paid member contribution for part-time employees in conjunction with a one-time salary
increase of 1%.

agreement that implements this change to the City Manager's compensation.This is a
housekeeping item that is necessary to carry out the City Council's September 20 th
direction to transfer the 6.5%member contribution from the City to employees in exchange
for the one-time 5%salary increase.Additionally,the attached Exhibit B to the proposed
Resolution No.2011-,includes the provision of car allowances to certain employees,
which are identical to the amounts that the City Council approved previously in Resolution
No.2011-45.This provision is necessary because the attached resolution is replacing the
entirety of Resolution No.2011-45.
During its consideration on June 21,2011 of the Restated Employment Agreement
between the City and City Manager,the parties mutually agreed that the City Manager's
employment agreement would be amended to concurrently incorporate the terms and
conditions regarding the pension revision decision that was ultimately made by the City
Council on September 20,2011.The attached draft First Amendment to Restated
Employment Agreement between the City and City Manager incorporates the agreement
that the City will transfer the 6.5%member contribution to the City Manager in exchange
for the one-time 5%salary increase.This proposed amendment is consistent with the
action taken by the City Council on September 20,2011.
