Council increases town manager vacation cap to prevent forfeiture
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Resolution 2617 to amend the town manager's employment agreement, raising the vacation leave cap from 300 to 400 hours after staff and counsel explained the rationale and comparables.
Town Attorney Benjamin (S14) presented a proposed first amendment to the town manager's employment agreement to increase the vacation-leave cap from 300 to 400 hours, explaining the manager had requested the change to prevent accrual loss caused by a heavy workload. Benjamin said many city managers in Marin carry similar caps and noted that other jurisdictions permit some vacation buyback; the council discussed comparables and then unanimously adopted Resolution 2617 to approve the amendment.
Council members praised the town manager's work and encouraged the manager to take the additional leave; staff noted the change prevents involuntary forfeiture of earned leave and aligns the town with common practice in the county.
