Vote was unanimous. RESOLUTION NO. 3935 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON AMEND- ING THE PAY AND CLASSIFICATION PLAN. CORRESPONDENCE: City Treasurer City Treasurer, Margaret Berkebile, read the following statement: My name is Margaret Berkebile and I am the City Treasurer of Colton. For the last 7 years I have held the office of City Treasurer with no increase in salary, be- lieving it was the voters decision on whether or not I received any increase. This year however, I requested additional salary due to the added work the 4 assessment districts in the Cooley Ranch area have put into my office. I have no office help or assistants and the work load has more than doubled. Eventho an ordinance adopted in 1952 set the salaries of the City Treasurer and City Clerk, this has not been followed since 1955 and the salary actually paid was authorized by approval of the budget each year. My request was clearly written into my budget, which was turned in in March. Section #36517 of the Government Code allows a city to give added compensation by ordinance or resolution. My budget, including the increased salary request, was approved without question when the entire budget was passed under Resolution No. 3929 on August 21st. However, the City Attorney called me to his office last Thursday and said it was felt a new resolution should be made allowing the City Council to set the salary of the City Treasurer and the City Clerk each year. Since additional salaries have been paid to the City Treasurer and City Clerk, above what the original ordinance stated since 1955, why do you now feel that a new resolution separate from the city budget should be made. If a new resolution is required, why was I not informed during the budget re- view sessions? Why was I not consulted about the search of records being done before it was done? If a new resolution takes a couple of months to become effective, as the City Attorney advised me on Friday, what is the status of my salary during this period. Most importantly, who authorized Jerry Young to search the City Clerk's files for anything pertaining to my salary, and who requested the City Attorney to make a new resolution? OCT 1979
