MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Brown to approve the amendments to employment contracts with City Attorney Daniel G. Sodergren and City Manager Nelson Fialho. Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Pentin, Mayor Thorne Noes: None Councilmember Testa suggested that in the future, employment contracts should be on the regular agenda instead of on the Consent Calendar. She also recommended that reviews are completed annually. In response to Councilmember Testa's inquiry, Director of Human Resources Gill clarified that Transparent California collects any information paid in a tax year and lumps it together in the annual salary and is not an accurate description of the actual annual salary. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL Councilmember Pentin requested to place on a future agenda an item to ban electronic cigarettes in the City of Pleasanton. City Manager Nelson Fialho informed the council that the Youth Commission is working on bringing this item to council so Councilmember Pentin withdrew the request. COUNCIL REPORTS Councilmember Pentin advised that as a board member of StopWaste he recently received a demonstration of the new recycle app that will be available by year-end. The app will allow a resident to determine if an item can be recycled. Mayor Thorne reported attended at the US Congress of Mayors and noted a tremendous amount of interest in the homeless problem. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:03 p.m. The Council extended a tribute to our nation's men and women serving in the military. We wish to honor the memories of those who have died in past wars in defense of our country, including those who have died in the current conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.
