Council accepts edits to interim manager contract, removes 48-hour pre-hire notice
Summary
Council and staff agreed to edits to the interim city manager employment agreement that remove a 48‑hour pre-hire notice and add post‑hire notification to the next regular council meeting; language on return-to-position and salary adjustments was clarified.
Council and staff walked through a published draft of the interim city manager employment agreement and agreed on several edits, including how the council will be notified about hires and the appointee’s return-to-position terms.
A staff member proposed deleting a clause that required employees to give at least 48 hours' notice to members of the governing body by email before hiring someone to fill a vacant position. Instead, the staff proposed adding a provision that "If there is an employee hired to fill a vacancy ... employee will notify the governing body prior to or at the next regular city council meeting." Council members indicated consensus to accept those edits.
The contract also clarifies that upon return to his previous assistant city manager position the employee shall be paid at his previous salary rate plus any regular or otherwise approved salary increases applicable to staff; staff further explained that if the interim appointee is terminated without cause within the first six months he would be eligible for two months' severance pay as provided in the draft.
