AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
SETTING COUNCIL SALARIES
BE IT ORDAINED that salaries for members of the City Council of Poway
are hereby established pursuant to the provisions of The California Govern-
ment Code in the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150) per month.
BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that the members of the City Council shall be
reimbursed for their reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in the
discharge of their duties as members of the City Council of Poway.
The City of Poway was incorporated on December 1, 1980, comprising
territory formerly unincorporated. The City Council has just organized,
and since there was no predecessor City Council, no law has been adopted
pursuant to the California Government Code setting salaries for Council
members. Since the California Constitution prohibits the payment, retro-
actively, of compensation for work already performed on behalf of a govern-
mental agency, this Ordinance must go into effect immediately in order to
provide Council salaries coterminus with the Council members' terms of
office.
It is necessary to provide for the government of the City, including
the services of City Council members, to protect and preserve the public
peace, health and safety, and therefore this Ordinance shall take effect
immediately.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Poway at a regular meeting thereof held this 1st day of December, 1980, by
