(KRON) — The Oakland City Council is set to vote Tuesday on approving a contract for new Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell. If the resolution allows the Oakland City Administrator to authorize an employment agreement, Mitchell will receive an annual salary of more than $365,000.

According to an agenda item posted on the City of Oakland’s website, Mitchell will receive total annual compensation of $365,100. This includes an annual salary of $325,000 and premium pay required by the memorandum of understanding between the City of Oakland and the Oakland Police Management Association of $40,100.

Mitchell will also receive a monthly auto allowance of $750.

Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao announced Mitchell as the new OPD chief last month, more than a year after the firing of former OPD Chief LeRonne Armstrong. Mitchell, the former Police Chief of Lubbock, Texas, was one of three candidates submitted to the mayor by the Oakland Police Commission.
