SECTION 2.03. COMPENSATION AND BONDS.
   Compensation and bonds for City officials and employees shall be established by ordinance of Council. The definition of "compensation" includes monetary compensation, such as wages, salary, and benefits. This does not preclude the City Administration's negotiating with City employee groups regarding wages and benefits. Salaries and benefits of elected officials for the ensuing term shall be set at least five days prior to the last day for filing candidacy and may not be changed during the term.
   Commencing on or about January 1, 2011, and every four years thereafter, Council, in consultation with the Mayor, will appoint a Compensation Commission consisting of seven resident electors who will be charged with reviewing and making recommendations to the Mayor and Council regarding the salary amount to be paid the Mayor and members of Council. No more than four members of the Compensation Commission shall be of the same political party.
