Proposed agreement between Sheryl Sculley
and the City of San Antonio for City Manager position

The proposed agreement between Sheryl Sculley and the City of San Antonio includes the following basic terms:

• Sculley has been offered a base annual salary of $265,000.00 with the same annual expense account ($6,000.00) extended to the last three city managers. In addition, Sculley will be paid a $400.00 monthly car allowance and a $70.00 monthly cell phone allowance. The City will also pay for memberships to several city management associations and municipal leagues, which the Manager is expected to join.
• In order to move her household and family from Phoenix, Sculley will be paid $20,000.00 in two payments within the next year and will be reimbursed for various expenses related to this transition. These relocation expenses include reimbursement for two house hunting trips for the family (total $3,000.00) and up to eight months of temporary living allowance for rent and storage (up to $1,500.00 per month). To visit and help her family with the transition and move to San Antonio, the City will provide a $10,000.00 allowance for Sculley to travel to Phoenix twice a month, for the next 12 months.
• Besides basic insurances and benefits to be paid by the City, the City is working to match Sculley’s current retirement program offered in Phoenix. Because state laws vary, this issue is still not final. The City is committed to participate by placing 15% of the base salary in defined contribution plans, the details for which need to be developed.
• If terminated by the City, Sculley may receive a lump sum payment of twelve months of base salary and continued health insurance coverage for one year.

The Council and Sculley should have finalized contract language by Thursday’s City Council meeting and will take action to approve a written agreement at that time.
