AGENDA ITEMS A. City Administrator Contract Amendment City Administrator Klaers explained that he has been considering his options and dates for retirement. He indicated that this topic was discussed with the Personnel Committee. He suggested to the Personnel Committee a reduced work schedule (30 hours per week) for the next 12 months that would allow him to continue to work on the TCAAP project while phasing into retirement. He indicated that, per direction from the Personnel Committee, the City Attorney has drafted an addendum to his employment agreement. He requested further comment from the Personnel Committee and the Council. Mayor Grant reported that it was the recommendation of the Personnel Committee to move forward with the reduced work schedule for City Administrator Klaers. He believed that the City would benefit by allowing City Administrator Klaers to remain on staff through the further development of TCAAP as well as having him here while the City transitions to a new City Administrator next year.
