CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE <br />To prevent the City Council from taking action in closed session contrary to recommendations of City <br />management, including the City Manager and the Finance Director, with regard to wages, salaries, and <br />benefits, particularly health and pension, to the detriment of the citizens of the City of Riverside, I suggest <br />that you incorporate a provision in the Charter requiring the Council to establish an independent wages, <br />salaries, and benefits committee consisting of seven or nine citizens of Riverside to publically review and <br />then submit and recommend to the Council specific proposals for wages, salaries, and benefits. <br />The committee should be comprised of one councilman, one general employee, one safety employee, one <br />management employee, the Finance Director or a substitute, and two to four private citizens, including a <br />finance person or accountant. All members of the committee should be citizens of Riverside. <br />Having the committee publically propose the wages, salaries, and benefits eliminates the conflict of <br />interest that the Mayor and Council have since they directly benefit from the wages, salaries, and benefits <br />they establish. Further, they will not be able to buy votes with public money as they did in 2003 when <br />they raised the pension contribution from 2.0% per year to 2.7% per year for general employees, a 35% <br />per year increase, and to 3.0% per year for safety employees, a 50% per year increase, and lowered the <br />required age of retirement to 60 years and 50 years, respectively, and made the benefits retroactive to the <br />employees date of employment. <br />Robert A. Krieger <br />2644 Vista de Victoria <br />Riverside, CA 92506 <br />M <br />
