A. Approval of Ninth Amendment to City Clerk Employment Agreement and Approval of Salary Schedule Resolution No. 2025-25 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 22, 2025. The City Clerk received a "substantially exceeds expectations" review with a 5 rating. Thereafter, on May 13, 2025 the City Council conducted a Closed Session to negotiate compensation. At that Closed Session the Council directed a contract amendment be presented to the Council providing for a 7% increase, bringing the City Clerk’s total annual base salary from $164,604 to $176,124. As required by Government Code 54953(c)(3) prior to final action on the City Clerk’s salary or compensation and benefits there must be an oral report of the change. The City Attorney will orally report the changes as required. Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions: 1.
