ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2353. A resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, reducing the City Council Members' pay by fifty percent and amending the City of San Luis Personnel Policies to remove City Council Members from dental and vision care coverage paid by the city; establishing an effective date; repealing any conflicting provisions; and providing for severability. (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)
SUMMARY:
This item proposes to reduce the City Council Members' pay by fifty percent (50%) and remove the City Council Members' dental and vision care benefits paid by the city.
Under Arizona Constitution Article 4, Part 2, Section 17, these changes will not take place until those elected to City Council in the 2026 election take their oaths of office. (The Constitutional section is attached). This constitutional provision, as applied to City Councils, is intended to ensure that all City Council Members "doing, in substance, the same work, should at all times receive the same salaries." (See the penultimate paragraph in Arizona Attorney General Opinion No.I 90-135 dated October 22, 1990, attached).
