by grants made to the City or as provided and as designated by the City Council pursuant to Section 500 of this Charter; and (8) The City may place Assistant and Deputy Department Heads, Assistants to the City Manager and new management level positions in the Unclassifed Service by an ordinance adopted by a four-fifth' s vote. (b) Classified Service. The Classified Service shall comprise all positions not specifically included by this section in the Unclassified Service. ilowm4d, m4 ¢W, t ' y tlyg/¢ /A'gSokvymiy c 01, $A OMB W W rt 'YWA/NVYN C, PROPOSITION L� An amendment to the Charter of the City of Chula Vista amending Article III, Section 304, establishing the annual salary of the Mayor at $35,000. CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS: Under the present Charter, the Mayor's total compensation now amounts to $28,800 plus health insurance and fringe benefits. This figure is arrived at by adding the $24, 000 base salary which was approved by the voters in November of 1982, the yearly 5% increase since 1983, and the $300 per month to offset expenses which was approved by the City Council . The proposed Charter change would increase the Mayor's base salary to $35, 000 while eliminating the $300 per month expense allaaance. The Mayor would be entitled to recover his actual expenses and would retain the health insurance and fringe benefits. The 5% limitation on annual salary increases under state law continues in effect. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION Chula Vista is the second largest city in San Diego County. As the City has grown so has the complexity of the problems it faces. This might best be illustrated by the City's recent efforts in seeking approval of the Chula Vista Bayfront Development Plan. The years devoted to this effort are a good example of the amount of time that the Mayor of any modern city must spend in dealing with state and federal government on the one side and the private sector on the other. Currently, the Mayor spends abouts 50-55 hours per week on the job. Chula Vista has been fortunate to have been served by a dedicated Mayor and City Council, but we should not rely on such good fortune in the future. The Mayor and City Council oversee an operation with a budget of $26 million. Each year the challenges confronting them become more complex and time consuming. In order for Chula Vista to continue to attract high caliber people to the positions of Mayor and City Council, we must make • sure these people are adequately compensated for the hours they work on our behalf. In the face of a mounting workload, failure to adequately compensate our public servants will serve to limit the number of experienced and qualified people who can afford to devote their time and effort to serving Chula Vista. ARTICLE III. CITY COUNCIL. Sec. 304. Presiding Officer, Mayor. (c) Compensation. The Mayor shall received an annual salary of t4444 40Ar thirty-five thousand dollars C$UII In¢'/W)' ($35, 000.00) per year and shall receive reimbursement on order of th Council for Council-authorized travel and other expenses when on official duty for 01,41 cif the City, $M ifi a4AX#Xd0, s'e'c/,e sAA f f #X w '41114 ds (4S,O/.1Q4 p,4t ntesaX, wW/Vh aWypt /1 46 4400A X0 )g 760 9WW9W. 94' f OOt e571~44404. x$O C 'yY 4"9w9 /1 19467 MAP/prPXAO$, 01 rfiVAIOWI', / the/PA iW', yO e WY9 9f/ Y i PANP7/ /ORI/519' I7,y/ ,4 á/WW1, ,tAk At0gRiggt IdPAA df ' ISas 9')79 eakYe Lei IV 'e NeN/Or. The salary provided herein may be annually increased beyond said amount by an ordinance or amendment thereto enacted by the City Council in accordance with the limitations set by the Government Code of the State of California for the annual increase of compensation for Councilmembers. • • -011 ' 1ZC,J1S<q -1 • PROPOSITION H An amendment to the Charter of the City of Chula Vista amending Article III, Section 302 establishing the salary for a Councilmember at $12,000 per year, CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS: Under the Charter, the present salary of a Councilmember is $6, 552. Under state law, the City Council is authorized to increase their salary to $7, 200 per year effective January 1, 1985. Councilmembers also receive $50 per month to reimburse them for out of pocket expenses. The proposed change would raise the salary of a Councilmember to $12,000 and eliminate the $50 per month given to offset expenses. In its place, a Councilmember would be entitled to recover actual expenses as approved by the City Council. The 5% limitation on annual salary increases under state law continues in effect. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION H The $250 base for the Council's salary was originally established in 1968. Throughout over a decade of high inflation, Council was locked into the 5% annual increase limitation set forth in state- law. At the same time, the complexity of the problems confronting the City and the amount of time which Councilmembers must devote : • to dealing with these problems has increased tremendously. Councilmembers have had to devote many of their evenings and weekends and even take time away from their workdays in order- to - attend the many meetings which are necessary to oversee the operation of the second largest city in San Diego County. While the salary formula may have been adequate in 1972, it has not reflected the changes that have occurred since that time. Facing the challenge of how to maintain and improve Chula Vista's high level of services while at the same time planning for future development of the City in the face of recent tax limitations requires a great deal of dedication and self-sacrifice on the part of the City Council. Chula Vista has been fortunate to attract a high caliber of person to the City Council in the past, but in order to ensure that this continues in the future, we must attempt to provide some fair compensation for the performance we demand. In the face of a mounting workload, failure to adequately compensate Councilmembers will serve to limit the number of experienced and qualified people who can afford to devote their time and effort to serving Chula Vista. • ARTICLE III. CITY COUNCIL. Sec. 302. Compensation for Councilmembers. The four Councilmembers shall receive, as compensation for their services, the amount of twelve thousand dollars ($12, 000. 00) per year. avylpylid yte,t SA.Ate Jgw for ¢oi1 voy1 qr ' g4 l AAA MXid OX4xYlir 41J20, ak6,6444A.Ae wXXh tVe sciWatlIee ( bg t�1�r h $We XO7 BrV9f'5,444114, qte5,6 t)ie e0g¢V CEPt 9f We WM/WY otAXp XXsee Pr Qly'$' 'IW fqt/ 4,Cy6i s44iVt/ They shall receive reimburse- ment on order of the City Council for Council-authorized travel and other expenses when on official duty for a the City. ,AA AAAXXXW, tlaVh Q'g4Xi/914, fryjer 014Xl n6560XVe We a'vfn of f'i/W' dAXXiXs Air 1;04Vh wlY h Mt Ski/AU JOsi cifitiVO lz'd WIAMWAAFfiArit a or Oli 'ici 'i'49' aeA AX-Afi% aye cO%ja's Yrov j/ frA66 of fXce• /Me 4' cA415,644 mAt aUct PINVY M , '' 3/4 4A, ,4.6 fq .L A 13XYAMt ici CtQWg 4M h,t oX/ayi aXX944f¢e cif a /SI 4W,44A pkt nud)'i th Xc rf vrOVV$'e V4/Q tM M X X UY10i dOiXatiVe a1'd ei9b4646,4 xM4e Y{ n avid tvtrikm 44 VAXOXtig `' Chid' 4 ft 3 .A. • • 0116 PROPOSITION An amendment to the Charter of the City of Chula Vista amending Article III, Section 300 clarifying the term of office of City Council. CITY'S ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS Section 300 presently does not specifically state the term of office of a City Councilmember. This proposition will specify that the term is for four years. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION This is a housekeeping measure. The term of Councilmembers was inadvertently deleted the last time this section was amended. The proposition will merely clarify what has always been the law and that is that the term of office for a Councilmember is four years. ARTICLE III. CITY COUNCIL. Sec. 300. Members, Eligibility and Terms. There shall be a City Council of five members, consisting of • four Councilmembers and a Mayor, elected from the City at large at the times and in the manner provided in this Charter. No person shall be eligible to hold office as members of the City Council unless they are residents of the City of Chula Vista, and at the time of their election or appointment, qualified electors of the City or of territory annexed thereto. The term of each member of the City Council shall be for four years and shall commence on the first Tuesday following election and shall continue until a successor qualifies. Ties among candidates for any office shall be settled by the casting of lots. No person shall be eligible for nomination and election to the office of City Councilmember or Mayor for more than two (2) consecutive terms, and no person who has held a Council office for a period of two (2) consecutive terms or the office of Mayor for • two (2) consecutive terms, may again seek nomination and election to said offices of Council or Mayor respectively until a period of one (1) year from the termination of the second term for Council- member or Mayor has elapsed; provided, however, that any person who is appointed by the Council to fill the office of Council or Mayor or elected in a special election for the balance of a regular term of Mayor and/or Council for a period of two (2) years or less may seek nomination and election for two (2) full terms thereafter. ( Each Council seat shall be numbered one (1) through four (4) respectively. Persons seeking election to the City Council shall at the time of filing nomination papers, select one of said seats as the Council position for which they seek election. Persons running for a Council office shall designate one of the two numbered Council seats as memorialized by resolution of the Chula Vista City Council on file in the office of the City Clerk. Should a vacancy occur at any time in a Council seat or seats, if said vacancy is to be filed by a special election as provided in Section 303 of the Charter, candidates for said vacancy shall similarly designate the appropriate numbered seat on their nominating paper. Any person to be elected for any numbered Council seat 1 through 4 or the office of Mayor for which nomination papers have been filed shall be deemed elected upon receipt of the highest number of votes for the particular seat or the office of Mayor.
