WHEREAS, the size of the City of Santa Aha has considerably
increased and the problems confronting the City Government have
become more numerous and more complex with each passing month, so
that the de~ands upon the time of the members of the City Council
and the requirements of attendance at meetings of va=bus sorts have
nearly doubled in the past two years, requiring expenditures for
transportation and for other things which must be paid by the
Council members from their own funds so that the existing salary of

any c~pensation for the services now rendered by Councilmen;

own motion hereby authorizes and directs that a propo~ion be sub-
mitted to the electors of the City proposing amendment of Section 402
of the Charter of the city of Santa Aha to provide a monthly compen-
sation of each member of the City Council of $250.00 and the member
elected by the City Council as Mayor to receive an additional amount
of $50.00 each month, and that said section be amended so that the
same will read as follows:
"SECTION 402. CITY COUNCIL: COMPENSATION OF MEMBERS.
Each member of the City Council shall receive as compensa-
tion for his services as such a monthly salary in the sum of
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00). The member elected
by the City Council to fill the office of Mayor shall receive
the additional amount of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each month
said member shall fill the office of Mayor. Further, each
member of the City Council shall receive reimbursement for
required travel and other expenses while on official business
of the city as authorized and approved by the City Council.
Absence of a member of the City Council from all regular
and special meetings of the City Council during any calendar
month shall render him ineligible to receive the monthly
salary for such a calendar month unless by permission of the
City Council expressed in its official minutes."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the proposition to be placed
upon the ballot for submission to the Electors of the City be in the
words and figures as follows:
