DISCUSSION
The City Attorney undergoes an annual performance evaluation and salary adjustment, with the last evaluation occurring in July 2017. The Mayor will appoint three Councilmembers to form an ad hoc advisory committee to review the City Attorney’s performance and compensation. The Mayor announces that Vice Mayor Klein, Councilmember Melton and Mayor Hendricks will be the newly formed ad hoc advisory committee to review the total compensation and any recommendation for adjustment to the full Council for the City Attorney. 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 recommendations to the full Council and the Council’s action on the Committee’s recommendation, the term of the ad hoc committee will expire.

Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City's official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall, at the Sunnyvale Senior Center, Community Center and Department of Public Safety; and by making the agenda and report available at the Sunnyvale Public Library, the Office of the City Clerk and on the City's website.
