Summary

Council approved amendments extending the city manager and city attorney employment agreements to January 2029 and increasing their annual salaries as presented by staff, with changes adopted by voice/roll call.

The council approved two consent-calendar contract amendments on March 18, extending the terms of the city manager and city attorney and increasing annual compensation.

Staff summarized the proposed changes under a Brown Act statement: the city manager's employment agreement would be extended to Jan. 30, 2029, with annual salary increased to $317,312; the city attorney's agreement would be extended to January 2029 with total annual salary at $300,030 and a new fringe benefit provision mirroring the city manager’s contract. “These amendments were made to bring these positions in line with other peers and to reflect the addition of new duties and responsibilities,” staff said.

Council moved and approved each item separately by voice vote. No additional public comment was requested for the two personnel items. The items will be reflected in the city’s personnel records and budget for ongoing administration.
