Summary
The city council approved an employment agreement and unanimously appointed Rick A. Holmbaum as interim city manager; Holmbaum said he intends to report to work Monday morning and said he has a contract understanding with the city attorney.
The city council moved to approve an employment agreement and appointed Rick A. Holmbaum as interim city manager after a short review of his application and contract.
A council member said, "I move to approve the employment agreement and appoint for Holmbaum as interim city manager." The motion was seconded and approved on a roll-call vote with three ayes, after which the chair announced the appointment had passed.
Holmbaum spoke briefly before and after the vote, saying he would serve "for the length of time that this council so decides" and that he had been "in good communications with your city attorney" and had reached an understanding about the contract after a few clarifying questions. He later said, "I intend to, report to work Monday morning." Council members welcomed him and offered transition support.
The council did not record additional debate in the transcript beyond confirmation that members had reviewed the applicant materials and found no issues. The appointment follows a formal motion and roll-call vote taken during the meeting; the chair declared the motion approved.
