CC 11-16-2021 Item No. 14. Draft Resolution approving the City Manager Employment Agreement_Desk ItemRESOLUTION NO. 21 - ________
A RESOLUTION OF THE CUPERTINO CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
CUPERTINO AND
JAMES THROOP CITY MANAGER, AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT
WHEREAS, THE City Council has hired an executive search firm which
conducted an open recruitment to permanently fill the position of City Manager; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to appoint the City Manager subject to
the terms of the At-Will City Manager Employment Agreement (“Employment
Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A;
WHEREAS, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Employment
Agreement have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby
approve the aforementioned Employment Agreement and authorizes the Mayor
to execute said agreement on behalf of the City of Cupertino.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is not a project under the
requirements of the California Quality Act of 1970 and the State CEQA Guidelines
(collectively, “CEQA”) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change
in the environment. In the event that this Resolution is found to be a project under
CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section
15061(b)(3) because the Employment Agreement would have no or only a de
minimis physical impact on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty
that the action does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment, CEQA does not apply. The foregoing determination is made by the
City Council in its independent judgment.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of
Cupertino this 16th day of November 2021, by the following vote:
Members of the City Council
