AI Summary
This bill amends the city charter for Newport News, Virginia, by establishing a new requirement for how city council members' salaries can be increased. Specifically, before the city council can approve any salary raise for its members, they must first establish a citizen compensation committee. This committee will be responsible for conducting a thorough analysis of the official duties of city council members and comparing their compensation to similar roles in both public and private sectors. Based on this analysis, the committee will then provide salary recommendations to the city council. The city council can then pass an ordinance to increase council member compensation, but only up to the amount recommended by this citizen committee, ensuring a data-driven and transparent justification for any salary adjustments.
