Council ratifies executed city manager contract after procedural dispute
Summary
Council debated whether the executed city manager contract had been properly approved and whether ratification was appropriate; after extended procedural argument over access to the contract packet, council voted to ratify the executed agreement.
Council spent significant time reviewing the circumstances around an executed employment agreement for the newly hired city manager. Several members said they had not received or been able to review the contract before execution and called ratification "asking forgiveness after the fact," while others said council had previously approved terms and that the employment offer had been authorized.
The mayor moved to ratify the existing executed document and put the matter to a voice vote: "So I'll move the motion to approve the current existing executed document." After debate the motion passed and the council ratified the contract; members directed staff to circulate the executed contract to all members and to improve procedural controls so future employment contracts are presented and approved before execution.
