Department Recommendation:
Approve changes to terms and conditions of employment for the City Manager and authorize the Mayor to sign an amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement reflecting a 2.5% salary increase effective the pay period that includes July 1, 2023 and a one-time $1,000 lump sum effective the pay period that begins May 6, 2023.
Background Discussion:
Leslie Caviglia was appointed City Manager on September 4, 2021 and entered into an Employment Agreement at that time. Per Section 3A of the Employment Agreement, the City may from time-to-time adjust the City Manager's salary during the term of the agreement. Historically Council has authorized comparable compensation and benefit changes for the City Manager as it has for the unrepresented bargaining groups.
On May 15, 2023, Council authorized a 2.5% base wage increase for unrepresented and represented bargaining groups and a one-time $1,000 lump sum. The increase was provided in recognition of the City's current positive financial status, the economic conditions impacting employees, and the value of its employees.
Consistent with the salary adjustment Council has approved for employee bargaining groups, it is recommended that Council approve a 2.5% ongoing salary increase for the City Manager effective the pay period that includes July 1, 2023 and a one-time $1,000 lump sum effective the pay period that begins May 6, 2023.
Fiscal Impact:
Increase of $5,711 annually (from $228,448 annually to $234,159)
