The San Luis City Council approved a severance agreement for Assistant City Attorney Glenn J. Gimbutt and took time to publicly recognize his more than two decades of service to the city.

After a closed executive‑session discussion, the council returned to open session and voted to approve the severance agreement by motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Following the vote, council members presented Gimbutt with certificates and a plaque recognizing his service dating back to a contracted role in 1997, service as city attorney beginning in 2004 and more than 20 years as a senior legal staffer. Gimbutt addressed the council and thanked staff, managers and elected officials; he said his reward was knowing the city had been made a better place by the work done.

Council members praised Gimbutt’s service and said they expect to call on his expertise in the future; Gimbutt noted a limited private practice arrangement and said he remained available for consultations at no charge to the city under terms discussed during the recognition.
