Renewal of city manager contract
City Council approved a three-year contract for City Manager Bill Brock. The new contract has a base pay of $132,500 and includes possible raises to be approved by the city council.
He also accrues five weeks of vacation per year with any unused vacation leave paid out at the end of each year. The city agreed to make an annual payment of $5,000 into a city-approved deferred compensation plan in addition to insurance and other benefits. Brock has been city manager since 2005.
City considering joining Warren County Tactical Response Unit
Monroe took the first step toward joining a Warren County tactical response team.
Brock said a resolution that saw an approved first reading last week would expand on the current law enforcement agreement to establish a county Tactical Response Unit as a task force under Ohio law, and better define the agreement between the political subdivisions. He said it’s similar to the city’s agreement with the Warren County Drug Task Force. Monroe has been a part of the West Chester Tactical Response Unit since 2015.
