RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA
The City Council is expected to approve an ordinance that will pay each council member $400 per month for their service to the city.
The amount of compensation that the council can be paid is determined by a state code that allows council members serving in cities with populations of 35,000 to 50,000 to be paid a maximum of $400 per month.
The $400 stipend for each council member has already been included in the city’s budget.
