Clearlake extends City Manager Alan Flora’s contract for two years

Clearlake — On April 18 the council approved a two-year employment agreement extending City Manager Alan Flora’s term and adopted a change that raises the vote threshold to terminate the city manager without cause during the first year following a council election.

A presenter identified as 'Mister Jones' outlined two contract changes: the term extension (Flor a's contract would now expire in two years) and a provision that, within the first year after a council election, would require a four-fifths council vote to terminate the city manager without cause; termination for cause would remain governed by existing standards. The presenter characterized the new document as a re-draft combining prior contract language.

Council member Kramer moved to approve the employment services agreement; Vice Mayor Overton seconded. Resident Margaret Garcia offered public support for Flora. The motion passed by a unanimous vote.

No fiscal changes or salary details were discussed in the public portion of the meeting; council recorded the approval and asked the city manager to continue providing regular reports and updates.
