Agenda Item No. 7
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Mayor John Noyes
RE: Modifications to City Attorney Contract
DATE: November 14, 2000
The City Attorney was recently evaluated and the City Council was generally pleased with
his performance during the past twelve months. In the next year, the City Attorney will be
called upon to provide legal advice on complex matters such as the proposed extension
of the JWA Settlement Agreement and the proposed annexation of the Newport Coast.
The City Council has recently granted pay increases to the City Manager and City Clerk.
I am proposing that the City Attorney's contract be modified to reflect a three percent (3 %)
increase in the current base salary for the position and to conform flex leave accrual rates
to those of other employees with the same tenure.
I am recommending the City Council approve these amendments by adopting the
Resolution that accompanies this memo.

Mayor of Newport Beach
