PORT ANGELES — The City Council is considering a consultant contract for Mark Madsen, who has resigned his city manager’s job effective Labor Day.
The contract, according to Councilman Dan Di Guilio, would pay Madsen as needed for advice on pending projects after he leaves.
Madsen said he still expects to leave at the end of August.
Port Angeles City Council members will gather Tuesday afternoon for a special meeting on the contract and other issues that derive from Madsen’s resignation (see related report).
The session will be held in City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St.
Madsen told Peninsula Daily News on Thursday — his first day back after a week’s vacation — that he knew nothing about the consultant contract.
“I have had no conversations with the City Council about this proposed contract,” he said.
“It did not come from me.”
Asked if such a contract might accelerate his departure, he said, “I really cannot speculate about that.”
