Summary

Council authorized the city manager to execute an employment contract for a finance director candidate who accepted a conditional offer, contingent on a satisfactory background check and completion of pre-employment paperwork; the authorization passed unanimously.

After returning from closed session, the city manager summarized that staff had identified a candidate for the finance director position, extended a conditional offer and received acceptance pending background checks and completion of pre-employment paperwork.

The city manager asked the council to authorize executing the employment contract upon successful completion of the background check and required pre-employment steps. Council member Martinez moved to approve the authorization and Mayor Pro Tem Saldana seconded; the council approved the motion unanimously by roll call. Staff said the draft contract sets the terms of employment and that execution will occur after successful background clearance.
