SUMMARY
On June 17, 2025 the City Council appointed Director of Library Services Jayanti Addleman as the Interim City Manager (ICM), effective July 1, 2025. As part of the agreement, parties agreed that ICM Addleman would remain in the position through at least December 31, 2025, and a permanent City Manager would not assume the office prior to that date. Despite the intention of the parties, recruitment for the permanent City Manager role resulted in the appointment of Jennifer Ott to the position prior to the date specified in the agreement. The amended employment agreement reflects the changed agreement between the parties to accommodate the appointment of the permanent City Manager on December 8, 2025.
