St. Pete Beach extends city manager’s contract and adds post-election transition clause
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a second amendment to City Manager Frances’s employment agreement to extend the term by two years (to five years total), align cost-of-living adjustments with general employees, and add a 90-day post-election transition period that triggers only when commission composition changes.
The St. Pete Beach City Commission unanimously approved a second amendment to City Manager Frances’s employment agreement on June 23.
In a summary of her evaluation and the requested contract changes, Frances said the amendment would add a two-year extension to her current contract (bringing the total term to five years), align future cost-of-living adjustments with regular employee COLAs considered during the annual budget process, and establish a limited 90-day post-election transition period that would apply only if election or appointment results changed the commission’s composition. Frances said the transition language would only trigger when the composition of the commission changed as a result of an election, appointment or recall.
Commissioners praised Frances’s leadership, process improvements and staff development work. After clarifying language on the post-election trigger with the city attorney, the commission voted 5-0 to approve the amendment.
