VIII. RESOLUTIONS
A. RESOLUTION NO. 76-84 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING
SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FOR 1976-77 FISCAL PERIOD.
(Continued from the meeting of June 24, 1976.)
Mr. Hurlburt outlined the resolution and the step adjustments
and reclassifications it included. He further stated that
the resolution provided for an overall 5% cost of living
factor.
Councilman Seidler questioned why the salaries for the
personnel serving in the Redevelopment Agency were to
be included in the City budget. After discussion, it
was pointed out that it provided for a simpler book-
keeping method. Councilman Seidler also asked whether
or not it would be simpler and more economical for the
City to purchase cars rather than pay in excess of $1,000
per month for car allowances. He proposed that possibly
2 City cars to be used by all personnel might be more
economical. Staff was so directed to make a survey of
this.
