CITY ATTORNEY DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO : City Council THRU: Lioneld Jordan, Mayor FROM : Kit Williams, City Atto/ney4-,t� DATE: January 2, 2009 RE : Rollback of Mayor and City Attorney' s salary to 2008 levels Mayor Lioneld Jordan has requested that I prepare an ordinance that rolls back the mayor' s salary to its 2008 level (negating the annual increase effective January I " of each year). Mayor Jordan has also requested that his compensation be reduced by an additional $5 ,000.00 by repealing §31 . 17 Mayor's Compensation, subsection D, the "annual automobile allowance of $5 ,000.00 . . . ." Because of what appears to be the nation ' s continuing severe economic problems, I share Mayor Jordan ' s concerns that the City of Fayetteville will not be immune from what could be a substantial and long term recession. Therefore, I have also agreed to roll back my salary to its 2008 level (negating the normal January IS` percentage increase based upon the average salary increase of all non- uniformed employees). Mayor Jordan will present these ordinances for your review during the first City Council Agenda Meeting in January and will ask that they be approved by the City Council during the following City Council meeting. Mayor Jordan will also present an ordinance which would freeze any elected official ' s salary once it exceeds $80,000 .00 until the economy recovers and city revenues rebound sufficiently to ensure that all city employees can continue to receive normal merit or step raises pursuant to the City Council approved pay plan. I also join Mayor Jordan ' s request on this issue. ORDINANCE NO.
