The City Charter Section 500 authorizes the City Council to appoint a City Manager. The City

is responsible for the administration of all City affairs.
In May 2011, the City's long standing City Manager retired and the City Council appointed Police

and responsibilities during this interim appointment and the City Council is now desirous of
appointing Mr. Walters on a permanent basis.
In addition, the City Council wishes to simultaneously assign Mr. Walters the duties and
responsibilities of Police Commissioner, a position that creates and reinforces collaborative
relationships with regional, state and federal agencies. Police Commissioner functions are
performed through the office of the City Manager and are not additionally compensated.
The proposed Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A, is for an initial
three (3) year term and shall automatically renew, unless terminated at the direction of the City
Council, for two (2) separate one-year terms without further action from the Council. The
agreement allows Mr. Walters to perform all the functions and duties of a city manager as
specified in the City Charter, and in addition pursuant to City Charter Section 700 simultaneously
