Sec. 402. — Compensation of Members. <br />Each member of the City Council and the Mayor shall receive as a monthly salary for <br />his or her services, the maximum amount allowed by the population formula set forth in <br />California Government Code Section 36516 as of November 8, 2016. No increase in <br />the monthly salary shall occur without first being approved by the voters pursuant to a <br />Charter amendment. Further, each member of the City Council and Mayor shall receive <br />reimbursement for required travel and other expenses while on official business of the <br />City as authorized and approved by Resolution of the City Council. In accordance with <br />Section 36516 any amounts paid by City for retirement, health and welfare benefits shall <br />not be included for purposes of determining salary under this section, provided that the <br />same benefits are available and paid by the City for its executive employees. Any <br />amounts paid by the City to reimburse for actual and necessary expenses pursuant to a <br />Council Resolution shall not be included for purposes of determining salary. Any <br />member of the Council may waive any or all of the compensation permitted by this <br />section. <br />Absence of the Mayor or a member of the City Council from all regular and special <br />meetings of the City Council during any calendar month shall render him or her <br />ineligible to receive the monthly salary for such a calendar month, unless such absence <br />was approved by the City Council as expressed in its official minutes. <br />
