Discuss and consider approving the proposed City Manager Employment Agreement
with Kevin A. Sweet
SUMMARY
At the September 9, 2024 City Commission meeting, the City Commission voted
unanimously (5-0) to select Kevin Sweet as the top candidate to be the City's next City
Manager subject to final approval of a written employment agreement. The City
Commission expressed a desire to have a proposed agreement presented at this
meeting if possible. Since that decision, Mr. Sweet traveled to the City and spent
several days participating in numerous meetings with the Mayor, Commissioners, City
Staff and community stakeholders. During his visit, a draft agreement was also
completed on Friday afternoon. The Agreement proposes a compensation and
benefits package requested by Mr. Sweet, and includes specific provisions for
compensation, executive leave, health, dental, life and disability insurance, retirement
contributions, and auto, technology and other business related expenses (sec. 5
through 11). One- time moving expenses are addressed in Section 14 based on Mr.
Sweet and his family will need to relocate from their current home in Massachusetts.
Additionally, the Agreement is acceptable as to legal form and sufficiency.
The Agreement is presented for the City Commission's consideration and approval at
the Commission's discretion.
If approved, Mr. Sweet's effective date of employment with the City will be December

City of Winter Springs, a Florida municipal corporation, whose address is 1126 E. State Road 434, Winter
Springs, Florida 32708, hereinafter referred to as “City” and Kevin A. Sweet, hereinafter referred to as
“City Manager”, both of whom understand and agree as follows:
WHEREAS, the City is a Florida municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Florida, and whose powers in accordance with section 4.6 of the City Charter are vested in the City

provide for the exercise thereof and for the performance of all duties and obligations imposed on the City
by law; and

Article V, of the City’s Charter for an indefinite term; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has been appointed solely on the basis of executive and

WHEREAS, the City Commission and the City Manager desire to establish those benefits and
conditions of employment regarding the City Manager's employment.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the City
Commission and the City Manager agree as follows:
SECTION 1. EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES
The City Commission hereby appoints and agrees to hire the City Manager, with an effective start
date of December 16, 2024. The City Manager shall be the Chief Administrative Officer, and shall have
the power and authority to perform those duties set forth in the City Charter, and further shall perform
such other duties as may be prescribed by the City Commission which are legally permissible and
consistent with the provisions of the Commission-Manager form of government, as well as the City
Charter, City Ordinances, Policies, and Resolutions of the City Commission.
A. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit, or otherwise interfere with the right of the City
Commission to terminate the employment of the City Manager at any time, subject to the
provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.
B. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit, or otherwise interfere with the right of the City
Manager to resign at any time, subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement.
C. It is recognized that the City Manager must devote a great deal of time on business for the City
that will require him to arrange to be available to perform the duties of his employment not only
during regular business hours of the City, but also at such other times when circumstances warrant
such as attending Commission and other board meetings, handling emergency management and
response situations, and as reasonably requested by the City Commission, and to that end the City
Manager will not have a set work schedule. The City Manager acknowledges that the duties and
hours of the City Manager’s position will be variable and will require work after the City's regular
business hours, and on nights, weekends, and holidays. The City Manager hereby agrees that he
1363
Page 2 of 9
shall faithfully and fully devote, on a full-time basis, his best efforts and the time and energy
necessary to fully perform the duties of the position. All such duties shall be performed within
the time frames or deadlines expressly imposed by law, applicable policy, rule, or as reasonably
established by the City Commission. The City Manager shall request of the City Commission
from time to time such decisions or actions of the City Commission which the City Manager may
determine in his professional judgment are reasonably necessary for the successful
accomplishment of his duties as City Manager.
SECTION 2. TERMINATION BY THE CITY
This Agreement is for an indefinite term, but in accordance with the City Charter Section 5.02, the
City Manager shall be removed from office only by a super-majority of no less than four (4) affirmative
votes of the full City Commission.
A. If the City Manager's employment is terminated by the City Commission with cause, the City
Commission shall not be required to pay any severance allowance to the City Manager or any
other salary, compensation, or benefits after the effective date of termination. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the term "with cause" shall mean: (l) conviction of or a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to a felony involving moral turpitude; (2) misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance in
office; (3) conviction of a violation of the Florida Ethics Laws or any illegal act involving personal
gain to himself such as embezzlement, bribery and theft; (4) incapacity or habitual neglect of
duties, rendering the City Manager unable to perform the essential functions of the position for
an extended time; or (5) abandonment of the Office of City Manager.
B. The term of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and hold over until employment
is terminated under the terms herein, or a new employment agreement has been negotiated and
entered into between the City Commission and the City Manager.
SECTION 3. SEVERANCE PAY
In the event the City Manager is terminated without cause by super-majority vote of four (4)
affirmative votes of the full City Commission, the City agrees to pay the City Manager his salary, all
stated benefits in Sections 5 through 11 of this Agreement, and accrued benefits. In addition, upon
termination without cause, the City agrees to pay the City Manager severance pay equivalent to twenty (20)
weeks of salary, calculated from the final date of termination. This severance payment will serve as consideration
for the mutual release and waiver of any claims between the City and the City Manager.
By accepting this severance, the City Manager agrees to release, discharge, and hold harmless the City,
its officers, agents, attorneys, and employees from any and all claims, liabilities, or causes of action, whether
known or unknown, arising from or relating to the City Manager's employment, including, but not limited to, all
acts or omissions that occurred during the course of employment. This release shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.
The City, in turn, agrees to release and hold the City Manager harmless from any claims or liabilities
arising from the performance of his duties as City Manager, from the beginning of time until the date of
termination. This release shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The City Manager has the option to accept full payment of severance and benefits immediately
upon termination, receive the benefits bi-weekly as normal, or to defer payment to a mutually agreeable
1364
Page 3 of 9
future date.
In the event the City Manager resigns following a super -majority vote of four (4) affirmative votes of
the full commission, as required by the charter, suggesting to him that he resign, then the City Manager
may, at his option, deliver written notice to the Mayor and City Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of
such vote, declaring that he deems himself to be “terminated.” Upon such declaration, the City Manager
shall be entitled to receive severance pay as described above. If the City Manager does not deliver
written notice within the specified time period, he waives any entitlement to declare termination and
severance pay under this provision.
SECTION 4. RESIGNATION BY THE CITY MANAGER
In the event the City Manager resigns his position (unless such resignation is pursuant to the
requirements specified in the last paragraph of Section 3 hereinabove) with the City, the City Commission
shall have no obligation to pay a severance payment, other than his due salary and stated benefits accrued
as of the date of final resignation. The City Manager shall give the City Commission at least sixty (60)
days’ written notice in advance, unless waived by a super-majority vote of four (4) affirmative votes of
the full City Commission at its sole discretion.
SECTION 5. COMPENSATION
The initial base salary of the City Manager shall be $218,000 per annum. Effective October 1,
2025 (FY 2026), his salary shall be raised to $225,000 per annum. The salary shall be payable consistent
with current city procedures.
A. Commencing on October 1, 2026, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the City Manager shall
receive the standard annual cost of living allowance (COLA) as determined and granted at
the discretion of the City Commission to all other senior leadership level employees of the
City.
B. In addition to any annual cost of living (COLA) increases, the City Commission may by super-
majority vote of the full Commission, at its discretion, increase the City Manager’s salary or pay
bonuses as additional compensation at any time during any year. The number and amount of such
increase or bonuses, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the City Commission and subject to
Section 215.425, Florida Statutes. However, in no event shall the City Manager’s salary or any
agreed upon continuing annual bonus be less than his present salary or any agreed upon continuing
annual bonus.
SECTION 6. HOLIDAYS AND EXECUTIVE LEAVE
The City Manager is entitled to all paid holidays observed by regular full-time City employees. In
lieu of vacation, sick, personal, and administrative leave, the City Manager will receive Executive Leave
(EL) days. Upon commencement of employment on the start date stated in Section 1, the City Manager
shall be credited with thirty (30) paid EL days, and thereafter, forty-five (45) paid EL days annually at the
start of each fiscal year commencing on October 1, 2025. A maximum of one hundred and forty (140) EL

City’s health insurance budget line, payable in equal installments according to current payroll
procedures. If the City Manager, due to a qualifying event, chooses not to waive the benefits

receive all the benefits provided under those sections.

SECTION 13. NO REDUCTION OF BENEFITS
The City Commission shall not, at any time during the term of this Agreement, unilaterally reduce
the salary, compensation, or other financial benefits of the City Manager, unless the reduction of salary,

the-board reduction for all other senior leadership level employees of the City.
SECTION 14. RESIDENCY
There is currently no residency requirement for the City Manager; however, the City Manager
agrees to establish a primary residence within the City of Winter Springs or within 10 miles of the City

in this Agreement.
C. If the City Manager voluntarily resigns prior to the second anniversary of his effective start date
stated in Section 1, the City Manager shall reimburse the City for the total amount of any relocation
expenses paid by the City. Such reimbursement shall be deducted from any contract payouts owed
to the City Manager, provided the payouts are sufficient to cover the full amount. If the payouts
1368
Page 7 of 9
are insufficient, the City Manager shall be responsible for paying the remaining balance in cash to
the City.
SECTION 15. INDEMNIFICATION
The City shall defend, indemnify, save, and hold harmless the City Manager against any tort, civil
rights, professional liability claim or demand, or other legal action, whether groundless or otherwise, arising
out of an alleged act or omission occurring within the scope and performance of the City Manager’s duties,
except for acts or omissions acted in bad faith, with malicious purpose, or in a manner exhibiting wanton
and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property. Criminal litigation shall not be included in this
indemnity clause. The City Manager recognizes that the City shall have the right to compromise and settle
any claim or suit and pay the amount of any settlement or judgment rendered thereon. Further, the City
agrees to pay all reasonable litigation expenses of the City Manager throughout the pendency of any
litigation to which the City Manager is a party, witness or advisor to the City which may arise out of the
course and scope of his employment. However, if the City Manager is found to be personally liable by
virtue of acting outside the scope of his employment, or was acting in bad faith, with malicious purpose,
or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property, the City may
recover from the City Manager any attorney's fees paid from City funds in accordance with Section 111.07,
Florida Statutes. If any claim or cause of action shall arise after the City Manager has left his employment
with the City, he shall be reimbursed for travel, lodging and be paid a daily per diem basis based on his
salary at the time of his separation from the City. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the City and
City Manager shall rely upon the doctrine of sovereign immunity and the provisions of section 768.28,
