Monrovia council approves raise, removes cap and authorizes sick‑leave payout for city manager
Summary
On July 15 the Monrovia City Council unanimously approved an amendment to City Manager Dylan Feek’s employment agreement that raises his base salary to $287,000, removes a 5% cap on annual increases and authorizes a cash‑out of up to 529 hours of unused sick leave into deferred compensation.
The Monrovia City Council on July 15 approved an amendment to City Manager Dylan Feek’s employment agreement that raises his base salary to $287,000, eliminates a 5% cap on future annual increases and authorizes a cash out of up to 529 hours of unused sick leave, valued at up to $30,000, to be deposited into a deferred compensation account.
The change came during the meeting’s administrative reports. City Attorney Craig Still presented the item after the council completed Feek’s annual performance evaluation; Feek recused himself from the discussion and left the chambers. Human resources data cited to justify the change showed Feek’s prior salary was “just over $250,000.” The council’s resolution described three changes: removal of the 5% cap on annual increases, setting the salary at $287,000 and allowing the sick‑leave cash‑out into deferred compensation. The hosts’ recap said the combined effect brings the year’s total compensation package to about $320,000.
Councilmember Tyler Spicer moved the resolution; Councilmember Edward Belden seconded. The motion passed unanimously. One public speaker addressed the item in support during the meeting, according to the public recap.
Votes at a glance: The council considered the consent calendar (items CC1–CC13) and administrative reports in separate parts of the agenda. The consent calendar (CC1–CC13) was approved in one motion by Councilmember Spicer, seconded by Councilmember Jimenez, and the council enacted those items. The amendment to the city manager’s contract was then approved by the council in a unanimous vote (motion by Spicer; second by Belden).
The city attorney told the council the April–June performance review had been completed and described the employment‑agreement review as the designated period to make compensation adjustments under Feek’s existing contract. The transcript recap records no changes to duties or added deliverables tied to the amended compensation; it records only the compensation adjustments and the sick‑leave cash‑out authorization.
The meeting was called to order at 7:36 p.m. and adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
