Clayton council approves $10,000 one-time bonus for town manager after closed session
Summary
Following a closed session May 18, the council returned to open session and approved a one-time $10,000 performance bonus for the town manager; council also clarified SRO coverage questions during public comment.
After a closed-session meeting to discuss legal, real property and personnel matters, the Clayton Town Council returned to open session on May 18 and approved a one-time $10,000 bonus for the town manager based on the latest performance evaluation. Mayor Pro Tem Andra Archer moved the bonus and the council seconded and voted in favor of the payment.
Earlier in the meeting, a resident asked why East Clayton Elementary was not listed among schools for town-funded school resource officers. Staff and council explained that East Clayton Elementary is not annexed into the town and is therefore served by county law enforcement and county-funded SRO coverage rather than town officers.
The council also formally voted to enter closed session earlier in the meeting to address the legal, property and personnel matters; it cleared the chambers for that discussion and reconvened to take the manager bonus vote in open session.
What this means: the council's public record shows approval of a one-time $10,000 bonus for the town manager; the budgetary or payroll accounting steps to implement that bonus were not detailed on the public record at this meeting.
