FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Douglas Holland, City Attorney SUMMARY The Council will consider a resolution establishing compensation for governing boards of the City's Community Redevelopment Agency, Financing Authority, and Housing Authority. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. _, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BOARDS OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS FINANCING AUTHORITY, AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS." ;iTAFF ANALYSIS: In 2005, the California law was amended by the passage of AB 11 to establish certain limitations on the ability of City Council to establish the compensation for boards and commissions that the city council creates and appoints itself to serve as the governing board of such entities. The City Council has established a redevelopment agency, a housing authority, and a financing authority and is therefore eligible to receive compensation for its members serving on the governing board for each of these entities. Pursuant to state law, the maximum amount that can be paid to a member of a redevelopment agency or a housing authority is $75.00 for each meeting, up to two meeting a month. For any other entity, which would include the City's Financing City Council Staff Report May 3, 2006 -- Page 2 Compensation Authority, the maximum compensation amount is $150.00 per month. The proposed resolution fixes the amount of the compensation at the amounts permitted under State law. FISCAL IMPACT: IFinance Director Review: The City Council currently receives a $30 stipend for each meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency. The City Council does not receive a stipend for the Finance and Housing Authority at this time. The proposed resolution will increase the Council's stipend for each Agency meeting by $45.00. In addition, the Council will receive a stipend of $75.00 for each Housing Authority meeting, with a maximum cap of$150.00 per month, and a $150.00 per month stipend for the Finance Authority. According to an analysis performed by the City Clerk, over the last two years the Agency had, on average, 17 meetings a year. The Housing Authority did not meet at all in 2005. Based on this information, the estimated cost to the Agency for both the Agency and Housing Authority meetings will cost approximately $6,375 per year. This is an increase of about $4,000 a year over what the Agency is currently paying. The cost to the General Fund for the Finance Authority stipend will be $9,000 a year.
