If you were to ask me The Rialto City Council doesn't deserve a Raise of any kind. they have done nothing to deserve any kind of Raise. Whether it has been 8 years since the last raise or not is not Relevant it has to go by the job that they have done for the City of Rialto and the Citizens of Rialto. They have done Nothing, but cost the city Money. With their Special Trials to try to get the Police Department Contracted with the Sheriff Department, they were do confident that they had that Won, that they had the Sheriff Talking about it in his Address to the State of the County speech that he does every year.
But no, they don't deserve a thing for what they have done. Cost the city in the price of specialists used to fight the Court battles that didn't even need to take place that were against the Police Union and their own Constituents that Voted them into office. That were all fighting to keep the Police Station the way that it is, since they know how to fight the crime in this City better then Any Sheriff that has the Responsibility over the whole county!!
They now have done that and done nothing to get any development started on the new Easton Ave. That is a winding road in the mist of nothing with dirt and weeds on either side with no businesses, that could have and should be stared to be built. NO. there is no foresight to get this done!!
They deserve nothing!

Rialto council to vote on raises
The pay hike would increase council members' pay from $715 a month to $1,001. The mayor makes 2 & 1/2 times more.
The rate could apply to the two recently elected members of the council if the second reading of the ordinance takes place between Nov. 26 and Dec. 5. Otherwise, it would apply only to new members and those re-elected after the next election in 2008.
To keep high-quality individuals willing to serve on the council, Councilman Ed Scott said it is reasonable to ask for the increase.
Scott said he spends between 30 and 40 hours a week on city business. And, he said, he and his colleagues recently lost their $600-a-month car allowance.
Scott said he hopes the other council members will support holding a meeting before Dec. 5 so that the increase will be in effect for the recently elected members - incumbent Deborah Robertson and Joe Baca Jr..
The current pay rate dates back to 1998. Under state law, the city may raise council members' pay by 5 percent a year. The increase was calculated by taking 5 percent of the current pay and multiplying that amount by eight, the number of years since the pay rate was set.
