time necessary to adequately perform his duties as Employee.

exempt position under California wage and hour law. In addition, Employee shall not engage in any business, educational, professional, charitable, or other activities that would conflict or materially interfere with performance of Employee duties (except as may be specifically authorized by the Council).

way for the Council and Employee to ensure effective communications regarding expectations and performance. Accordingly, the Council shall review and evaluate the performance of Employee during the first year of employment from October 5 to November 5, 2026; and thereafter on an annual basis or more frequently if the Council so desires at its discretion.
a. Evaluation Criteria. The evaluation shall be in accordance with
specific criteria developed jointly by the Parties. Such criteria may be added to or deleted as the Council may from time to time determine in consultation with Employee. Employee shall initiate the evaluation in November each year under Council procedures, or as otherwise directed by the Council.
b. Performance Objectives and Priorities. The Parties shall make best
efforts to develop the first set of goals, performance objectives, and priorities by which to measure Employee’s performance within forty-five (45) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Parties shall define such goals and performance objectives as they mutually determine are necessary for the proper operation of City for the attainment of
the Council’s policy objectives, and the Parties shall further establish a relative priority among those goals and performance objectives. Such goals, objectives, and priorities are subject to adjustment by the Parties at any time.
10. Indemnification. City shall defend and indemnify Employee against all losses sustained by Employee in direct consequences of the discharge of City Manager
duties within the scope of his employment for the period of Employee’s employment to the full extent of the law as provided by the California Torts Claims Act (Government Code Section 810 et seq.).
11. Termination
a. At-Will Status. Employee shall serve at the will and pleasure of the
Council. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit, or otherwise interfere with the right of the Council to suspend from duty, remove from office, or otherwise terminate the services of Employee at any time (at the sole discretion of the Council).

Page 6 of 10
b. Automatic Termination. Employee’s employment shall automatically terminate, and Employee shall not be entitled to any severance payment, upon the happening of any of the following events:
(1) Mutual Agreement. Mutual agreement in writing by both Parties to terminate this Agreement.
(2) Resignation. Employee may voluntarily resign his position as Employee after giving City at least sixty (60) days written notice prior to the effective date of such resignation, unless such notice is waived in whole or part by the Council.
(3) Retirement. Employee may up to provide six (6) months’ advance notice of retirement from full-time public service with City pursuant to applicable CalPERS laws, rules, and regulations. Employee’s actual retirement date will be mutually established.
(4) Disability. In the event Employee is permanently disabled or
otherwise unable to perform their essential job functions, even with reasonable accommodations after an interactive process.
(5) Death. If Employee dies, Employee’s estate shall receive accrued salary and benefits; but shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or payment (including severance pay).
c. Termination With or Without Cause. Employee’s employment may
be terminated without prior notice at any time, with or without cause, by the Council by motion carried by a simple majority of its members.
(1) Without Cause (Severance). The Council may terminate Employee at any time, regardless of his ability to perform his duties, upon payment of a
severance equal to the lesser of: (a) payment equal to six (6) months of Employee’s then
applicable base salary; or (2) payment equal to the applicable Base Salary for the unexpired Term of this Agreement (“Severance Payment”).
(a) Continuation of Health Coverage (“COBRA”). City shall provide Employee reimbursement for the costs of Employee’s COBRA health insurance
premiums for three (3) months following Employee’s termination or until Employee finds other employment, whichever occurs first (“COBRA Reimbursement”). The COBRA Reimbursement amount shall not exceed the amount paid for Employee’s health insurance premiums at the time of his termination.
(b) Waiver Release. The Severance Payment and COBRA
Reimbursement are contingent upon Employee executing a release and waiver of any and all of Employee’s claims against City (its Council Members, officers, and employees), and a covenant not to sue any of those parties in a form acceptable to City. If Employee fails or refuses to provide City with a release of liability, the Council may release Employee without cause without Severance Payment or COBRA Reimbursement.

Page 7 of 10
(c) California Government Code Section 53260 (“Section 53260”). The Parties intend this provision to comply with Section 53260, which limits severance benefits to an amount equal to Employee’s monthly salary multiplied by the
number of months remaining on the unexpired term of the Agreement. The Parties also
intend this term to comply with the provisions of Section 53261 that limits health benefits, which may be continued for a maximum number of months remaining on the unexpired term of the Agreement or until Employee finds other employment (whichever occurs first).
(2) With Cause. In the event Employee is terminated for cause,
he shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits. “Cause” shall include the following reasons: (a) conviction of a crime, whether misdemeanor or felony. For purposes of this section, a plea of nolo contendere shall also be considered a conviction; (b) failure to follow a directive of the Council after written notice of said failure to Employee approved by a simple majority of Council members; (c) failure to perform duties and
responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the relevant City ordinances, municipal code, and other standards of professional conduct after written notice approved by a simple majority of the Council; (d) continued abuse of non-prescription drugs or alcohol that materially affects the performance of Employee’s duties after written notice approved by a simple majority of the Council; or (e) repeated and protracted unexcused
absences from Employee’s office and duties after written notice approved by a simple majority of the Council.
(a) With Cause Procedure. In order to terminate for cause, the Council must deliver to Employee a written statement of charges and its intent to terminate for cause. Following delivery, Employee shall then have ten (10) calendar days
to challenge the termination by setting forth his request to challenge in writing. Within such ten (10) day period, Employee may also demand a hearing upon the specifications. Failure to submit a written response or demand a hearing within the ten (10) calendar day period constitutes a waiver of the right. If a hearing is demanded, the hearing will be conducted in closed session unless a public hearing is requested by Employee. Employee
may produce evidence and argument to the Council. If a written response is submitted but no hearing is demanded, the Council shall review its decision based upon the response. The Council’s decision following review of the written response and/or presentation at hearing shall be final and without right of appeal. Employee has no reinstatement rights.
(b) Suspension. The Council may suspend Employee with full pay and benefits at any time, or without pay for a period of up to three (3) weeks, at any time during the term of this Agreement; but only where a simple majority of the Council votes to suspend Employee.
(c) Assembly Bill 1344 Compliance. Employee shall fully
reimburse City for any and all amounts paid by City in the event that Employee is convicted of a crime involving the abuse of his office or position pursuant to California Government Code Sections 53243-53243.4.
Docusign Envelope ID: F63FA34F-B862-46FE-870C-E418B898F353

d. Leave Balances. On separation from City employment, Employee shall be paid for all eligible unused accrued leave balances (including balances as to vacation, floating holidays, and other outstanding accrued leave balances if any; including
any other accrued leave balances that either must be paid upon separation under
applicable law or under the applicable terms of this Agreement). In the alternative, Employee may apply some or all of such leave time to service credit for retirement purposes if permitted by CalPERS under applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Accumulated leave balances shall be paid at Employee’s hourly salary rate at the
effective date of separation. In the event Employee dies while employed by City under
this Agreement, Employee’s beneficiaries or those entitled to City Manager’s estate shall be entitled to Employee’s earned salary and any in-lieu payments for accrued benefits (including compensation for the value of all accrued leave balances that either must be paid upon separation under applicable law or under the applicable terms of this
Agreement).
e. Statutory Requirements. This Agreement shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the provisions of California Government Code Sections 53243
et seq., as those provisions may be amended or renumbered.
12. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder may be
given by personal delivery or by United States certified mail postage prepaid, addressed to Parties at the addresses set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.
13. Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California. Venue shall be in Los Angeles County.
14. Acknowledgment. Employee acknowledges he has had an opportunity to
consult legal counsel in regard to this Agreement; has read and understands this Agreement; is fully aware of its legal effect; and has entered into it freely and voluntarily, and based on his own judgment and not on any representations or promises other than those contained in this Agreement.
15. Non-Waiver. The delay or failure of either Party at any time to require
performance or compliance by the other Party of any of its obligations or agreements shall in no way be deemed a waiver of those rights to require such performance or compliance. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. The waiver of any right or remedy with respect to any occurrence or
event shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to any other occurrence or event, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and
provisions hereof or of the offending provision in any other circumstance; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
