COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
~g GN
DATE: . December 21, 2004
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: GARY ROGERS, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN
OF LOS GATOS AND THE TOWN MANAGER AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO SIGN AMENDMENT ON BEHALF OF TOWN OF LOS
GATOS
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos amending agreement between
the Town of Los Gatos and the Town Manager and authorizing the Mayor to sign amendment on
behalf of Town of Los Gatos.
DISCUSSION:
The Town Council agreement with the Town Manager provides for an annual performance
evaluation and possible salary adjustments. Based upon a review of the Town Manager's
performance between November 9, 2003 and November 6, 2004, a one-time non-reoccurring bonus
of $5,000 shall be made effective January 7, 2005. All other terms and conditions of the agreement
between the Town Manager and the Town of Los Gatos shall remain in full force and effect.
In an effort to set an example and help address the budgetary shortfall, the Town Manager voluntarily
declined a salary adjustment in 2003. Further, the Town Manager has not received any increase in
the Town-paid health insurance since 2002. A one-time bonus does not increase base salary, yet
reflects the Council's desire to recognize the performance of the Town Manager. The bonus is in
recognition of the positive impact the Town Manager has made on the Town operations. It is similar
in nature to the Exceptional Contribution Pay Program provided to other Town management
personnel.
