Extend city manager contract through 2020 with deferred pay raises
In Plain English
The city manager's current contract expires in February 2016. The new 4-year agreement delays a previously promised 6% salary increase but allows annual 2% raises for up to 3 years. If approved, the city manager also receives additional pay increases when certain performance goals are met.
