2 <br />Xaviera, <br />The purpose of this email is to summarize the conversations you and I have had this week regarding my <br />proposal, additional needs the City has that are not addressed in my original proposal, and a proposed <br />schedule for the processes. <br />Proposed Addendum <br />Based on our conversation, it is my understanding that the City would like me to handle negotiation of <br />salary and benefit changes for the city manager and city attorney following the completion of the <br />performance evaluation processes. This activity was not referenced in the City’s RFP and was not <br />included in my scope of work. I am willing to conduct this additional work for an additional fixed price fee <br />of $5,000. The additional scope of work would read as follows: <br />8. Negotiate Salary and Benefit Adjustments for City Manager and City Attorney <br />Following completion of the performance evaluation processes for the city manager and city <br />attorney, I will negotiate salary and benefit adjustments on their behalf with the City Council. I <br />anticipate that this will involve the following steps: <br />Separate meetings with the city manager and city attorney to ascertain their desired <br />adjustments to compensation and benefits. <br />Coordination with the Human Resources Department, who will collect market data on <br />salaries and benefits for the two positions. I anticipate that the department will also <br />provide information regarding the relationship of current salaries to other positions in the <br />organization, any adopted policies that may exist regarding benchmarking policies to <br />comparison agencies, and any other information relevant to City compensation policies. <br />An initial meeting in closed session with the City Council to present the city manager’s <br />and city attorney’s desired compensation and benefit proposals. If the Council is unable <br />to come to agreement on a proposed response to the appointee’s requests, an additional <br />meeting with the City Council may need to be scheduled. <br />Once agreement has been reached between the City Council and appointees on the <br />parameters of possible compensation adjustments, I will work with the City’s outside legal <br />counsel to draft proposed amendments to the appointee’s contracts and prepare an <br />accompanying report to Council to be placed on a regular City Council agenda. <br />I will attend the City Council meeting to present the report and answer questions from the <br />City Council. <br />Please note that all meetings with the City Council, Human Resources Department, and appointees <br />will be conducted virtually via Zoom or Teams; I will not attend any of these meetings in person. If <br />the City later determines that they would like me to physically attend a meeting, an additional fee of <br />$1,000 plus actual travel expenses to and from Mendocino, California will be charged for each <br />meeting. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 516AF49D-2735-491F-A208-3EC4B34CC4C1
