The vote also included an additional 240 hours, or 30 days, of paid leave for Chan in addition to the 160 hours, or 20 days, normally given to the city manager position received.

“I fully support his salary increase and he probably— he deserves it,” Mayor Darrell Steinberg said. “…For me [the hours are] an ask that I am uncomfortable with.”

City Councilmembers Sean Loloee, Eric Guerra, Rick Jennings, Lisa Kaplan, Karina Talamantes, and Caity Maple voted in favor of the changes.

Steinberg and Councilmembers Katie Valenzuela and Mai Vang abstained.
