2 | Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-29: An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Flagstaff, amending section 1-07-001-0005, Salaries, of the Flagstaff City Code, and establishing an effective date. | ||||||||||
Mayor Deasy stated that he would like to add a subsection to the salaries ordinance that would require a weekly update of Council activities be posted online. Doing so would allow the public to see the things that Council was involved in and hold them accountable to the role of the office. The Mayor and Council salary is tied to the expectation of the full-time workload and it should be quantified to the public. Councilmember Shimoni stated that he was open to the suggestion but that it should be a future conversation. Councilmember Aslan agreed and offered that there was already a mechanism in place with the weekly To/From section of the agenda. He felt that it could be better discussed as part of the Council Rules of Procedure. A written comment in support of the ordinance was submitted by Moses Milazzo. |
