NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . That pursuant to Ordinance No. 78-603 of the City of Hermosa Beach, adopted December 14, 1978, the compensation of the City Clerk shall be fixed by resolution of the City Council. SECTION 2 . That the City Clerk shall receive an additional monthly salary equal to one-half (50 percent) of the Clerk's regular monthly salary for the four and one-half-month election process, commencing July 1, 1997, through November 15, 1997, payable semi-monthly at the same time and in the same manner as the salaries paid to each of the officers and employees of the City.

Per the Municipal Code, the Clerk's compensation must be fixed by resolution.

The traditional extra monthly compensation has been half of the Clerk's monthly salary for consolidated elections.
