Redondo Beach council directs amendment to city manager’s contract; 4–1 vote to proceed
Summary
Council directed the city attorney to prepare a contract amendment to increase the city manager’s salary and extend the term after a subcommittee recommendation; the formal amendment was authorized to be drafted by a 4–1 vote.
The Redondo Beach City Council directed the city attorney to prepare an amendment to the city manager’s employment contract after a subcommittee recommended a salary increase and term extension.
During the meeting a council subcommittee reported it recommended increasing the city manager’s salary by $10,000 (to an approximate $305,000 annual rate) with an extension of the contract term to Dec. 31, 2028. Several council members praised the city manager’s leadership, responsiveness and departmental improvements; other members expressed fiscal caution given constrained general‑fund revenues.
Council Member Barrett moved to direct the city attorney to prepare an amendment reflecting the subcommittee’s recommendation; Council Member Barron seconded. The motion passed 4–1. Council discussion and the subcommittee report were part of the public record; the amendment drafting and any final ratification details will be handled under the confidentiality and process rules governing personnel matters.
What’s next: The city attorney will prepare contract amendment language consistent with the council’s direction; the council will consider formal adoption of the amendment and any effective dates as a follow‑up action (the subcommittee proposed an effective date of Jan. 1, 2026).
