On May 9, 2017, the Santa Monica City Council adopted a resolution establishing the Compensation Study Advisory Committee to act in an advisory capacity to the Audit Subcommittee and staff in matters pertaining to critically reviewing and objectively considering the City's methodologies related to compensation.
The Committee was made up of seven Santa Monica residents, appointed by the City Manager. At least one member was required to have substantial work experience in the public sector. The Compensation Study Advisory Committee met jointly with the Audit Subcommittee for a limited term while a comprehensive compensation study was conducted. The final compensation study was presented to the Audit Subcommittee and Compensation Study Advisory Committee on February 28, 2018, after which the Advisory Committee was dissolved.
For more information on the Compensation Study Advisory Committee, please refer to the following documents:
