Kent Kirkpatrick will remain at the helm of the city’s 14,000-strong bureaucracy for at least another year.

The city manager’s contract was extended another year, with an option to extend it until March 2017, Mayor Jim Watson announced Friday afternoon.

The decision to extend Kirkpatrick’s contract was made by Watson, councillors Bob Monette and Mark Taylor — who also act as deputy mayors — and Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, the vice-chair of the finance and economic development committee.

Originally, the mayor proposed that he alone would review certain aspects of the city manager’s contract, but in early December, council voted that the two deputy mayors and the vice-chair of the finance committee join the mayor in that task. Other councillors also offered assessments of Kirkpatrick’s work for the four-member panel to take into consideration.

Kirkpatrick has been the city manager since 2004 and is, unsurprisingly, the city’s top-paid bureaucrat, making more than $328,000 in 2013 (the last year for which salary disclosures are available).

In a letter to his council colleagues, Watson thanked Kirkpatrick “for his ongoing professionalism, integrity, hard work and diligence” during a number of ambitious projects, “including the procurement and construction of Stage 1 of LRT, expanding municipal facilities and programs across the City, the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, financing and building of the new Innovation Hub at Bayview.”
