The City Council on Monday will vote on a resolution that would allow the Pasadena Housing Rental Board Members to be paid as City employees.
According to the Charter amendment enacted by the passage of Measure H, Board Members are to be paid 2.5 times the City’s minimum wage for a maximum 20 hours of work every week.
The City’s current minimum wage is $16.93.
“At the current rate, the Charter Amendment requires that members of the Board receive [$42.33] per hour for time committed to meetings for a total of no more than 20 hours per week.”
“At most, the cost for all 13 members, including alternates who are entitled to attend meetings of the Board, to work the maximum of 20 hours would not exceed $11,005.80 per week until such time that the Board adopts a budget and sets a rental housing fee sufficient to pay for the necessary costs of the Board, the funds advanced by the City for the Pasadena Rental Housing Board Fund (689) are available to cover the Board’s time committed to meetings,” according to a memo in the Council’s agenda. “The proposed compensation of the members of the Board complies with and is required by the Charter Amendment.”
Nearly 54% of the voters passed Measure H in the November election. The law was certified in December. The initiative also amended the City’s Charter and established a Housing Rental Board which is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the rent control initiative.
