Summary
After an annual closed-session evaluation, the council voted unanimously to grant the city manager a 6% salary increase and a one-time 6% performance bonus; the city attorney was directed to prepare a ratifying resolution for a future meeting.
Laguna Hills City Council voted unanimously to increase the city manager's salary by 6% and to award a one-time 6% performance bonus, following the completion of the manager's annual performance evaluation in closed session.
The motion, made by the mayor and seconded on the record, specified a 6% salary increase on the city manager's base pay and a one-time bonus equal to 6% of the current annual base salary. The mayor said the raise equates to moving the manager's salary from the prior base of $274,300 to approximately $290,007 and that the one-time bonus would be roughly $16,458, authorized by the city manager's employment contract. The motion directed the city attorney to prepare a ratifying resolution and return it to the council for formal adoption.
Council approved the motion without recorded opposition.
Next steps: the city attorney will prepare the ratifying resolution and the compensation changes will be brought back for formal approval at the next regular meeting.
