The contract renewal was approved unanimously to extend Wilbank's contract from June 30, 2020, to June 30, 2022. Wilbanks will receive a base salary of $380,971.88, effective Jan. 1, 2020. He will receive a transportation allowance of $1,500 per month, an expense allowance of $1,200 per month, a retirement supplement of $3,500 per month and a longevity supplement of $6,250 per month.
