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.
