RESOLUTION NO.2021-167
RESOLUTION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY MANAGER'S EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT
This Amendment is made and entered into by and between the City of Brooklyn Center, a Minnesota
municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "City") and Reginald M. Edwards (hereinafter
referred to as the "City Manager") as of the 13th day of December 2021.
WHEREAS, the City wishes to engage the services of the Manager as a professional employee; and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions of their relationship in this contract
in order to assure the requisite flexibility to enable the Manager to function as the City's chief administrative
official; and
WHEREAS, the nature of the Manager's position requires continued professional training and
attendance at meetings during evenings and other non-traditional work times; and
WHEREAS, the parties established that the Manager shall be provided with a City owned vehicle
for traveling to and from work; and
WHEREAS, after further evaluation of providing the Manager with a City owned vehicle the
following findings were discovered:
1. City Insurance exposure for use of company vehicle is 24/7 regardless of personal or business
use. Allowance does not create liability exposure.
2. Tax effect of mileage to City payroll tax is $1,716 per year vs. allowance of approximately
$460
3. Additional Central Garage vehicle requires additional work for Public Works and Finance to
track repairs, overhead, and replacement.
4. HR would need to track mileage on commuting vehicle for imputation of income requiring
additional staff time.
5. Purchasing vehicle requires large up -front cost, allowance is more predictable and easier to
budget.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above -mentioned findings, the City and Manager
agree the Employment Agreement is amended as follows:
Section 8. Compensation
C) In lieu of the City providing a vehicle for use by the Manager, the Manager shall receive an annual car
allowance in the amount of $6,000 annually.
