The Fort Dodge City Council on Monday extended the contract of City Manager David Fierke for another four years.

Fierke has been the city manager since 2006.

David Haggard, the former superintendent of the Fort Dodge Community School District, served as interim city manager for a few months after the city manager form of government was adopted, but Fierke is really the only full-time manager the city has had.

His first contract was dated July 29, 2006. It was renewed in 2013, 2018, and 2022.

The extension approved Monday, which is valid through June 2030, sets his base salary at $221,348.

The extension was approved on a 5-1 vote, with one council member absent.

Councilmembers Kim Alstott, Jen Crimmins. Todd McCubbin, Terry Moehnke, and Megan Secor. Councilman Scott Davis voted no. Councilman Cameron Nelson was absent.

Davis said he voted against the contract because it includes a 5 percent raise for Fierke.

“I felt 3 percent was in line with where everybody else is,” he said after the meeting.
