Commission removes interim title and sets clerk pay to prior clerk's salary
Summary
After debate over timing and fairness relative to a citywide wage study, the commission removed the "interim" title from the city clerk and directed staff to align the clerk's salary with the previous clerk's pay, with contract language to be revised to match referendum timing.
The commission considered an employment agreement to remove the interim designation from the city clerk's position. City Attorney guidance and commissioner discussion focused on how a pending charter referendum could affect the clerk's reporting structure; staff said the contract would be drafted to align with the referendum outcome.
Commissioner McGurk proposed and later refined a motion to remove "interim" status and set the city clerk's salary equal to the departing clerk's last salary. The motion passed after discussion about waiting for a completed wage study for any broader pay adjustments, and the city attorney agreed to revise contract term language to match the special-election schedule. Commissioners also discussed a previously proposed $5,000 increase but ultimately approved making the salary consistent with the prior clerk's pay to avoid conflict with the ongoing city wage study.
