and upon adoption by City Council of a resolution ratifying the tenns and conditions of this
offer. If you accept this offer and are duly appointed as Interim City Manager, your duties,
responsibilities and powers will be governed by the Constitution of Virginia, the Charlottesville

Charlottesville (1990), as amended.

       If you choose to accept this offer, the terms and conditions of your employment as
Interim City Manager will be as follows:

        1.      As Interim City Manager, you will be paid an annual salary of $205,000.00,
payable in bi-weekly installments (26 pay periods per year) at the same time and in the same
manner as other employees of the City. You will be eligible to receive the same raises in pay or
cost of living salary adjustments provided to other employees of the City.

        2.      You will be eligible for the City's standard benefits package for full-time
employees who hold senior level positions. The benefits package includes options for annual
leave, sick leave, paid holidays, retirement benefits, health insurance, life and disability
insurance, and flexible spending accounts. Insurance coverage for your wife and dependents is
available for the cost of the premium but is not subsidized.

        3.     The City will reimburse you for, or pay directly, direct expenses you incur in
performing services on behalf of the City. The City will also provide you with a parking space
adjacent to City Hall (either a reserved space, or a space within the Market Street parking garage,

       4.     The City will reimburse you for, or pay directly, training, travel and subsistence
expenses associated with official City business, including meetings and conferences adequate to
continue your professional development, within annually budgeted limits.

        13.    Nothing in this agreement precludes or restricts you from seeking or accepting
continued employment with the City after a permanent City Manager Takes Office, in a different
position, including, without limitation, as a deputy city manager.
