Aztec commissioners approve city manager contract with added pay and notice provisions
Summary
The Aztec Special Commission met Feb. 18, moved into a closed session to negotiate the city manager contract and approved the agreement with two corrections: adding two months' pay and a one‑month notice period; votes were recorded as affirmative in the transcript.
The Aztec City Special Commission moved into a closed session Feb. 18 “pursuant to section 10-15-18s 2” to discuss personnel matters and negotiation of the city manager contract, then approved the negotiated agreement with two corrections.
A commissioner moved to approve the negotiated city manager agreement with two corrections — adding two months' pay and inserting a one-month notice provision — and the motion was seconded. The commission then recorded affirmative responses (‘I’) in a voice vote and the motion was taken as approved on the record in the transcript. Recorded named votes in the transcript include Commissioner Randall, Commissioner Ler and Mayor Procortez indicating “I” during the vote sequences; several other affirmative votes were recorded but not attributed to specific names in the available transcript.
The closed session was announced explicitly as a personnel negotiation; the script in the record states the session was held “pursuant to section 10-15-18s 2” and the topic given was negotiation of the city manager contract. After the closed session, meeting participants returned to open session and discussed minor administrative edits to a notice language to state a one-month notice window.
The motion’s key text as reflected in the public portion of the record specifies the two corrections only as (1) adding two months' pay and (2) a one-month notice requirement. The transcript does not record the city manager’s name in open session, the final contract text, specific pay amounts beyond the two-month pay reference, or additional implementation dates. Those details were not specified in the public portion of the transcript provided.
Votes and procedural notes recorded in the transcript: Commissioner Randall, Commissioner Ler and Mayor Procortez are explicitly recorded saying “I” during vote sequences; the transcript also records “Austin Randle” saying “I” in a vote sequence when the meeting returned from closed session. The transcript does not attribute the motion mover or the second by name.
What happens next: the commission approved the contract on the record with the two corrections noted. The transcript does not include the final signed contract, effective date, or further implementation steps; those items were not specified in the portion of the record provided.
