Emporia Council approves one-time $10,000 bonus for city manager
Summary
After a closed-session review of personnel matters, City Council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance authorizing a one-time $10,000 bonus for City Manager William E. Johnson III to be processed by the finance director under Code of Virginia authority.
City Attorney Eric A. Gregory presented an ordinance authorizing a one-time $10,000 bonus for City Manager William E. Johnson III pursuant to the Code of Virginia during the council’s regular session May 19 after a closed meeting.
The ordinance authorizes the Finance Director to process and pay the bonus in accordance with payroll procedures and withholding requirements. Council moved to adopt the ordinance and recorded a unanimous roll-call vote in support.
Why it matters: One-time personnel bonuses are a public expenditure distinct from salary and merit processes; the ordinance cites statutory authority for the payment and directs the finance department to execute payroll processing.
What’s next: Finance will process the payment and withhold required payroll taxes; the action was recorded in the meeting minutes by roll call.
