CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16,1999 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City Manage> <br />FROM: Dennis Morris, Human Resource Director , <br />SUBJECT: Approve Increase Of Home Office And Car Allowance Expense For The <br />City Council <br />DATE: March 8,1999 <br />BACKGROUND: Survey data has shown increased travel and demands on City Council members. <br />There is a need for reevaluating the car allowance and home office expense amounts. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: There has been a substantial increase in travel by all City Council <br />members over the last year due to: <br />• Meetings with City Commissioners <br />• The addition of approximately 10-12 City Council workshops per year <br />• An increase in the number of town hall meetings <br />• Bi -weekly meetings with the City Manager <br />In total, these additional meetings amount to roughly an additional 20-30 meetings over the course <br />of the year. Based on the additional expense for travel by Council members more than justifies an <br />increase of $100 per month and is in line with survey data from other cities. <br />The home office expense amount also has not been increased in quite some time. Because of the <br />increased demands on the City Council and a more proactive approach by the City to serve the <br />needs of the citizens through more town hall meetings, more community involvement, more use of <br />their `B" mail at home, etc., there is also justification in increasing the home office expense <br />amount. <br />Item # I I <br />Agd031699 CC Car -Home allow <br />
