People who had never even been to a City Council meeting or served on an advisory committee were running for office. Our City Council members and mayors are treated very well. Now once again, the SLO City Council has voted to adopt new pay rates, awarding far higher salaries than comparably sized cities. For example:Mayor: San Luis Obispo, $58,368; Santa Cruz, $41,048; Santa Maria, $23,484.
