MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
VIA: JOE HSU, ACTING CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
The City Council is in the process of selecting and entering into a contract with a new
City Administrator. In reviewing the City's existing rules and procedures regarding the City
Administrator position, we found that the Azusa Municipal Code provides that the City
Administrator shall receive the same vacation, sick leave, retirement and other employee benefits
that other employees are entitled to. We understand that it is the City Council's desire to negotiate
a contract with its new City Administrator without the tie in to the existing employee benefits.
The proposed ordinance will amend section 2-88 of the Azusa Municipal Code by
providing that the City Administrator's compensation and benefits shall be set by the City Council
by resolution or in a negotiated contract. The ordinance will also require that the city administrator's
contract be approved by resolution of the city council. Finally,the ordinance provides that the City
Administrator's compensation and benefits shall not be tied to automatic amendments or increases
which apply to other city employees that negotiate memoranda of understanding, unless such
automatic amendments or increases are expressly provided for in the City Administrator's contract.
The City Council is asked to introduce the proposed ordinance and waive further
reading. If the Council takes such action, the ordinance will be presented for adoption at the
regularly scheduled city council meeting on June 15, 1998.
