Council to consider employment agreement for prospective city manager Jenny Short after closed-session direction

The council reported out of closed session that it had given its labor negotiators direction to finalize an employment agreement with prospective city manager Jenny Short. "That direction was to move forward with the open session item that's on your agenda tonight to approve an employment agreement between the city and Jenny Short with the compensation including, all fringe benefits as stated in that employment agreement," the city attorney said.

Mayor Swatsky confirmed there would be no public comment on a report out of closed session. The city attorney's statement established that the council’s next step in open session would be formal consideration of the employment agreement and the appointment; the record provided the terms would include the fringe benefits enumerated in the draft agreement. The transcript excerpt ends before any formal vote on that agenda item was recorded.
