Sooners suspend Joe Mixon by Kyle Szymanski
Staff Writ er
Former Freedom High School football p layer Joe Mixon has been suspended by the University of Oklahoma football team for the upcoming season after he was charged with a misdemeanor count of acts resul ting in gross injury, stemming from his alleged assault of a 20-year-old woman at an Oklahoma restaurant last month, the University of Oklahoma announced in a statement this week.
"As the university has demonstrated in the past, we are committed to winning the right way," Vice President for A thletics Joe Castiglione and head coach Bob Stoops said in a joint sta tement. "As an example to others, OU sets the highest possible standards for its student
athletes, coaches and staff." Mixon, who faces up to
a year in prison if convicted, pleaded not guilty to the charge during his arra ignment in Cleveland County District Court on Monday. He was booked, but released on his own recognizance with an order to not have any contact with the victim in the case.
"As we have maintained from the beginning, it is our belief that Joe reacted instinctively after being racially slurred and physically assaulted by a highly intoxicated young woman a nd her male friend," said Mixon's attorney Kevin Finlay at the time the charges were announced last Friday. "We strongly disagree with the series of events as port rayed by Norman PD. Justice knows no gender bias and we do not believe that Joe's actions were criminal in nature. "

Accord ing to the affidavit released by Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburnt last Friday, Norman, Oklahoma Police o fficers were dispatched to Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe on July 25 on reports o f an assault. Officers contacted the victim, as well as several witnesses, who stated that during a
verbal altercation, an unknown black male, later identified as Mixon by at least two witnesses, punched the victim in the face, knocking her unconscious.
The victim was transported to the Norman Regional Hospi tal where she was found to have a fractured jaw, fractured cheekbone, fractured sinus and fractured o rbit, which caused a hematoma on the left eye.
Police later viewed a surveillance video of the incident, which showed Mixon and the victim in a verbal altercation both outside and then inside of the business, according to the affidavit.
After being pushed, Mixon allegedly lunged at the victim in an aggressive manner, leading with his head and wi th his right fist clenched by his side.

City cou nci I accepts pay rate increase
by Corey Hunt Co rrespo nde nt
Answering the call to public service is about to get more lucrative if you live in the City of Oakley. After waiving the last opportunity for a stipend raise back in 2012, the Oakley City Council agreed last week to an ordinance proposal that would increase their monthly stipend by $21.75, bringing the total allowance to $456.75.
While the ra ise is justified as California law permi ts 5-percent stipend adj ustments every two years, the council sa id the primary a im of the ra ise is not to better their own lives, but to make a seat on the council more appealing to qua lified lower-income candidates as

that. Come Sept. 14, there 's a prime example of that taking place right here in East County.
That's when the East Contra Costa Historical Society will hold its an-nual barbecue at the Byer-Nail House, the ECCHS museum located on Sellers
Avenue. The house was built in 1878 and donated to the ECCHS in 1986. Today it houses an amazing collection of relics, from a shotgun owned by Charles Marsh to farm equipment, fire engines, tools and even an omnibus (wagon) used to ferry passengers to the Byron Hot Springs Resort during its heyday.
But although there are hundreds of things at the museum that definitely look their age, don't expect everything to look that way. The house and many of its displays (including the like-new omnibus) have been restored over the years by volunteers whose efforts are remarkable both in the volume and quality of the work they've done.

The recently restored one-room Eden Plains Schoolhouse will be open for tours at the annual ECCHS Community Barbecue on Sept. 14.
Kathy Leighton has been on the ECCHS board longer than she probably cares to admit. She's witnessed first-hand the progress that has been made to ensure the history of our area is preserved and made avai lable for locals to learn from and enjoy.
"Things seem to go in cycles," Kathy says. "Some years, there's a lot going on, and others not so much." Right now, she added, the former is true, with dozens of active volunteers pitching in - more than she's ever seen before.
Doing most of the heavy lifting is
a group of retired folks who call themselves the Breakers. Kathy says they adopted the name because they take a Jot of breaks, but you'd never know it by how much they get done.
I stopped by the museum this week and found Breaker Bob Byer hard at work, repairing the museum's picket fence. A member of the Byer family who has donated countless hours to the museum and local schools, Bob said being a Breaker is more than just something to keep busy. " It's mostly the camaraderie with the other guys and doing things the public can enjoy," he said.
Perhaps the best example of the Breakers' work is the one-room Eden Plains Schoolhouse. Built in 1868 in Knightsen, the building was donated to the ECCHS and moved onto the museum grounds a half-dozen years ago. It's now been fu lly restored and filled with desks, pictures, chalkboards, McGuffey readers and even a coal scuttle like that originally used to fuel the school's potbelly stove.
The school fits perfectly into one of the ECCHS' most notable projects, a month-long educational project known as School Days. This year, more than I ,400 local third-graders participated, getting hands-on experience pumping water, washing clothes with a washboard, churning ice cream, excavating a midden

You may have seen some of the signs up around town already. Sonic is coming to Brentwood in spring 2015, and no, not the
fast food chain! Sonic is an internet and phone pro
vider, but they are not your normal pro
vider. Their internet cables transfer up to
100 times faster than regular copper and coaxial cable. That's why they are calling it
Gigabit Fiber Internet.
The good news is that you can get internet and home phone services for only
$40 per month.
The bad news is that not everyone can get this service. Sonic only wants to focus
on those neighborhoods where a lot of
people will sign up. To gauge the interest, they have set up a website where you can
log your interest, and the neighborhoods
with the most responses will get their service first. Some neighborhoods already
have the right conduit installed, which will put them at the top of the list. Even if your neighborhood doesn't have it, if enough of
your neighbors express interest, Sonic may go ahead and put the conduit in.
The website is http://sonic.net/bl. Log
in and register your interest, and then pass the link on to your friends and neighbors.
By the way, I get nothing from Sonic
for this plug. I just thought this was some
thing many of you would be interested in, and it would actually help Brentwood
home values if the whole town had this service!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pensions aren't the problem Editor:
I'm not going to try changing anyone's mind about public employee pensions. Every one is entitled to their opinion. They are not, however, entitled to their own facts.
The overriding fact is that the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Board of Directors has done everything permitted by current law to reduce or manage pension costs. We have implemented every part of the Governor's Two-Tier Plan as passed by the legi slature in 2012. Our latest contracts with the employee associations call for each employee to pay 100 percent of their share of pension costs. We are fully participating in, and current with our payments to, the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association program to catch up with unfunded liabilities. Our portion of unfunded liabilities remains the same no matter how many current employees we have.
We have never had the more outrageous pension spiking provisions of some other districts, and our contributions to CCCERA do not help fund those payments. We are only pooled with CONFIRE, which is a net benefit due to our size. As to the vacation sell-back controversy of the last two years, that is gone forever, barring a reversal in an appellate court.
Any employee who was going to exercise that right had to retire by a court-imposed deadline last month . Some did so, from CONFIRE and other county departments, but none did from ECCFPD. We have our own program to eliminate unfunded liabilities from Employee Medical by 2018-19, and we are current with that.
The fire chief and the board finance committee work continuously with CCCERA to stay abreast of developments, obtain our most favorable rates and accurately integrate them into our five- and tenyear budget projections.
Mr. Aliferis of the Contra Costa Taxpayer's Association is well aware of this as we have been reaching out to them for months and providing them with any information they desired. Given that, his statements made at this month's ECCFPD board meeting were shamefully misleading. Both he and Mr. Bray will acknowledge these facts in private conversation, but have chosen to not do so publicly in any media forum I have seen.
Anyone who wants something more done about pension costs, your chariot awaits. It's called the Capitol
Corridor. Get on one and go talk to the only people who can change pension law, or sign an initiative petition, or wait to see what happens in the courts. That is your right.
But if you want to place the lives, health and property of I 05,000 of us at further risk to make a point, you and I have issues.
Stephen Smith Brentwood
Benefit assessment is bogus Editor:
I am very disappointed that the ECCFPD is asking for our support for a benefit assessment when they have not addressed their high pension costs.
More than half of their budget is needed to pay the pensions of retired firefighters. They cannot continue operating without a change in course.
As a property owner, I don't mind an increase in assessments if it is to maintain the necessary staffing levels. But I will not vote for an increase when the majority of the costs is for retired firefighters. Once the ECCFPD has adequately addressed the pension problem, then I will vote for an increase.
And I am dismayed that they are blackmailing us into voting for the assessment by planning to temporarily close one station!
Bonnie Clawson Brentwood
Stop the tax madness Editor:
It seems to me that on a daily basis we are constantly hearing we need to raise taxes to raise funds for this or that. The most recent item is for the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District.
The so-called assessment claims the fund s are needed to keep two stations open. When we ask how did this happen in the first place, it appears that we had some personnel that were getting six-figure pensions in retirement even though there weren't funds to cover these kinds of pensions. The problem still exists even today.
If we ran a business like the board is running the district, we would be out of business to say the least. It is my belief that until the board learns to operate in a fiscally responsible manner, we are not to give them a penny more.
It is time the people who are civil servants remember that they are civil servants. If they want to make a large sala ry or a huge pension, they need to seek it in the private sector. We value our firemen and policemen tremendously because they
have answered their calling. Now our public officials need to run their departments as a business as well. Then when they really need the money, people like us won't have to look at every bond request with suspicion.
Nearly 300 people are leaving the state of California per day because they cannot afford to either raise their families here or retire here. The Golden State is quickly becoming the Tarnished State.
Scott Sims Oakley
The truth will set you free Editor:
This letter is in reference to Rick Lemyre's Living History column. I highly recommend that you read "General Vallejo and the Advent of the Americans" by Alan Rosenus. This book received two awards. One was for Best Biography of the Year, and the second was for Western Writers of America Spur Award. After reading, I think you will change your opinion of John Marsh.
John Bidwell called him "one of the most selfish of mortals."
He technically was not a doctor either. He only received his Bachelors of Art degree from Harvard, so that does not entitle him to be called doctor.
He mistreated and disrespected the Indians and Mexicans who served under him at his homestead. He also disrespected and was dishonest to the host of the time, which was Mexico under General Mariano Vallejo.
If we are going to tell history, then let us tell the truth. It has been a longstanding practice to raise one culture while ignoring and suppressing the other. This must end, and for us to become united, we must acknowledge truth.

FAMILY MATTERS BY SILKY SAHNAN , ESQ.
A few words all divorcing parents should share with their kids
Divorce is w1deniably a tumultuous experience for any couple, regardless of how an1icable the dissolution may be. It's easy to get caught up in the roller coaster of emotions, as well as the challenges of navigating the divorce process itself. It is important to remember there are innocent bystanders sitting on the sidelines, watching and listening. Regardless of their age, careful attention must be paid to the children of divorce, minimizing the fallout as they interpret it Here are a few words of advice to offer children that may help guide them through this difficult period and ease their adjustment.
1) It is not your fault. Whether a child is three or 30, it is a natural response to look for reasons why parents divorce. As children search for answers, one place they may look is inward. How children perceive a situation is altogether unpredictable, and may be based on something as seemingly insignificant as a passing glance or an off-the-cuff comment.
2) There is no wrong way to feel. When adults go through a divorce, emotions run the gamut. The
same holds true for children. Children of all ages need to know that on some days they may feel sad, angry, hurt or even happy about the change in their family's situation. All of these feelings are natural, and may fluctuate throughout the day and over time.
3) There is outside support if you need or want it. As a caveat to the above, if a childs perceptions about divorce become irrational to the point of being self-destructive, it is advisable to seek help from a qualified mental health professional. Even if a child's response is not threatening, turning to an outside party such as a therapist, support group, clergyman, trusted relative or family friend for added support could be beneficial. Help is out there. It is only a matter of asking for it.
If you need additional tips and advice on talking to your children. Our office has a lending library with books on how to deal with divorce. Please contact the Law Offices of Silky Sahnan at 925-276-0789 for further assistance with starting your divorce.

whenever the need arose. If there was a need for a driver, regardless of the geographic area, Mary would step up and deliver meals."
Her quest to make a difference also lead her to Soroptimist International's Pittsburg chapter where she held several volunteer positions over the years before she transferred to the Delta chapter seven years ago. The Soroptimist mission to globally improve the lives of women and gi rls through mentoring and empowerment called to Morris, and she remained devoted and heavily involved until her death - in fact she was recently elected treasurer.
"She did an amazing job holding the club together with her financial knowledge. She was a wiz at what she did," said Jan Schults, Soroptimist International of the Delta president. " Mary was a wonderful woman who would do anything to help you."
While Mary earned her Bachelor 's Degree and had an open-ended professional future, her sister Pamela Long states that she decided early on to "put aside any personal aspirations and be more involved
in the community." Mary gave up the idea of pursuing a more lucrative career to not only stay home and raise her children, but to become a back-up "mom" to the kids in her neighborhood. The Morris household became what Pamela calls "ground zero," the home where all the kids gathered after school for home-made cookies and an extra watchful and caring eye. According to Pamela, " Her life was richer and fuller because of it."
To those left behind , Mary bequeathed memories of her sense of humor, her compassion and her engaging laugh. She is survived by her husband Alan Morris, her children Andrew and Amy, her daughter-in-law Corby, her grandchildren Kailey, Faerlene and Theodore, siblings William Long and Pamela Long, and the many friends, co-workers and community members whose lives she touched.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Aug. 23, at II a.m. at St. Martin of Tours Church, 5294 Concord Blvd. in Concord.

Delta boating safety a top priority by Heather Brewer
Correspondent
Boaters around the Delta are soaking up the last few weeks of sun in the season, but even though the dog days of summer are winding down, the focus on safety should not.
In the Delta, the most commonly seen boating safety mishaps are boat wake and speeding violations, according to Sgt. Paul Beard with Contra Costa County's Office of the Sheriff Marine and Air Support Services. While the numbers of accidents this year are currently fewer than last year, there is also a decrease in the number of boaters out on the Delta.

floatation devices for all persons aboard." While the dangers of speeding and
churning up excessive wake are generally well known, the dangers of riding on the back and sides of boats aren't as well known. These areas of a vessel are particularly dangerous as toxic levels of carbon monoxide can build up anywhere in or around a boat. Death or injury can result from carbon monoxide poisoning, which results when a person breathes in the odorless, colorless gas that can be generated from auxiliary boat equipment like stoves, heaters, refrigerators, generators and hot water heaters, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
" We are currently sitting at 11 accidents and one fatality this year, compared to 16 accidents and one fatality at the same time last year, but we seem to be experiencing a 10 to 20 percent decrease in the amount of boaters this year," said Beard. "Most of our accidents are vessels (colliding with) submerged and stationary, above-water objects. Too great of speed and improper lookouts seems to be the primary cause."
Oakley's Danielle Gifford and son Riley, 1, enjoy an afternoon on the Delta near Discovery Bay. As summer comes to a close, boating safety still remains a necessity.
Some of the places where the dangerous fumes can accumulate include under inadequately ventilated canvas enclosures, near blocked exhaust outlets, in any enclosed space, or over and around the backs and sides of boats as they idle. The gas can remain there even after the engines are turned off, so it is important to never sit, teak surf or hang on the back deck or swim platform of boats while the engines are running.
Other issues include irregular lifejackets use and boating while under the influence of alcohol.
"The things I see the most when I am out on the water is children not wearing life jackets and people being lax about drinking on boats," said Dennis Park, a
Discovery Bay resident and local business owner. "Boats are just like cars; you have to have a designated driver. Usually deaths on the water are avoidable, so common sense and following the rules can help prevent those kinds of useless deaths."
To stay safe on the Delta, remember to be observant of your surroundings, know boating and navigational laws, keep proper safety equipment close by and

avoid running personal watercrafts like wave runners after dark.
"You should be aware of other boaters, swimmers and changing conditions such as the wind, tide and sunlight," said Beard. "Proper preparation is key. Make sure your vessel is in good operating condition and full of fresh fuel. Also, keep a sound device, charged U.S. Coast Guardapproved fire extinguisher, (portable) floatation device and properly fitted personal
"The Delta is a wonderful place to enjoy," Beard added. "Stay safe and respectful of others while doing so and take care not to pollute or disrupt the sensitive ecological elements."

Heritage boys aim to dominate in pool by Kyle Szymanski
Staff Writer
After winning the Bay Valley Athletic League three years in a row, it's easy to predict the Heritage boys water polo team will float to the top of the standings again in 2014.
But if the Patriots don't want their streak to dry up, they must contend with the loss of II players to graduation, including seven all-league members.
Coming ofT their fourth league championship in five years, the Patriots will rely on a core quartet of returning players and a few newcomers as they look to take a step forward this season.
Gone is MVP goalkeeper Jake Matthiessen and all-league players Daniel Comforti, Ryan Ellis, Brendan Goyette, Austin Conner, Walker Thaning and Daniel Schafer from a squad that went undefeated in league p lay last year before getting bounced in the first round of the North Coast Section playoffs by Las Lomas.
Returners Matt Bryant (all-league second team in 2014), Jack Strauss, Robert Hunsinger and Cole Zieman are expected to buoy the squad tlus season, said head coach Nick Araujo.
Colby Baum will take over for Matthiessen in the cage. Fellow junior varsity standout Jo hn Moore is a lso expected to make a splash on the va rsity level.
Press file photo
The loss of MVP goalkeeper Jake Matthiessen w ill be felt by the Patriots water polo team this season, but Heritage is aga in favorite to w in the league.
"The boys are committed and buying in," Araujo said. "The boys know they are expected to participate and do well."
Meanwhile at Freedom, which finished in second place in the BVAL with a record of 15-8 and 6-2 in league play, the Falcons will miss the presence of a llleague members Christian Henry, Cameron Ott-Bales and Italo Tapia, but a re
expected to be held up by returners Drew Irwin (all-league first-team in 20 13), Jacob Roeder (a ll-league second-team last year) a nd Chris Warren (returning allhonorable mention team member).
Liberty, which coasted into third place last year with a record of 3-9 and 2-8 in league play, will feature an all-senior squad that must compensate for a
mixture of injuries, ineligibility and players that have moved out of the area. Key starters Preston Charles-Merrill , Billy Shultz and Nathan Reinders won't be available for the Lions this year, but a pair of first-team all-league players return in Alec Pastor and Austin Power.
Trey Griffen, who split his time between water polo and band, is a lso expected to return for the Lio ns.
"We've only had a few days of p ractice but it looks like we have some potentially good , solid starters to replace those guys (Charles-Merrill, Shultz and Reinders)," said Liberty head coach Kurt Roessler.
Roessler, who handled coaching the junior varsity and varsity squads by himself last year, expects to get one assistant and possibly one parent volunteer.
Deer Valley limped to a fourth place finish last year in league play, and figures to rely on a cast of newcomers to help them along this season. All-league players Mark Ortlieb and Noah Abuda have graduated , but the Wolverines should build around returning all-league secondteamer Ryan Herrington.
An tioch, which struggled to a last place finish last year, will look for players to build around fo llowing the graduation of all-league players Jaxson Schuler and Eric Noteboom.
Most league squads are scheduled to open play at the end of the month.
Patriots hope to repeat as tennis champs by Michael Dixon
Correspondent
The 20 12 and 2013 Bay Valley Athletic League girls tennis seasons have fo llowed similar scripts.
While the lineups were far from identical, both seasons ended with the Heritage Patrio ts atop the league standings.
Although the 20 14 season is at its earliest stage, Heritage is a strong favorite to win the league champio nship fo r a third year in a row. The Patriots three doubles teams will look a lot different in 2014, as five of the six players have graduated, but five of the six players in the singles lineup are the same.
" It would be pretty surprising if it was anything other than Heritage then Pittsburg one and two," said Freedom head coach Steve Amaro. "After that, it's an open race for the third spot."
Part of Heritage's advantage is the dominance o f No. I p layer Courtney Samuda, a junior.
She's won the league tournament in each of her first two years at Heritage, going virtually untested thorough the regular season in both years.
A season ago, she wrapped up the league title by beating Pittsburg's Ivy Hughes, who is also now a junior and figures to help the Pirates to another strong season.
Aside from Samuda. fellow junior Erika Publico and seniors Stephanie Mitchener, Micah Balingit and Samina Collins a ll return from the singles lineup for the Pat riots, while senior Dani Tamura played varsity last yea r on the doubles side.
Freedom's No. I singles player will be senior Sophia Obregon. But perhaps the most important Falcon will be the No. 2 playe1; junior Marisela Lares. Samuda is tough for any team's No. I to beat, but Amaro hopes that Lares can be similarly don'llnant at the No. 2 spot, neutralizing the edge at the top.
"She's in line to really equalize the playing field," Amaro said. " If that's the case, then it comes down to what we and the other teams have in motion."
Freedom will a lso return seniors Georgia Flores, Daphne Torres, MaKenzie GrifTts, Jourdan Eckel and sophomore Bria Eckel.
Li berty's team is young, but head coach Priscilla Macksoud is encouraged with the group that she has at the ready.
"We have many new and inexperienced p layers joining the team," Macksoud said. "It may be a rebuilding year, but there is a lot of potential talent we are looking forward to developing. Overall,

Awakening the body and soul
by Amy Schra der Correspondent
Julie Hung, owner of the new Miracle Massage Therapy Center in Brentwood, is on a mission to share the miraculous healing benefits of massage.
Unlike other massage studios, Miracle Massage Therapy Center, which opened in April, is a certified Chinese foot and body massage center. Miracle Massage staff uses traditional Chinese methods, similar to acupuncture, to access pressure points across the body to release tension. This is not a one-size fits all massage. Each massage is customized to meet each person's needs. The results not only relieve physical strains, but also stimulate the body's natural ability to heal itself
"The techniques we use not only leave people relaxed, but give their body more energy to heal," Hung said . "If a person is experiencing a specific type of pain or stress, we a lleviate it by accessing specific pressure points."
In addition to traditional Chinese methods, massage therapists at Miracle Massage are also trained and certified in both deep tissue and hot oil massage. Deep tissue massages relax the muscles under the body's primary layer of muscle to provide relief from stress and anxiety. Hot oil

There are three types of massages available: foot, body and a combination of foot and body. A foot massage includes a hot herbal bath and free head, neck, shouJ-

Take care of your skin When you think about sun exposure,
the first thing that comes to mind is the beach or the pool, but millions of Americans get the most sun exposure in their cars.
Many people are unaware the sun's harmful rays can penetrate glass- both in cars and buildings. Research shows drivers are especially vulnerable to harmful ultraviolet A (UVA) rays on the left side of their bodies from side windows in cars, which are typica lly unprotected.
Here are some tips to protect yourself while in your car this summer: • Consider putting tint on your car win

The body massage covers areas that most people don't realize hold tension, such as behind the ears and in the palms of the hands. This massage is a holistic approach that frees the flow of energy and results in lasting relaxation. There are three types of body massages to choose from: Swedish, sports and deep tissue.

Make sure your sunscreen contains some combination of UVA-shielding ingredients such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, stabilized avobenzene or ecamsule.
• Wear protective clothing like a longsleeved shirt, pants, sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat whenever possible.
• Do skin self-checks every month to keep track of your brown spots and freckles and see a dermatologist annually for a complete skin exam.

The victim reacted by slapping Mixon with an open right hand, near his left ear. He then struck her on the left side of her face with his closed right fist, knocking her into a tabletop and then to the ground where she laid motionless.
The victim told officers at the scene that the altercation stemmed from the use of a homosexual slur directed towards her friend by Mixon.
Mixon, who will be excluded from all Oklahoma team activities and have his name removed from the roster, was the nation's top high school all-purpose back last season as a member of Freedom's football team. He had about 50 Division

voting themselves additional income. "The way it is set up is that the city
council can adopt an ordinance to increase the stipend only before the next municipal election," Galstan said. "And then, the new salary- if increased - can only take effect after the election. This way, the folks who are voting on the ordinance may or may not necessarily obtain any advantage because they may or may not still be on the council when the new rates begin."
Since council passed on its last opportunity for a raise, the monthly stipend has remained at $435 for nearly four years.
Vice Mayor Doug Hardcastle lightened the discussion by finding humor in the increase.
I college scholarships on the table but whittled down his choices to Oklahoma, Wisconsin and UCLA before announcing his decision to attend Oklahoma on national television during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January. Mixon has not been practicing with the team since the incident occurred. He will be permitted to continue as a student, e ligible for financial aid.
Freedom head coach Kevin Hartwig did not respond to requests for comment.
Mixon's next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 23.

''I'm just wondering, if we do take this raise, will we have a financial adviser available to us?" he asked jokingly.
Others tried to keep it more serious. " If this extra $21.75 makes a differ
ence, then I'm for it," said Councilmember Diane Burgis. "If you are really doing a good job as a city council person, you are traveling, you are spending a lo t of time, and I agree, I don't think it should just be wealthy people who serve on the council."
The ordinance to increase the monthly stipend will be presented to the council for an official vote at the next meeting on Sept. 9.
