Martinson requested a check in with committee members to confirm that all necessary
training had been completed. Anderson confirmed that her training was completed in

that his training was completed in 2020 and he also renewed his training in April 2023.
Murray stated that she still needs to complete the training. Martinson requested that
Chuculate circle back with Murray in 30 days to document completion of the training.
IV. REVIEW OF CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR SALARY FOR 2022/2023
A request was made by Martinson to review information from the Council Ad-Hoc
committee to provide historical context of activity that had happened since November
2022 as it relates to the Mayor’s compensation and benefits. Martinson reviewed the
PowerPoint presentation given by the Ad Hoc committee on April 17th, which focused on
addressing the Mayor’s vacation and sick leave. Martinson stated that a legal analysis

was also done to determine if this focus was under the Council’s purview or if it was a
combination of Council purview and Independent Salary Commission purview.
Information for future Council study sessions was given to the Independent Salary
Commission members to provide additional understanding of what Council is doing
currently and how they view the role and responsibility, by Code, of the Independent
Salary Commission. Martinson reviewed with the Independent Salary Commission the
Ad Hoc committee’s recommendations. There was discussion and comments made by
all the commissioners in attendance to review the preliminary salary analysis and then
schedule a follow-up meeting once the Auburn City Code is updated and there is further
clarity by Council on the authority given to the Independent Salary Commission.
