RESOLUTION NO. 86R-361
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM OPPOSING THE SO-CALLED "CALIFORNIA
FAIR PAY" INITIATIVE
WHEREAS, the so-called "California Fair Pay" Initiative
shall appear on the November, 1986 ballot; and
WHEREAS, this initiative would limit compensation of
state and local officials to no more than 80 percent of the
governor's salary; and
WHEREAS, the initiative severely damages California's
competitive position in retaining and attracting top talent to
public service positions; and
WHEREAS, the arbitrary limits set by the initiative are
in conflict with the marketplace in which California must compete
for technical and managerial skills; and
WHEREAS, the initiative destroys rational salary setting
due to the arbitrary limits it establishes and the compaction
problems it creates with respect to salary structures; and
WHEREAS, the management of California's public business
could suffer serious, perhaps irreparable damage as a result of
the loss of competent managers that the initiative would cause; and
WHEREAS, the concept of establishing the governor's
salary as a single salary standard and top public salary in the
state is inappropriate and unworkable; and
WHEREAS, this initiative would prohibit all public
employees from accumulating sick leave and vacation time from one
year to the next; and
WHEREAS, the so-called "California Fair Pay" Initiative
could actually result in higher, not lower, pensions for some
already highly-compensated former public officials.
day of
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim opposes the so-called "California Fair Pay"
Initiative and urges its defeat by the voting public.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted this 5th
Aug'lSt 1986.
