Pursuant to Section 36516.5 of the Government Code, the city council compensation limitations imposed by Section 2.04.050, as adopted by the voters on November 2, 2010, as Measure D, shall apply prospectively only. Said limitations shall not result in any change of compensation during the term of office of any city council member in office on the effective date of Measure D, except that any increase in compensation that results from the application of Section 2.04.050 may go into effect whenever one or more members of the city council become eligible for a salary increase by virtue of beginning a new term of office.
