City manager directed to review municipal-judge contract and issue RFP for candidates
Summary
The commission directed the city manager to review and recommend updates to the municipal-judge contract and to issue a search or RFP for potential candidates; commissioners cited ambiguous contract terms that may not favor the city.
The commission authorized the city manager to review the municipal-judge contract and make recommendations for revised terms, and to conduct a search or issue an RFP for potential candidates for the municipal-judge role. The city manager said the existing contract contains clauses that may not be in the city's best interest (for example, payments when a judge cancels) and recommended a review even if the commission elects to keep the current judge.
Commissioners agreed the contract should be updated to remove ambiguities and to ensure termination-for-cause language and other protections are clear. The motion to authorize the city manager to pursue contract updates and candidate search was moved, seconded and approved.
