Santa Fe Springs council approves amendment to city manager employment agreement on consent
Summary
On the consent calendar the council approved amendments to the city manager’s employment agreement — including a 14% salary increase, additional vacation hours in year one and parity with executive management benefits — following a consultant compensation review, the city attorney said.
The Santa Fe Springs City Council approved, on the consent calendar, an amendment to the city manager’s employment agreement that the city attorney said reflects a 14% pay increase and other benefits recommended after an annual performance review and an independent comparison study.
City Attorney Rick (last name not specified in the transcript) told the council the amendment implements the council’s direction following the May performance review. He said the changes are: "a 14% salary increase, which equates to $359,000, 208 hours of vacation for the first year with adjustments thereafter, and the same benefits and COLA as provided to executive management team members." Rick said the council retained an expert on city manager compensation who advised that the proposed total compensation is commensurate with similarly situated city managers in Los Angeles County.
The amendment was listed as consent-item number 6 and was approved as part of the consent calendar. A motion and second were made and the mayor called for the vote; the clerk recorded the motion as carried by voice vote. The meeting record shows the consent calendar passed without a separate roll-call of individual council votes.
Ending: The contract amendment is approved by the council on consent; staff did not provide additional implementing details during the meeting and will follow the normal administrative steps for processing the revised employment agreement.
