MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL of -/-AVO
AGENDA REPORT ACTION:_yj j&j -,
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Administrative Services Director/City Clerk96T_
DATE: June 24, 2009 (CC Meeting of 7/1/09)
SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance Amending Section 2.04.055, Compensation and
Benefits, of Chapter 2.04 City Council, of the Moorpark Municipal Code
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In January 2006, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 333, which amended the
compensation and benefits for City Councilmembers to be effective January 2007. Ordinance
No. 333 included language that all sitting councilmembers shall be entitled to the same
California Public Employees Retirement System (CaIPERS) benefits afforded the City's
competitive service employees.
Staff is recommending a change to the language in Section 2.04.055 to permit a
Councilmember who is not eligible to receive a CaIPERS retirement contribution to instead
receive the same retirement benefit afforded the City's temporary part-time employees. As an
example, a Councilmember who is already receiving a full-time employee CaIPERS retirement
contribution from another agency would not be eligible to also receive a CaIPERS retirement
contribution from the City of Moorpark.
Staff is also proposing minor edits to Section 2.04.055 to delete outdated references to 2005,
2006, and 2007. A draft ordinance is attached which shows the proposed revisions using
legislative format. The final ordinance would have the legislative format removed.
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the attached draft ordinance, concurs with the
proposed amendments, and has given the opinion that this ordinance does not revise City
Council compensation and may be effective 30 days following adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinance is intended to provide benefit clarification and delete outdated
references to 2005, 2006, and 2007, and would not result in a fiscal impact.
