A. Approval of Seventh Amendment to City Clerk Employment Agreement and Approval and Adoption of Salary Schedule Resolution No. 2024- 20 The City and the City Clerk entered into an Employment Agreement (" Agreement") on April 10, 2018. Section 3 of the Agreement permits the City Council to conduct performance evaluations and grant increases in salary. Pursuant to Section 3( A)(2) of the Agreement, the City Council conducted the City Clerk' s performance evaluation on April 23, 2024. The City Clerk received a " substantially exceeds expectations" review with a five rating. As the City Clerk is subject to the same benefits as the Executive Management Group, a substantially exceeds expectations review entitles the City Clerk to a 7%- 9% salary increase in this case the increase being proposed is 9%, bringing the City Clerk' s total annual base salary from $ 133, 286 to $ 145, 282. In addition, a 3% Cost of Living Adjustment ( COLA) adjustment is scheduled for all City employees effective July 1, 2024, which would bring the salary to $ 149, 641. In order for the increase in the performance evaluation and COLA to apply to the City Clerk, the City Council must approve an amendment to her contract.

Approve the granting of a 9% salary merit increase for a " substantially exceeds expectations" performance evaluation effective April 23, 2024, and a 3% COLA increase effective July 1, 2024, and authorize the Mayor to execute the Seventh Amendment on behalf of the City Council to reflect the increase. 2.
