McFarland extends contract addendum for police oversight adviser Kenny Williams through June 30, 2025
Summary
The council approved an addendum extending Kenny Williams— employment agreement as special project manager/police oversight adviser through June 30, 2025, with hourly terms and funds staff said are in the 24–25 budget.
The McFarland City Council approved an extension to the employment agreement for Kenny Williams, continuing his role as special project manager and police oversight adviser through June 30, 2025.
Staff member Miss McKeown described the addendum as an extension from March 1 through June 30, 2025, with the same terms as the original agreement: compensation at $150 per hour for up to 80 hours per month. McKeown said "the necessary funds have already been allocated in the 24–25 budget." She told the council the extension ensures continuity, oversight and completion of ongoing projects.
Police department leadership spoke in support of Williams— work. The chief said Williams "has been integral in catching us up on a lot of our policies" and cited his role in investigations, internal affairs work and audits.
The staff report and council discussion included a numeric amount in the transcript described as "not to exceed $7,072,000 dollars." That figure appears in the meeting record but does not align with the hourly terms stated; staff reported that necessary funds are included in the 24–25 budget. (See audit notes for flagged numeric inconsistency from the transcript.)
Motion: Vice Mayor Connell moved approval; Councilmember Perez seconded. Roll call recorded ayes and the motion passed.
Implementation notes: The addendum covers March 1–June 30, 2025; staff will continue oversight tasks and audits as described in the staff report.
