Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps, who was appointed to lead the city in late 2015, will stay in that role for at least another four years with a nearly $40,000 annual raise.
The Glendale City Council on Tuesday voted 6-1 in favor of a new four-year contract for Phelps, with a base salary of $270,000. The contract also includes a monthly vehicle allowance of $450. His base salary was nearly $230,000 previously.
Councilmember Bart Turner was the lone “no” vote. Turner did not explain his vote at the council meeting on Tuesday and told The Arizona Republic that he would not comment on a “personnel issue.”
