The selection was approved at council on May 20, as the Town reported payments of more than $700,000 to settle legal troubles related to former top officials. Perkins starts at an annual salary of $245,000, effective last Wednesday, to be increased to $260,000, effective July 1, 2026. “She will continue to serve as the city planner, and she will be in charge of long-term planning,” said Kirsten Powell, the city attorney. “The contract provides for benefits that are consistent with what she’s previously had, and also consistent with other employees.” ➝ Monte Sereno, 10
