Adopted Resolution No. 09 -290 amending compensation and other benefits for the City <br /> Attorney McGovern voted no <br /> Jim Dillon voiced opposition to the adoption of Item 8. He argued that the amount paid to a person <br /> in the past cannot be changed; while retroactive payments are common the actual past payment is <br /> never amended. <br /> Kay Ayala requested the item be continued until all five Councilmembers are present to vote. She <br /> felt that a current salary and future pension of $150,000 to $172,000 plus health benefits should be <br /> sufficient. <br /> Mayor Hosterman explained that Mr. Roush was due a raise some time ago and this action is <br /> simply the Council's belated attempts to address that. <br /> Councilmember McGovern stated that she will be voting no because she believes that all raises <br /> should be frozen until the State has regained financial stability. <br /> MOTION: It was m/s by Cook Kallio /Sullivan to approve the consent calendar as submitted and as <br /> noted.
