Stock City Manager Christiansen stated, "T am recommending that the Treasurer's Salary 'of salary, which is presently $1.,800 per mond; be reduced to $1,400 per month." Treasurer mayor Martinez invited Mr. Reynolds to address the Council.. Mr. J. Michael Reynolds, 1309 East Calton Avenue, candidate for the elective position of City Treasurer, addressed Council with his concerns on re- ductions of the `T'reasurer's compensation. He pointed out that the Last Treasurer was compensated at $2,148 per month; that when the appointed in- cumbent took office, the decision was made to lower that from $2,148 to a total compensation of $1,800. Mr. Reynolds said, "At the time a reason was given because there was little` or no activity left in the Redevelopment Agency, hence it was lowered that i $348 per month. I believe that in the Personnel Office there is a break- down of how the Treasurer's salary is apportioned by items and, if my infor mation is correct, $150 per month was what was apportioned for the Redeve]- = opment Agency, so, grant that, so far, that is the only reason that. has t^�'"' been giver.; that knocks it down from $2,148 to $1,998, and I am wondering: where the rest of the $9,000 decrease that is being recommended to you is coming from -- that is $9,000 less than the last City Treasurer was paid, and I don't see any, possibly a few clerical functions of the office have been taken away, but as far as the real effectiveness, as far as what: is really important to the City, I do not see $9,000 having been taken away from that office. 2-5-80 CITY MANAGER (Continued) Mayor Martinez responded, "Many hours of discussion and study have been given this and other things that Council is exploring, and in r x- our personnel sessions we are looking to many avenues and trying to streamline and do things within the City Government to try to meet out budget within our means. In the past, we have asked department heads to take on more work and to share different personnel within our City staff and this is what we are proposing at this time. we feel that by doing this, we can do this job." Salary of Mr. Reynolds replied that this was the first time he had heard that Treasurer explanation. "When I took out my papers and when I filed, the job was still at $1,800. Am I right still, that of the staff in the Trea- surer's office, now that is being proposed, right now that the Treasurer be lowered to $1,400, am I right that there are two members of the Treasurer's staff whose salary range is in excess of $1,404?" Mr. Christiansen, "I believe both the Chief Deputy and the Business License Inspector." Mayor Martinez, "if that is the case, let me also say to you that in our personnel discussions we have talked about this kind of a sit- uation and sometimes this does happen but let me assure you Sir, that in the future we are going to take a good look at the kind of salary ranges we have in every department, and made the chances that we feel are necessary. And I can understand your question there because it is valid if that is the case. And again, we have to make some changes there." Mr. Reynolds, Okay, I would certainly want the Council to da that, I would want the. Council to make whatever change is necessary. P"-{ recommendation in the future is: please make them before the: filing deadline:, for these offices. The filing deadline is past for this office, of course. That is all, thank you."
