Subject: RE: Sec. 11 - Old Charter/Salary Reso
Hi Patrick and Lili,
At the end of the section 11 that I previously attached is the history for this section prior
to 1987. I circled the reference to Ord. 87-2550, Sec. 1, because in that Ordinance the
current salaries of $6,000 and $10,000 were already in existence—thus my note:
"existing salaries 6/10." As I noted below in the highlighted language, Ord. No. 87-2550
contains the current numbers.
Thus, the change in salary to the current numbers occurred during the '66 or '77
elections as I noted in the highlighted language below. As noted on page 2 of the
attachment, those elections occurred on 5-24-66, 11-8-66, and 11-1-77. Please provide
the Election result resolutions for the Election that had a ballot question that passed
implementing the current salaries of $6,000 and $10,000.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call. / / 7 7
Thank you, e0

The ordinance you circled is the same ordinance that I provided to you last week via email. There was nothing else
attached referencing records to the 60's.
