Denison council approves $124,500 salary for City Manager after closed sessions
Summary
After two closed sessions, the council approved a salary increase for City Manager Garcia to $124,500 and authorized carryover of unused vacation; one closed-session entry on personnel was carried 3‑1 on a roll call vote.
The Denison City Council on June 3 approved a salary increase for City Manager Garcia to $124,500 and authorized her to carry over unused vacation following two closed sessions.
Council first entered closed session at 6:17 p.m. under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j) to discuss the purchase or sale of particular real estate; the council returned to open session at 6:26 p.m. with no action taken. At 6:31 p.m., the council entered a second closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i) to evaluate the professional competency of an individual; the motion to enter that closed session passed on a 3‑1 roll call (Ayes: Curnyn, Logan, Granzen; Nay: Zupp‑Smith).
Upon returning to open session at 7:41 p.m., the council voted unanimously to increase City Manager Garcia’s salary to $124,500, a figure the council recorder noted is lower than the wage committee recommendation, and to carry over all unused vacation time. The motions were made by Council member Zupp‑Smith and seconded by Council member Logan.
The transcript records the employment actions and the roll‑call vote for entry into the personnel closed session; it does not record other personnel evaluation details discussed in closed session nor the wage committee’s recommended amount.
