Council approves an 8% temporary pay increase for acting city manager amid public concerns
Summary
The council approved an 8% temporary compensation increase for Terrence Davis while he serves as acting city manager. Public commenters criticized the item; staff cited municipal code authority for temporary appointment and HR confirmed the adjusted monthly pay.
The Brentwood City Council voted unanimously on June 23 to grant Terrence Davis an 8% temporary salary increase above his assistant city manager pay while he serves as acting city manager. Human Resources Director Teresa Fairbanks told the council the change memorializes the council—ormal appointment and ensures compensation is consistent with the additional responsibilities.
Public reaction: Several public commenters questioned whether an assistant should receive extra pay to perform duties that are part of the job description and raised unrelated allegations about personnel decisions. City Attorney and HR staff noted the municipal code authorizes temporary or acting manager appointments in the absence or disability of the city manager, and the resolution was framed as memorializing that designation.
Financial detail: HR reported the resulting monthly amount after the 8% increase as $23,693.41 and said payroll and CalPERS reporting will be confirmed with finance and HR. Councilmembers publicly thanked Davis for stepping into the role and approved the temporary compensation by roll call.
Next steps: HR and finance will confirm payroll processing and CalPERS reporting requirements; the increase was described as temporary pending further personnel decisions.
