& Organizational Excellence  \nAGENDA ITEM:  \nAPPROVAL OF A SEPARATION AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY  \nRECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:  \nA motion to approve the proposed separation agreement entitled \"Release and Agreement\"between Moses Garcia and the City of Loveland to authorize the Mayor to execute the separation agreement on behalf of the City Council  \nOPTIONS:  \n\n| COUNCIL ACTION OPTIONS | CONSEQUENCE |\n| --- | --- |\n| Approve the Motion | The separation agreement would be approved for execution by the Mayor on behalf of the City Council and the City Attorney's resignation from the City will be effective, April 2, 2024. |\n| Deny the motion or take no action | The City Attorney will continue to be employed by the City. |\n| Adopt a Modified Action | The City Attorney may need additional time to consider a modified action which may delay execution of the separation agreement or cause a separation agreement not to be executed in which case Moses Garcia would continue in the position of City Attorney. |\n| Refer back to Staff | The City Attorney would continue to be employed by the City. |\n\nSUMMARY:  \nPurpose: The City Attorney is proposing an amicable separation of employment from the City to support the City Council's desire for changes in executive leadership.  \nObjective: The separation agreement is being proposed to support City Council and their desire to reflect a new policy direction for the City following the November 2023 City Council elections.  \nImpact: The City Council will be able to select a City Attorney to reflect a change in leadership in the City and demonstrate City Council’s new policy direction. Under the current City Attorney Employment Contract,  \nupon termination of the City Attorney for any other reason than \"for cause\" the City would be obligated to provide a total amount equal to four months’ salary.  \nThe Agreement under consideration proposes 12-months' pay and payment in the amount of 8% of the 12-months as an equivalent to retirement contributions, as well as the equivalent cost of benefits, and additional previously unused vacation in the amount of 822 hours. The Agreement proposes the payments be made based on the City Attorney's 2023 annual rate of pay, $215,001 .07, prior to the reduction of pay to $200,000 . 11, occurring in 2024. The final pay would also include payouts to which an employee is entitled, including prorated floating holiday hours. The following demonstrates the difference, which is a total of $213,398 .88.  \nSeparation Payments applicable per Termination Under Current Contract Provisions and Current Rate of Pay:  \n4 Months Pay  \nVacation (640 hours) Pro-rated Floating Holiday TOTAL:  \n$65,384.65  \n$61,538.50  \n$710.06 $127,633.21  \nSeparation Payments applicable per Proposed Agreement  \nCouncil Follow-up:  \nProvisions:  \n12 Months Pay  \nEquivalent Retirement Contribution 8%  \n12 Months Medical & Dental Vacation (additional 182 hours)  \nVacation (640 per policy) Pro-rated Floating Holiday TOTAL:  \nN/A  \n$215,001.07 $17,200.09 $23,100.84 $18,812.59 $66,154.18  \n$763.32  \n$341,032.09  \nBUDGET IMPACT:  \n\n| Budgetary Impact? | Funds Impacted: General Fund |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | Source(s) of Funding: Personnel Budget |\n| Grant Funding? | Grantor(s) (State or Fed): N/A |\n|  | City Matching Requirement: N/A |\n|  | On-going or One-Time: N/A |\n|  | If On-going, when does the grant sunset?
