§ 2.05.210. Compensation of the mayor and members of the city council.

A.

Commencing on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section the stipend paid to members of the city council shall be $1,000 per calendar month. The monthly stipend paid to the mayor shall be $1,500 per calendar month. The compensation specified in this section shall not be reduced for non-attendance at meetings of the city council, but this provision shall not be construed to prohibit the city council from imposing sanctions upon any member thereof for non-attendance as provided in the City Charter. Except for the health and welfare benefits and allowances provided in this code, the stipend specified in this section shall be the exclusive compensation payable to the mayor and members of the city council by the city of Pasadena or by any agencies and instrumentalities of the city of Pasadena; however, nothing herein shall be construed to limit the amount of compensation payable to the mayor or members of the city council for services provided to other public agencies which are not instrumentalities of the city of Pasadena under the rules and regulations of those agencies.

B.

Beginning on July 1, 2000 and until the city council shall empanel a committee on city councilmembers' compensation as provided in Section 405 of the City Charter, the stipend established in this section shall increase annually on each July 1st by the same percentage as the increase for the 12-month period beginning December 1st and ending November 30th in the consumer price index for all urban consumers in the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside area (CPI). However, no annual increase in the stipend of the mayor or the members of the city council shall exceed 5 percent for any fiscal year regardless of any higher increase in the CPI. Should the CPI decrease in the applicable 12-month period, the stipend shall remain unchanged.

C.

Section 2.10.050 of the Pasadena Municipal Code relating to compensation of members of the community development commission is repealed.
