AGENDA ITEM: Interim City Manager Compensation
DATE: September 8, 1999
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, City Manager
BACKGROUND: The previous City Manager resigned effective January 12, 1999,
and I was appointed to fill the position of City Manager on an
interim basis. At that time, I offered to work in that capacity with
no additional compensation. I erroneously believed that I would be
able to do the City Manager work on a part-time basis... just
enough to keep things on track while the City was seeking a
replacement for Mr. Jarboe. I also believed that the hiring process
for a replacement would only take a few months. Since that time,
the City Manager position has dominated my professional and
personal life.
I do not intend to present a detailed argument for additional
compensation. The City Commission is well aware of my work
over the past nine months.
I am requesting additional compensation at the rate of 10% of my
base pay, retroactive to January 12, 1999, and continuing until the
new City Manager is hired. This ten percent is consistent with
promotional increases in the Police Department. Funding is
available in the current Police Budget for 1998-99 to cover the
additional costs.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve additional pay for the Interim City Manager at 1.0% of his
base pay, retroactive to January 12, 1999, and continuing until a
new City Manager is hired.
