Subject: Employment Agreement Content
Dear Mayor:
Based on our conversation yesterday I offered to write and tell you the standard content
of a city manager contract from my perspective. These are the items that are unrelated to
the other provisions of the employment agreement such as term of office, ethics,
severability etc. These items are what I referred to as the "normal" that I seek.
The list includes the following:
• Compensation - 175K per annum
• Health Insurance effective April 1, 2019 same as all other employees • Dental - same as
all employees, but effective November 1, 2018.
• Disability- same as all employees from day one • Life Insurance - same as all employees
from day one • Auto Allowance - $500 per month � Retirement- ICMA recommends both
access to the employee pension plan and deferred compensation (457k). I don't have to
have both so long as one is reasonable. If you only want me to have access to 457k you will
need to verify that the VOT General Employee plan allows particular positions to be
excluded. Most are not written that way. You can amend the plan for that purpose.
• General Business Expense - I only foresee the need for a cell phone stipend if other
legi�imate business expenses are reimbursed to me such as for travel expenses on Village
business.
• Severance Pay
• Bonding paid by employer
� Professional Development- I am a member of the ICMA, FCCMA, PBCCMA and the Urban
Land Institute. I usually, but not always, go to at least one conference per year. Only ICMA
and FCCMA have conferences.
I have no qualms about evaluations. It has always been a given for me in my career as a
city manager and when I was an assistant and Deputy. I am OK with 3 month, 6 month 1
year and each year thereafter.
What I have listed above is per the ICMA. Therefore, it is not unusual and you are likely see
the same requests form any professional manager. In addition, this will save you money
over what you are currently paying.

the entire Village Council. Thanks.

Mayor:
When reading my email again I realized I left out employee leave. It may go without saying,but I would also
want the same leave as is granted to all employees.
FYI, Pastor Paul and I are meeting for breakfast.
Thanks.
