Make it unanimous.

City Commissioner Mike Rundle, the lone commissioner who hadn’t publicly praised the selection of David Corliss as Lawrence’s next city manager, threw his support behind Corliss at Tuesday night’s commission meeting.

“I can’t find anything to complain about with Dave’s performance as acting city manager,” said Rundle, who frequently complained about Corliss’ former boss, Mike Wildgen, who resigned under pressure in March. “It is clear that he is going to be responsive to commission wishes and requests.”

Rundle was unable to attend the Sept. 29 news conference when Corliss was announced as the city’s next top executive. The news conference conflicted with a long-scheduled trip Rundle made to Chicago.

Rundle said he was particularly pleased with Corliss’ revamping of the budget process.

He said Corliss had been responsive to commissioner requests to provide more detailed information about the budget, and the need to be more precise when making projections about future income and expenses.

“I think we’re definitely seeing a sharp contrast in his management style compared to the previous manager,” Rundle said. “And it all has been in the right direction.”

Commissioners on Tuesday also unanimously approved Corliss’ employment contract. The contract establishes his annual salary at $125,000, in addition to $15,000 a year in deferred compensation for a retirement account. He’ll also receive a $5,000 vehicle allowance.

Those terms are similar to what former City Manager Mike Wildgen was being paid before he resigned in March after a majority of commissioners had expressed concern about growth and infrastructure planning.

Wildgen, who had served as city manager for 16 years, was making a salary of $124,778, and received deferred compensation of $10,706 per year. He also received a $5,000 car allowance.
