NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
As result of the performance evaluation and review of city manager compensation for municipalities similar in size and responsibility, the City’s City Council and City Manager now desire to amend the Employment Agreement, as follows:

Increases in Manager’s Base Salary may be effective at any time in the sole discretion of the City Council.

All costs of the executive coach shall be budgeted and paid by the City. If the costs exceed the City Manager's purchasing authority, the additional costs shall be approved by the City Council II. Remaining Provisions. Except as specifically set forth in this First Amendment, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
