(a) City Attorney's Impartial Analysis
(b) Argument in Support of Measures
(c) Report to the City Council
The report to the City Council was distributed to the members for
review. Discussion ensued regarding benefits for Councilmembers
and Mayor. It was noted Mayor receives the same benefits as the
City Manager and Council's benefits approximate two-thirds of
Mayor's benefits. Member Blakely questioned how the employee
benefit package is determined and Attorney Kaheny explained each
year benefits are negotiated. It was the consensus to remove the
phrase dealing with the Mayor's benefits from the City Attorney's
Impartial Analysis. The Arguments in Support of Measures were
approved by the Commission.
Attorney Hull stated Glen Googins contacted the City of San Diego
regarding their design -build measure to determine if, based upon
their experience, any minor modifications should be made to our
language. No changes need to be made.
MSUC (Potter/Campbell) to recommend that the Impartial Analysis as
modified be forwarded to the City Council.
