The City Council in Richmond voted this week to confirm Suffolk City Manager Selena Cuffee-Glenn’s appointment as their new city manager, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Cuffee-Glenn will take up the reins in Richmond May 18. The announcement was made April 15.

The City Council voted Monday to approve her hiring. In Richmond, unlike in Suffolk, the mayor nominates a candidate, and the council simply confirms the candidate.

City Council members already have expressed concerns about access to Cuffee-Glenn and her responsiveness to constituent issues, according to the Times-Dispatch.

“I wish that the administration had given us more information, more access, the ability to talk to you before tonight,” said Councilman Parker C. Agelasto, 5th District, according to the Times-Dispatch. “And I hope that with your leadership, that you will come with a sense of collaboration.”

Another council representative, Reva M. Trammell of the 8th District, asked Cuffee-Glenn to work with all council members, not just those who have more favor with the mayor, according to the Times-Dispatch.

The Times-Dispatch also reported the terms of Cuffee-Glenn’s compensation have changed since her selection. The salary listed in her April 14 offer letter was $203,000, but a revised offer letter dated May 2 set her salary at $208,700. The amount of annual deferred compensation also rose, from $15,000 to $20,700. An automobile allowance of $950 per month was removed in the more recent offer letter, according to the Times-Dispatch.
