IT IS BECOMING CLEAR:
City Manager Tom Schwab's Contract Changes this year included a stipulation that if he were terminated not at his choosing he will be paid IN CASH for all his unused SICK LEAVE, AND get one year Medical Insurance. SICK LEAVE is not an EARNED RIGHT the same as Vactation LEAVE. IT is HOPED no one needs to use SICK LEAVE.
WAS this stipulation added because he expects he will be terminated by a New City Council and he USED the current City Council to ease the pain of losing a Job that provides a House, an Income of 150.000/ per year and full benefits?
Isn't he Special. Don't we all wish we could write ourselves such a deal with our employers and have it accepted. He renegotiated his contract, EVEN after obviously telling them false information. HE is good at seeing to his interests.
Given recent accounting "flexibility", one must wonder how many days of leave have been used and not recorded. Is the golden good by of paying for unused leave bloated? How much will it cost the City to Rid us of his "Management" under this skillfully negotiated "Contract"?
Perhaps there is a way to challenge this labor contract. Perhaps it is not a termination if He is in Jail and can't come to work? What will it take?
