Everman council authorizes amendment to city manager employment agreement to provide vehicle

After returning from executive session, the Everman City Council voted to authorize the mayor to execute a first amendment to the city manager’s employment agreement providing a motor vehicle for professional, official and personal use.

The item was discussed in executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.074 (personnel matters). When the council returned to open session, a motion was made that the mayor be authorized to execute the amendment. The motion was moved by Place 2, seconded, and the council voted aloud—Place 2, Place 3, Place 4, Place 5, Place 6 and the mayor recorded “Aye”—and the motion carried.

Council recorded the action in open session but discussed the personnel subject in executive session as permitted by state law. The motion’s text authorized the mayor to execute the first amendment to the city manager’s employment agreement; the amendment provides a motor vehicle for the city manager’s professional, official and personal use. The council did not discuss or disclose the vehicle make, model, mileage limits, tax treatment or related compensation details in open session.

Details from the meeting: the executive session citation read was Texas Government Code Section 551.074; the open-session motion authorized the mayor to sign the first amendment; council vote was recorded as unanimous “Aye.”
