ORDINANCE NO. 4253

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 4115 CONCERNING THE SALARY OF THE CITY MANAGER

RECITALS.

In July 2007 the City Council adopted Resolution 110-07. That Resolution appointed Laurie M. Kadrich as City Manager. In September 2007 the City and Ms. Kadrich entered into an employment contract that related back to May 2007, the time when Ms. Kadrich was named Acting City Manager. Corresponding with the first date of her appointment, in May 2008 the Council reviewed Ms. Kadrich’s performance and salary. The City Council determined that Ms. Kadrich’s salary should be increased 3.3%.

Pursuant to the City Charter the salary of the City Manager is set by ordinance. The salary for Ms. Kadrich was most recently established by Ordinance 4115. This Ordinance amends Ordinance 4115 and sets the 2008-2009 salary of Ms. Kadrich as the City Manager.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION:

That the portion of Ordinance 4115 setting the salary of the City Manager is amended, repealed and replaced by this Ordinance and the salary of the City Manager, Laurie M. Kadrich shall be set as of the effective date of this ordinance nunc pro tunc to July 1, 2008 at $154,950.00 per year and as customarily prorated if she serves less than one year, to compensate her for her service to the City of Grand Junction. The balance of Ordinance 4115 and Resolution 110-07 are unchanged.

Introduced on first reading this 4^th day of June 2008.

Passed and adopted on second reading this 18^th day of June 2008.
