Emporia Council authorizes up to $750,000 municipal building renovation and amends city manager contract to pay accrued PTO
Summary
After closed session, council authorized a contract with Stoker Construction not to exceed $750,000 for municipal building renovation and approved a second amendment to City Manager William E. Johnson III’s employment agreement to permit payout of approximately 450 hours of accrued PTO upon termination or retirement.
Following a closed session on personnel, property and contracts, the Emporia City Council returned to open session on Jan. 20 and certified the closed meeting.
Councilman Mark S. Lilly moved and Councilwoman Doris T. White seconded authorization to execute a contract with Stoker Construction for renovation of the municipal building, in an amount not to exceed $750,000. The motion passed by unanimous roll-call vote.
Councilman Clifton Threat moved and Councilwoman White seconded approval of a second amendment to the City Manager’s employment agreement for William E. Johnson III. The amendment revised Section Five of the agreement to provide for payment of approximately 450 hours of accrued paid time off (PTO) upon retirement, resignation, or termination of the contract. That motion also passed unanimously.
The minutes record no further terms of the Stoker Construction contract beyond the not-to-exceed amount and do not specify a project schedule or funding source in the public record. Council did not detail the administrative process for payment of the PTO beyond the contract amendment language stated in the motion.
