The Red Bank City Commission this week postponed a vote on departing City Manager Tim Thornbury’s employment agreement until next week.
Mayor Hollie Berry said she wanted to give commissioners more time to review an amended agreement emailed to commissioners just before this week’s Tuesday meeting, which was called to vote on several matters related to the city manager position.
Only Commissioner Ruth Jeno voted against tabling the vote, stating that she did not want to put off the decision any longer.
On April 26 a majority of the commission voted to accept the terms of Thornbury’s voluntary resignation, including paying him his full $110,000 annual salary and benefits to serve as a consultant on an as-needed basis until next March.
According to that agreement, Thornbury’s last day as city manager would have been May 7, with his consulting duties beginning May 8.
