City Council Meeting Minutes August 16, 2016 Page 9 of 12 DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION — NINTH AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (CITY MANAGER MALCOLM FLEMING) Mayor Muckle stated the City Council met in executive session two weeks earlier to discuss the performance of City Manager Fleming. Mayor Muckle stated he and City Manager Fleming met to discuss the results of the evaluation. City Attorney Light stated that with each annual review period the City Council provides an evaluation as required by the City Charter. This is followed by an annual contract with the City Manager. Following the review, the Council arrives at a proposed new contract for the next year. This year's agreement proposes a base salary increase of 3% with no other changes to the document. Mayor Muckle asked for public comment. There was no public comment. Mayor Muckle moved to approve the Ninth Amended Employment Contract. Councilmember Maloney seconded the motion. Councilmember Leh stated the Citizen Survey this year showed that our residents are very happy and that reflects City Manager Fleming's management of the City. Roll call vote, all in favor. City Manager Fleming thanked the Council and staff as well as the residents and businesses for their confidence in him. He noted in Louisville people really do work together to build a tremendous community. US 36 MAYORS AND COMMISSIONERS COALITION AND 36 COMMUTING SOLUTIONS POLICY AGENDA — MOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Muckle noted the US 36 Mayors and Commission Coalition (MCC) has worked collaboratively over the years on US 36 upgrades and is now expanding to a broader geographic area with the Northwest Area Mobility Study. He stated the MCC previously was focused on federal issues, but is focusing more on the local and state roads that need attention. This proposed policy agenda reflects those needs and is designed to give the MCC state lobbyist direction during the legislative session. He stated there has been a great deal of work and compromise on this document among the various entities along the US 36 Corridor. Councilmember Stolzmann asked what approving this means for the City. Mayor Muckle stated all MCC members are being asked to approve this so it is clear that everyone in the coalition is in support of the goals. The hope is these policy statements are broad enough for all the communities to get behind. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if this replaces or changes the City's own legislative agenda. Mayor Muckle stated it does not.
