Any final action on the proposed compensation must be taken in open session.

performance evaluation process and in labor negotiations with the City Attorney. It has been the City’s custom for many years to appoint the labor negotiators prior to reviewing the City Manager’s and City Attorney’s performance. Doing so allows the negotiators to have compensation discussions with the City Manager and City Attorney during or after the review process. At the end of the process, the representatives will report their recommendations to the City Council in open session. The last time such committees were convened was 2024; the two designated labor negotiators for the City Manager were Councilmembers Josey and McCorriston, and the two designated labor negotiators for the City Attorney were Mayor Hernandez and Vice Mayor Qaadri.
