The regularly scheduled City Council Meeting on the fourth Tuesday was cancelled due to lack of quorum. This was known in much advance so the Council Meeting was scheduled for Wednesday.
The agendas include a Joint Meeting between the Arts Commission and City Council, approving the allocation of $140,000 for repayment of CDBG funds in regards to the former homeless shelter location (400 B Street), and approving the employment agreement between the new City Manager Roy Wasden and the City of Turlock.
Roy Wasden’s proposed contract includes an annual salary of $202,296.00, $500/month car allowance, $100/month technology stipend (phone, computer, etc), immediate 80 hours of sick leave and 160 hours of vacation, and provisions for a severance package totaling 9-12 months worth of pay.
