Denison council reviews post-election protection language for city manager and clerk
Summary
Council discussed sample contract language, provided to Garcia by the League of Cities, that would limit termination of the city manager and city clerk within a set period following city elections; council members expressed openness to review sample clauses and directed staff to bring sample language.
At a May 20 planning session, Denison City Council reviewed sample contractual language intended to limit termination of the city manager and the city clerk within a set period after municipal elections.
Garcia reported receiving materials from the League of Cities indicating that some municipalities adopt employment provisions preventing termination of a city manager or city clerk within a specified timeframe following an election. Council members said they were open to reviewing sample language and asked staff to provide examples for further consideration.
The council did not take formal action on contract language during the session. The record does not specify the exact duration such clauses would cover or whether changes would apply retroactively; council members requested sample language for future review.
With no further business the planning session adjourned at 7:25 p.m.; the meeting minutes are attested by Mayor Pamela Soseman and City Clerk Jodie Flaherty.
