Each member of the planning commission shall receive compensation at the rate of fifty
dollars ($50.00) for each meeting of the planning commission attended by such member,
not to exceed a total compensation of one hundred dollars ($100.00) in any one (1)
month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the city council specifically
authorizes the planning commission to hold one (1) or more meetings in addition to
its regularly scheduled meetings, each member of the planning commission shall receive
fifty dollars ($50.00) for each such additional meeting attended by such member provided
that the total compensation received by a planning commissioner in any one (1) month
does not exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00). Such compensation shall be paid quarterly
on the first payroll payment date following the end of the quarter. The director of
planning and community development shall submit to the city manager at the end of
each quarter a statement showing the number of meetings of the planning commission
attended by each member during such quarter. No additional compensation shall be paid
for expenses incurred by members of the commission in the performance of their duties,
except as authorized in advance by the city council. The city council may from time
to time authorize, in advance, expenditures for attendance at seminars, institutes,
or other meetings which the city council finds to be beneficial to the commissioners
in the performance of their duties and in the best interests of the city. Claims for
such expenses shall be filed with the city manager on such forms as may be prescribed
and shall be subject to audit and approval by the city council.
Any future changes to the compensation amount may be made by resolution and adopted
by the city council.
