The elective officers of said City shall receive at stated times a compensation for their services in their respective capacities, to be fixed by ordinance adopted by the City Council. The compensation for such services shall not be increased or diminished as to any such officer after such person's election and during such person's term of office, nor within thirty (30) days prior to the date when nomination papers for the position may be filed, provided, however, that in the event of an emergency and in the event any law is adopted by the Legislature of the State of California permitting an increase during the period of any emergency of the salaries of elective officers, then and in that event the City Council may by ordinance increase the salaries of such elective officers in accordance with the provisions of the general law then in effect.

10.1—amended by election 3-7-23.

In the event any elective official described in Article X, Section 10, is unable by reason of illness to perform the duties of such elective official's office, the City Council shall grant, without the necessity of any written request for such leave by the official, to such official a leave of absence with pay, for a period of not to exceed six (6) months. Upon the granting of such leave of absence the City Council shall make a temporary appointment for the duration of the leave of absence. In the event any elective official of the City of Redondo Beach is absent from said City for thirty (30) consecutive days or in the event that such elective official does not perform such elective official's duties for 30 consecutive days, unless such elective official has the permission of the City Council to be absent from the City for thirty (30) consecutive days or to refrain from performing such elective official's duties for longer than such period, such permission being expressed in the official minutes of the City Council, or in the event such official is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, ceases to be a resident of the City of Redondo Beach, or otherwise ceases for any reason to be eligible to hold such official's office, such official's office shall become vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council. "Resident" for this section is based on a person's domicile. The domicile of a person is that place in which his or her habitation is fixed, wherein the person has the intention of remaining, and to which, whenever he or she is absent, the person has the intention of returning. At a given time, a person may have only one domicile.
