8. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORTS
8.1 Consider adoption of Resolution No. 64-2025, extending and amending the
Employment Agreement of the City Attorney
Town Manager Tai Williams presented the staff report.
Mayor Morgan stated that the Ralph M. Brown Act requires that, before any
agreement specifying salary or compensation for the City Attorney can
become effective, the Town Council must verbally summarize those
changes. Resolution No. 64-2025 would approve an extension and
amendment of the employment agreement for our City Attorney. The
agreement contains the following terms: (1) the term of the agreement
would be extended by one year, from August 1, 2025, until August 1, 2026;
and, (2) the attorney’s salary would be increased by 3%, which equates to
an additional $8,254 in salary and $2,972 in pension contribution, for a total
increase of $11,226. Because the Town has a defined contribution pension
plan, there are no future, unfunded liabilities associated with the
agreement.
