A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH JOINING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA
CITIES OPPOSING THE "CALIFORNIA FAIR PAY"
INITIATIVE
WHEREAS, THE "California Fair Pay" Initiative shall appear on
the November 1986 ballot; and
This initiative would limit compensation of state and local
officials to no more than 80 percent of the Governor ' s salary, and;
The initiative severely damages California' s competitive
position in retaining and attracting top talent to public service
positions, and;
The arbitrary limits set by the initiative are in conflict
with the marketplace in which California must compete for
technical and managerial skills, and;
The initiative destroys rational salary setting due to the
arbitrary limits it establishes and the compaction problems it
creates with respect to salary structures, and;
The management of California' s public business could suffer
serious, perhaps irreparable damage as a result of the loss of
competent managers that the initiative would cause, and;
The concept of establishing the Governor ' s salary as a single
salary standard and top public salary in the state is
inappropriate and unworkable, and;
This initiative would prohibit all public employees from
accumulating sick leave and vacation time from one year to the
next, and;
I
1 .
The "California Fair Pay" Initiative could actually result in
higher , not lower , pensions for some already highly-compensated
former public officials.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Huntington
Beach hereby joins the League of California Cities opposing the
"California Fair Pay" Initiative.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 4th
day of August , 1986.
