What happened
The council approved a $750,000 increase to an environmental consulting contract with Analytical Environmental Services for Point Molate development. The contract amendment passed 4-1, with Willis voting no, as the original agreement ran out of money during environmental reviews of the former naval fuel depot.
A 3-year employment agreement for new City Manager Laura Snideman was approved, setting her annual salary at $255,000. The contract passed 6-1, with Bates casting the lone no vote.
The council created 4 new management positions in city government, establishing official job classifications for Deputy City Manager, Community Development Director, Library and Community Services Director, and Public Works Director. The staffing changes passed with Martinez voting no and Willis abstaining.
The council approved 20 routine items on consent, including a $50 million state loan request for wastewater treatment plant upgrades and $300,000 in community grant fund transfers. Discussion of salary ranges for the new department head positions was continued to a future meeting.
