City council takes second look at leader’s contract

Kyle city leaders are planning to introduce a renegotiated contract later this month for City Manager Scott Sellers several weeks after a previous proposed deal ignited a firestorm of controversy.

Kyle Mayor Todd Webster said the new deal, which will be an agenda item at the Jan. 17 city council meeting, is a “very simple” contract structured from city manager contracts in neighboring cities.

“Given the reaction of the other contract, we decided to try and take the path that the community would be most accepting of,” Webster said.
