City renews manager contract with salary increase and stronger severance
Summary
Reed City Council renewed the City Manager's contract for 2025–26, adding a 3.5% cost-of-living increase, 5% longevity merit, $350 vehicle allowance, increased life insurance to $200,000 and severance protection extended from six to twelve months.
Council voted to renew the City Manager's contract for the 2025–26 term, amending the original language to include a 3.5% cost-of-living salary increase and a 5% longevity merit increase. The contract amendments also provide a $350 vehicle allowance, reimbursement for travel beyond a 15-mile radius at the current IRS mileage rate, an increase in city-provided life insurance from $100,000 to $200,000, and an increase in severance compensation from six months to twelve months in the event of termination without cause.
The motion to renew and amend the contract carried by roll call vote with Guiles, Anderlohr, Bailey, Woodside, Nixon and Meinert voting yes and Lupo absent. The renewal follows the closed-session evaluation of the City Manager noted in the minutes; the minutes also record that no decisions were made during the closed session itself.
