City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 14, 2017 <br />Page 8 of 8 <br />Councilmember Loo proposed either doubling the current pay or using staff's <br />recommendation. <br />Mayor Muckle recommended it take effect in 2019 as it would benefit all <br />Councilmembers at the same time <br />Councilmember Leh stated a larger salary might encourage some more people to run <br />for Council. He noted reconsidering requiring full payment for benefits might be more <br />important for some people than the salary number and is worth considering. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated the current pay is exclusionary and doesn't give us <br />diversity on Council. Someone might need some income just to offset cost for items <br />such as daycare to attend meetings. Without it you get retired people, those who don't <br />have to work, or those with scalable jobs. We should pay enough to encourage people <br />to run for office He doesn't support putting the raise off until 2019. He would like <br />Louisville to be somewhere around the median pay on the list. Just increasing the <br />benefits doesn't give enough advantage. <br />Members directed staff to bring back an ordinance using staff's suggested numbers in <br />Option 2, $800/month for Council and $1200/month for the mayor, to take effect for new <br />members in November of 2017; and the option to use the 457 plan for retirement <br />savings. <br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORT AND ADVANCED AGENDA <br />City Manager Fleming updated on his meeting with the Coyote Run neighbors. They <br />told him they are concerned about the slide area for safety and how it affects their <br />property values. Staff agreed to explore the cost of updating the survey of the slide and <br />more geotechnical analysis. This will come to Council for consideration. <br />ADJOURN <br />Members adjourned the meeting at 10:04 pm. <br />Meredyth uth, City Cle <br />Robert P. Muckle,Mayor <br />
