September 22, 2015 I II -8- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS COMPENSATION COUNTIL POLICY 4:14 P.M. Mayor Sessoms advised Councilman Moss is unable to attend the Workshop today due to a business meeting; however, he has provided a letter regarding this subject which will be incorporated in these proceedings. City Manager Spore advised the structure of State Government in Virginia is unique with the Constitutional Officers system. By that, he is referring to the five (5) Constitutional Offcers, Commonwealth Attorney, Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer and the Clerk of the Court. In the past, salaries were established for those positions by the City Manager meeting with the Director of Human Resources and reviewing their duties, responsibilities, budget, complexity of the job, etc., and setting the salary into the City's equivalent pay plan. Earlier this year, one of the Officers questioned the process and, as a result, he began questioning who is responsible for setting those specific salaries. A draft Policy was provided to City Council a few weeks ago for review and consideration. Essentially, the Policy memorializes the process of making a recommendation at the same time the Budget is presented. This puts the responsibility of setting those salaries on the shoulders of City Council. Should City Council wish to proceed with the recommendation, the Resolution will be placed for City Councils'future consideration. Mayor Sessoms thanked Mr. Spore and, as there were no further comments or questions, asked that it be placed on a future Agenda for consideration. September 22, 2015 II 0 0 City of Virginia Seach a o� 9y of .�6\t S op oUR...NoN°1' VBgov.com JOHN MOSS PHONE: (757) 363-7745 COUNCILMAN-AT-LARGE MOSSJOHN@COX.NET 22 September 2015 Honorable Mayor Members of City Council Re: Compensation Determination for Constitutional Offices: City Supplement of City Council Workshop Session Topic on 22 September 2015 Dear Colleagues: The referenced topic could easily get personal and emotional. I am putting my thoughts to writing to further discipline my communication and facilitate our focusing on this issue from the appropriate perspective. We are not addressing the compensation of elected Constitutional Offices established by the State Compensation Board and funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are addressing City Council's authorization of, and appropriation of, supplemental compensation in all forms to elected Constitutional Officers over and above that funded by the Commonwealth. It is a time tested and validated principle that an elected official's salary should not be increased during their term of office. The United States Constitution specifically precludes increases in the salaries of members of Congress, the President and Vice-President during their elected term of office. Therefore, at a minimum the local government's total compensation supplement to a Constitutional Officer should only occur once every four[4] years. The former condition automatically precludes increasing or decreasing the local government's supplement to elected Constitutional Officers'compensation during the City's annual budget process. Furthermore, transparency demands that increasing or decreasing the City's local government supplements to elected Constitutional Officers should be a separate vote every four[41 years. The former would allow the taxpayers and the Constitutional Officers' employers[namely the citizens]to publicly comment on the compensation of each elected Constitutional Officer. 4109 RICHARDSON ROAD,VIRGINIA BEACH,VIRGINIA 23455 -2- I concur with the Constitutional Officer(s) who take exception to the City Manager's current approach of comparative market surveys. As an appointed staffer of the City Council, the City Manager has no positional legitimacy to recommend what supplemental compensation OR in what forms elected Constitutional Officers should receive. I do not concur with the Constitutional Officer(s) who want their salary adjustments included as part of the City's annual budget adoption process. Incumbents of elected Constitutional Offices ran for office knowing what their total compensation would be and that amount should not be increased during their elected term. Elected positions have no analogy to other public or private sector jobs for that matter. Candidates for elected positions are self-selected and they can spend `hundreds of `thousands of dollars to hire by the voters in what can be a grueling interview/election process. Our current Mayor spent over$600,000 in a campaign for a $30,000 a year salary. Clearly it was not the pay that motivated him to run. Likewise, each of our Constitutional Officers knew the salary when they ran for office and were elected. If they find the salary too misaligned with their personal requirements, they do not have to seek re-election. There is also no indication that if compensation went unchanged and the Incumbent was not seeking re-election that the voters would not find a candidate to their liking at the current compensation level. The same holds true for us as Members of City Council. Constitutional Officers, unlike City Council Members, are full-time positions. Not that each City Council Member does not likely spend at least thirty[301 hours a week, including nights and weekends,performing their duties. Currently a Constitutional Officer's total compensation with the City's supplement exceeds by a multiplier of four (4) the total compensation of a City Council Member. True, the Constitutional Officers have staff they directly supervise and they have executive functions to perform. The scope and complexity of each Constitutional Office, on the other hand, is less than that of City Council. Does anyone think that the Constitutional Officer, independent of the office, needs more than four (4) times the compensation as that of a Council Member for the voters to find a qualified candidate? Does this mean that the local taxpayers'supplement to their locally elected Constitutional Officers can never be increased or decreased? Of course not;just as there needs to be a process for the adjustment of the salary of City Council Members from time to time. -3- I propose, in even number years, prior to the election year, that each locally elected Constitutional Officer submit to City Council a letter that would be made public making their recommendation on the annual amount they would propose as the City's supplement for their respective position for each of the next four years. The following is offered as a "straw" man timeline (once every four[41 years, starting with 2016): • March: Constitutional Officer submits justification letter to City Council for the local government's supplemental compensation • March through April: Each Constitutional Officer is invited to make a three[3J minute presentation of their respective request under "New Business"of a Formal City Council Session • March through April: Justification letters for the proposed compensation be posted on the City's web page • May: City Council hold a Public Hearing for citizen feedback • May: City Council appoint a two-member Compensation Committee to bring back a recommendation to that body after they have digested all the feedback • June: City Council take a separate vote on each Constitutional Officer setting the taxpayers'supplement for the next four [41 years, commencing with the new elected term. The City Council, rightfully so, retains the authority and discretion, acting on behalf of residents, to set the local compensation supplements. The Incumbents of the Constitutional Officers will have the opportunity in advance of their re-election, should they seek re-election, to share with the public why they judge they are under compensated. The public, during the process will have the opportunity to share with City Council their feedback on the recommendations made by their elected Constitutional Officers. Lastly, the Incumbents and challengers will have the full benefit of the public discussion. True to tradition to secure the adjudicated local compensation supplement you have to get elected. Between Friday evening and today, Tuesday,September 22, 2015, there was no time for us to engage residents on their thoughts. Before we provide any direction we—City Council Members, not staff—need to educate the taxpayers on all dimensions of this issue. Likewise, at the appropriate time, we need to engage the Constitutional Officers for a healthy exchange. -4- Everyone likes to get a raise. Discussing why one has earned a raise with one's boss is never easy. Just because one judges they have earned a raise does not mean the electoral market place concurs that increasing the City's supplemental compensation to Constitutional Officers is warranted. I look forward to us beginning this discussion today and over the months to come.
