Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, March 11,2 2015 Page 8of12    With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Traci Goularte, Residential Coordinator, provided an overview of the staff report and recommended action. The City had maintained an agreement since 2004, and extended the agreement in 2011 for another seven years to 2018. The first amendment added new service locations, but proposed no other changes in terms. This second amendment had a primary purpose to redefine diversion regarding specific calculations of the diversion rate and types of materials included in the calculation. The amendment would give residents the option to have a third recyclable or green waste bin at no additional charge (providing that residents could have up to seven carts at a single property), add language of providing compost to the Elk Grove Community Garden, it would permit Christmas trees to be dropped off at the collection center in addition to the free service of curb side drop off, and the amendment would eliminate additional contractor compensation language, still requiring a diversion goal of 40% and still liable for a penalty if the contractor did not meet the Inr reply to Vice Mayor Hume, Public Works Director Richard Shepard noted the penalty remained to ensure compliance on the diversion rate, but the bonus was being eliminated because the contract definitional changes made it much easier to reach the 40%odiversion goal rate, and was an item the contractor supported.

RECOMMENDATION:  Introduce and waive the full reading, by substitution of title only, an ordinance amending Elk Grove Municipal Code Section 2.04.010 relating to Councimembers salaries. City Attorney Jonathan Hobbs provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. In 2012, the City Council increased salaries from $600 a month to $800 a month per member based on the City population exceeding 150,000. A council could increase salaries by 5% per year as simple interest, since it had been two years since the last salary increase the City Council could increase salaries by 10%, up to $880 per month. No salary increase would be effective until the start of the next council  term which would be December 2016.  PUBLIC COMMENT: None.  Council Member Detrick stated that as a general law city, there were restrictions on the procedural method to implement modest pay increases for elected officials, and even then the changes did not go into effect until the next election cycle. He believed approval of the salary increase placed the council members in line with the same  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, March 11,2015 Page 10of12    program as City employees who were eligible to receive a 5% annual increase in compensation. He noted the 5% increase over the two year period equated to a small  amount, an $80 per month increase.  Council Member Ly did not support the pay increase.  Council Member Suen recognized the efforts and commitment of standing members of the City Council, and believed the current positive budget and financial outlook would Vice Mayor Hume noted he did support the salary increase related to the population trigger as an indicator based to the workload of the job.
