Report
BACKGROUND
The City Attorney undergoes an annual performance evaluation and salary adjustment overseen by an ad hoc advisory committee made up of members of the Council. The Mayor will appoint three councilmembers to the ad hoc committee to review and bring forth recommendations on the City Attorney's compensation.

Pursuant to Council Policy 7.4.13, ad hoc advisory committees are created and appointed by the Mayor with a fixed, limited assignment for a particular purpose, and no more than three councilmembers may serve on an ad hoc committee. The policy requires that any action to create or modify the committee must be placed as an item on the Council agenda.

EXISTING POLICY
Council Policy 7.4.13, Council Subcommittees and Council or Mayor-Created Advisory Task Forces

DISCUSSION
Mayor Klein announces that Mayor Larry Klein, Vice Mayor Linda Sell, and Councilmember Richard Mehlinger will form the ad hoc advisory committee. The ad hoc committee will make a recommendation to the full Council for consideration at a noticed, open Council meeting. Upon presentation of the Committee's findings and recommendation to the full Council and the Council's action on the Committee's recommendation, the term of the ad hoc committee will expire.
