Council approves acting city manager agreement; staff to start transition July 1
Summary
The council approved an employment agreement to appoint an acting city manager beginning July 1, including a mid-range compensation proposal and a written transition plan outlining duties to be assumed and a return-to-role safeguard for the incumbent assistant position.
The council approved an employment agreement to create an acting city manager appointment starting July 1 and accepted a written transition plan describing phased duty transfers.
Key terms discussed: Staff summarized salary comparisons and the proposed compensation: assistant city manager FY26 salary listed at $116,854, city manager FY26 salary listed at $165,464, and an interim-level salary proposed of approximately $140,000 for the acting role. The agreement also includes a return-right to the assistant city manager position should the acting appointment not become permanent.
Why it matters: The appointment is intended to provide continuity in municipal administration during a leadership transition and to ensure there is a clear assignment of projects and duties while a permanent manager search or decision proceeds.
Outcome: Council voted to authorize execution of the agreement. Staff said the transition plan will phase responsibilities to the acting manager and that further contractual or staffing changes will be brought to council for approval as needed.
