Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
The City Council appointed the Presiding Magistrate and Magistrate to a new term beginning on August 1, 2015 during the City Council meeting on July 7, 2015, but there has not been a public meeting related to the compensation.
Options and Alternatives:
1) The City Council may choose to maintain the compensation at the current level. This option would keep the City's budget in relation to these employee's salaries constant over the next two years. The City Magistrates would continue to be below the average market rate at the same rate or further if the market continues to grow.
2) The City Council may choose to maintain the compensation at the current level and include any other increase provided to other management employees during the two year term from August 1, 2015 through July 31, 2017. This option would provide the same increase to the Magistrates that other management employees receive. The City Magistrates may continue to lag further if the market continues to grow.
