The Sacramento City Council is expected to approve a contract Tuesday to pay new Interim City Manager Bill Edgar $46,800 for a three-month period.
If the City Council extends the contract, Edgar will earn $15,600 per month for his work for the city.
Edgar and Betty Masuoka started work as temporary city leaders on April 9. The City Council chose Edgar to be interim city manager and Masuoka to be interim deputy city manager on April 7. The pair will manage the city while the City Council searches for a permanent city manager.
The contract relates to Edgar’s employment and does not specify Masuoka’s pay. However, Edgar said Monday that Masuoka will earn $100 per hour.
The city is not paying benefits to Edgar and Masuoka, Edgar said. They will save the city money “or at least be cost-neutral,” Edgar said.
From 1993-1999, Edgar served as Sacramento’s city manager. Masuoka previously worked in the posts of assistant city manager and finance director for the city.
Edgar also said the city won’t need to pay payroll taxes for him because the city will be contracting with his company, Edgar and Associates, LLP, for his services. Contracts with the city don’t involve payroll taxes, Edgar explained.
“We want to get a permanent city manager on board as quickly as possible,” he said.

The City Council is expected to discuss the qualities it wants in a permanent city manager at its weekly Tuesday night meeting.

Making appointment of Bill Edgar and Betty Masuoka unanimous, was the mayor's best vote since his election. Now city can save the "head hunter" fee and apply it to legal fees we'll need to sue the Maloofs. Why waste money looking for management talent we already have? The mayor is now free to focus on bringing a Jewish Deli to the central city. (How can there be a 'world class city" without a Jewish Deli?)
