BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On, August 3, 2026, the City Clerk position became vacant. The City of Lodi engaged the services of an executive recruitment firm to conduct the recruitment to fill this position. The City Manager selected Anissa Hollingshead to fill the position.
Because there is often a delay in receiving the criminal history background results for out-of-state applicants, the effective date of the Employment Agreement is upon successful completion of a background check. In the event Anissa Hollingshead does not successfully complete a background check by December 15, 2026, then the Employment Agreement shall be null and void. The City Manager, in her sole discretion, may agree to extend this period. However, no extension will be effective unless approved in writing by the City Manager. If Anissa Hollingshead fails to complete the background check by the approved extension date, then the Employment Agreement shall be null and void.
Anissa Hollingshead shall begin work as City Clerk on December 16, 2026, unless the effective date of the Employment Agreement is extended by the City Manager. If so extended, the new start date will be agreed to in writing by both parties.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annual salary is $162.842.15.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Funding is in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
