The Kyle City Council renewed the contract of City Manager Scott Sellers on Monday, but the decision was not unanimous.
District 6 Council member Daphne Tenorio was the sole dissenting vote. “I can’t support this,” she said. “Not that I don’t think Scott is doing a good job, I do. I don’t think we can afford it.”
The contract will last through Dec. 31, 2022. Sellers began working for the city in 2017.
In addition to a base salary of $196,503.20, Sellers will receive the same annual increase budgeted to other city employees. He will also receive the same benefits as other municipal workers and be reimbursed for “reasonable expenses” including “gasoline, hotels and accommodations, meals, rental cars and other expenses incurred in the performance of the business of the city.”
Sellers will also see his retirement benefits increase to from $5,000 annually to 21 percent of his salary, or $15,000 per year.
