Shall so much of Article III of the City of San Ramon Charter which currently reads as "Compensation for the elected Mayor of San Ramon shall be one hundred dollars per month more than a City Councilmember" be amended to read "Compensation for the elected Mayor of San Ramon shall be determined by resolution of the City Council."

Impartial Analysis from the City Attorney
The City of San Ramon Charter provides that the Mayor's compensation shall be one hundred dollars more than a Councilmember. The proposed Charter amendment would allow the City Council to determine the compensation for the Mayor.

Arguments For Measure P Arguments Against Measure P
The City Council urges the adoption of this amendment to the City Charter allowing the City Council to determine the salary of the Mayor. As the City continues its growth, the responsibilities of the Mayor will also continue to grow exponentially and require a greater time commitment. The Mayor must make time to meet with other elected and appointed public officials from federal, state, county and local agencies. The City Council is best qualified to evaluate the value of such services to the City and provide for the proper compensation of the person holding such an important office.

David Hudson, Councilmember
