STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER � N`
DATE: APRIL 27, 2021
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THIRD AMENDMENT TO CITY CLERK
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
SUMMARY
The City and the City Clerk entered into an Employment Agreement ("Agreement") on April 10,
2018. Section 3 of the Agreement permits the City Council to conduct performance evaluations
and grant increases in salary. Pursuant to Section 3 (A)(2) of the Agreement, the City Council

annual salary to $113,949.06. In addition, the amendment would change the current severance of
9 -month pay and benefits to 12 -months pay and benefits in the event of a not for cause
termination by the City Council.
