City Manager
Finance Director
MEETING DATE: JUNE 15, 2010
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KRISTI RECCHIA, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF INTERIM CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY:
William A. Huston, the City Manager since 1981, has provided the City Council with his intent to retire in
July. The City has initiated a process to begin an executive search for a new City Manager. We anticipate a
limited period of time between the City Manager's retirement and the appointment of his replacement and
suggest Mr. Huston remain as a part-time employee continuing to serve as City Manager.
RECCOMENDATION:
Authorize the appointment of William A. Huston as City Manager on a part-time basis effective July 19, 2010
through September 30, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approximately $54,500 for 2010-11 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Mr. Huston's has provided notice of his retirement effective July 17, 2010. The City has initiated the process
to begin a search for his replacement. We anticipate the appointment of a new City Manager near the end of
September.
To assist in the transition period, I am suggesting that Mr. Huston remain employed as City Manager on a
part-time basis for an additional three months (approximately 11 weeks). It is proposed that his
compensation be set as an hourly rate of $165. He would not receive any additional benefits other than the
continued use of his City provided vehicle and cellular phone. It is proposed that Mr. Huston work up to thirty
hours per week during this interim period.
The continuation of Mr. Huston's employment as City Manager will allow for the most efficient and effective
transition period for the organization. The City is currently handling a number of significant projects and Mr.
Huston has the greatest amount of expertise in assisting the City through these areas. His valued service to
Tustin will be an asset in transitioning the new City Manager into our organization.
