Council agrees to memorialize outgoing police chief's exit payment of $60,000
Summary
Councilmembers discussed and agreed to draft a resolution to formalize an exit contract for the outgoing police chief, including a proposed $60,000 lump sum payment and any ordinance‑required post‑retirement benefits; the council moved to memorialize terms and to finalize in a resolution at a subsequent meeting.
Councilmembers discussed the previously negotiated exit terms for the departing police chief and whether the payment should be codified into a public resolution. One councilmember moved "to grant the 60,000 in 1 lump sum and any other items that are included in our ordinance that pertain to this subject," and the motion was seconded; roll call followed and the matter moved forward for memorialization in a resolution.
Council members asked staff to confirm ordinance provisions that govern post‑retirement benefits and insurance, and to prepare the formal resolution and budget language. One member noted the funds are available within the current budget and that overtime savings contributed to the internal availability of the funds, but council directed staff to present exact ordinance citations and a draft resolution for formal adoption.
