DISCUSSION
Council Appointees are subject to annual performance reviews by the City Council, and as with the MPP Program, the Council must approve merit increases for Council Appointees based on job performance. Based on their favorable annual performance reviews, I recommend a 2.5% merit increase for the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Auditor retroactively effective July 1, 2024, and an additional forty (40) hours of executive leave to each of these Council Appointees, consistent with the process that has been implemented for Unit 99 performance evaluations under the MPP Program. I also recommend a 1% merit increase for the City Clerk ROGC AGENDA: 11/13/2024
