Motion passes to extend city manager contract to two years with six-month severance for $90,000

A Committee member moved to extend the city manager's contract to a two-year term with a six-month severance package "for $90,000." The Chair seconded the motion; members voted "Aye" and the Chair announced that the motion carried.

The motion was introduced by the speaker identified in the transcript as the Committee member: "I make a motion that we extend this to a 2 year contract with 6 month severance package for $90,000." After a second from the Chair and a voice vote, the Chair recorded the outcome as passed. The transcript does not specify whether the $90,000 figure refers to salary, severance cap, or total contract value beyond the phrasing used in the motion; the article quotes the motion text exactly rather than inferring additional detail.
