Council then discussed the Manager’s contract at the May 12, 2015 Council Meeting and it was agreed that it would come back to them for further discussion in the August timeframe. At its meeting on August 25, 2015, Council requested that the Village Attorney conduct a survey to determine methodologies used by other municipalities in negotiating contracts with their managers. Ms. Cohen has distributed a memorandum to Council with her findings.

The current agreement may be renegotiated or terminated upon written notice by September 1st of the year preceding the end of the Term (September 1, 2015) or be automatically extended for an additional one (1) year.
