BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS

HISTORY, BACKGROUND and  DISCUSSION

Jill Steele has served in her position since 2013, when she acted for a period of months as Interim City Attorney before being selected as full time City Attorney.  Ms. Steele and the City of Battle Creek signed her initial Employment Agreement effective October 15, 2013.  This Agreement was replaced with a new Agreement effective October 1, 2016 and approved by the City Commission.

 

Ms. Steele’s October 2016 agreement provides for a base salary of $114,146.00.  Her Agreement also provides for an annual review of her performance.  If during the review, Ms. Steele receives from the full City Commission a rating of Meets or Exceeds Expectations as set forth in Addendum A of the Employment Agreement, then on the 1st of October of each year, she will receive an increase in her base salary of an amount equal to the cost of living increase given to all non-represented City employees for that year, if one is given.
