TITLE:
Consideration and Approval of Contract Amendment: Approval of a contract amendment for the City Attorney effective September 24, 2024.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve City Attorney Contract amendment adding an additional $7,500 to Sterling Solomon's deferred compensation amount annually.
Executive Summary:
City Council approved a contract for the City Attorney effective July 5, 2022, for a term of five (5) years, expiring on July 4, 2027. In September of 2024, the Human Resources Risk Management Director facilitated the City Council's annual performance evaluation of the City Attorney. As a result of the evaluation in which the City Attorney received a high rating of "Consistently Exceeds Expectations", Council agreed to add an additional $7,500 annual deferred compensation contribution to the terms initially agreed upon in addition to the standard merit increase associated with his rating.
Financial Impact:
Expenditures will post to the City Attorney Division. The adoption of the FY 2024-25 budget did not anticipate this increase. Funding will be made up within the City Attorney Division Budget through salary savings from other position or reductions in other costs. If at June 30, 2025 the City Attorney Division budget is over, there may be a Contingency Transfer required to be adopted by City Council.
Policy Impact:
Not applicable.
