Summary Title: Amendment to City Attorney Employment Agreement
Title: Approval of Amendment No. Two To Employment Agreement between
the City of Palo Alto and City Attorney Molly S. Stump, to Increase Annual
Compensation by 5 Percent, from $234,936 to $246,688
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Human Resources
Recommendation
The Council Appointed Officer Committee recommends that Council approve Amendment
Number Two to the employment contract of City Attorney Molly S. Stump to increase her
annual salary by 5%, from $234,936 to $246,688 effective July 1, 2014.
Discussion
The Council Appointed Officer Committee recommends that Council amend City Attorney Molly
Stump’s employment contract to approve the following change:
Increase the annual salary by 5% from $234,936 to $246,688 effective with the pay period
including July 1, 2014. The recommendation is based on a merit increase for Ms. Stump’s
performance in fiscal year 2014.
The Committee recommends that no other changes to the contract be made. In addition, no
other salary increases will apply, as the City Attorney is not eligible to receive salary increases
provided through the Management and Professional Compensation Plan.
Resource Impact
Sufficient funds are available in the City Attorney’s FY 2015 budget for the additional cost.
Environmental Review
Approval of this amended employment agreement will not result in any environmental impact.
