… It is the desire of the City Council (1) to secure the services of the Manager and to provide inducement for him to remain in such employment, (2) to make possible full work productivity by assuring Manager’s morale and peace of mind with respect to future security, and (3) to provide a just means for terminating Manager’s services at such time as he may be unable to fully discharge his duties, within the discretion of the City Council, due to disability, or when the City may desire to otherwise terminate his employment;
… The Manager’s employment is probationary for six months. Should the City Council terminate the Manager’s employment for other than cause, the Manager shall receive a cash payment equal to two calendar months of compensation if the termination occurs after three months but before six months of employment. The City Council may evaluate the Manager’s performance before the end of the probationary period.
This Agreement may be terminated and the Manager removed from office by the Council pursuant to Section 228 of the City Charter. Unless the Manager is removed for just cause, the Manager shall receive severance benefits as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement. Upon termination for just cause, the Manager shall not be entitled to salary or severance benefits after termination other than accrued vacation.
In the event the Manager is terminated by the City Council for other than cause, the City agrees to pay the Manager within 30 days of said termination a cash payment equal to two calendar months of compensation and all unused, accrued vacation time.
In the event the Manager voluntarily resigns his position with the City, then the Manager shall give the City not less than 30 days written notice in advance. … If the Manager voluntarily resigns, he shall not be entitled to salary after the effective date of the resignation or to severance benefits, except he shall be paid for accrued, unused vacation and any sick days which have accrued and which other management employees receive.
