| | | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: | City Manager Steven Rudolph recently announced he is retiring, and is resigning from City service effective September 18, 2020. The City is actively recruiting for a permanent appointment to the City Manager position. However, there will be a vacancy in the position of City Manager following Mr. Rudolph’s retirement. Council is interested in appointing Police Chief Chad Butler to the position of Interim City Manager during the recruitment process and Chief Butler is willing to perform such responsibilities, while continuing to serve as the City’s Police Chief.
The attached resolution and employment agreement set forth the terms of the Interim City Manager appointment. The appointment is effective September 19, 2020 for a period of up to six months, or until the City Council appoints a new permanent City Manager, whichever occurs first. Chief Butler will receive a temporary increase in pay of ten percent of his base salary during the Interim City Manager assignment, for a total annual base salary of $249,679.10.
