Ordinance No. 375 - Amending Ordinance 358ORDINANCE NO. 375
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD RELATING TO THE
SALARIES OF CITY COUNCILMEN AND AMENDING ORDINANCE
NO. 358 AND THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Ordinance No. 358, adopted by the City
Council on June 26, 1973, provided for adjustment in the com-
pensation of City Councilmen as provided by law and that such
ordinance would be operative on and after the date upon which
one or more members of the City Council begin a new term of
office. At the time said ordinance was adopted the Government
Code provided for the regular municipal election to be held on
the second Tuesday in April of even-numbered years and by vir-
tue of such law said Ordinance No. 358 made reference to April
16, 1974 as the date upon which new terms of office commence.
Subsequent to the adoption of said ordinance, a new State
• statute became effective, changing the regular municipal elec-
tion date from the second Tuesday in April to the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in March. It is therefore necessary to
amend Section 4 of said Ordinance No. 358 to eliminate the con-
flict created therein by the new State law, contrary to the
intent of the City Council in adopting said Ordinance No. 358.
This ordinance is therefore adopted for the purpose of clarify-
ing and implementing the intent of said Ordinance No. 358.
Section 2. Section 4 of Ordinance No. 358 adopted
June 26, 1973 is amended to read as follows:
"Section 4. This ordinance shall be operative
only on and after the date upon which one or more
members of the Council of the City of Rosemead
become eligible for the salary prescribed herein by
• virtue of beginning a new term of office following
the first general municipal election to be held
after date of adoption hereof."
Section 3. Section 2300 of the Rosemead Municipal
Code is hereby amended to read:
"2300. Councilmen, Compensation. Each member

and after March 12, 1974 such salaries shall be in

as salaries are paid to other officers and employees
of the City of Rosemead."
