Council amends city code language on city administrator removal to avoid conflict with employment contracts
Summary
An ordinance amending section 2‑1‑68 of the Rolla City Code clarified that the two months severance provided by the code applies unless a separate employment contract specifies otherwise; council approved final reading by roll call.
The Rolland City Council approved an ordinance amending section 2‑1‑68 of the Rolla City Code to clarify removal and severance language for the city administrator.
Staff said the change resolves a conflict between a long‑standing code provision that provides for two months' severance on involuntary separation and the separate employment contract negotiated for the incoming city administrator. The amendment retains the two months' severance in the code but adds text making that severance inapplicable when a separate employment contract provides different terms.
Council approved the ordinance on final reading by roll call (8 ayes). The ordinance was described by staff as routine housekeeping to reconcile city code with an employment contract negotiated during the administrator hiring process.
