The City of Mount Shasta has reached a settlement agreement with former City Manager Todd Juhasz, according to official City Council minutes included in the agenda packet for Monday's November 9 meeting, released on November 6.

The agreement was approved unanimously during a special closed-session meeting held Wednesday, November 4, 2026, by the three councilmembers present: Mayor Casey Glaubman, Tessa Clure, and John Stackfleth.

When the Council returned to open session at 6:10 p.m., Mayor Glaubman reported that the Council had approved the settlement agreement between Juhasz and the City. He then read the following statement, which he said was part of the agreement:

“The Mount Shasta City Council and City Manager Todd Juhasz mutually agreed to not renew Mr. Juhasz's employment agreement. His service with the city concluded on September 27, 2026.

This decision was reached in a spirit of mutual respect and appreciation, as both the Council and Mr. Juhasz recognize a natural point of transition after five years of partnership.

Over the past five years, Mr. Juhasz provided thoughtful leadership to the city. During his tenure, several important infrastructure works were concluded, including the Pine Street and Sewer Interceptor Project, the first rural Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) in the state, the development of 25 affordable housing units, the brownfield cleanup of the project known as The Landing, and several expanded housing options.

The City Council thanks Todd for his service to Mount Shasta.”

Five Projects Highlighted During Juhasz's Tenure

• Pine Street Water Improvements (2024): Replacement of approximately 10,500 feet of water mains, 90 water services, and 15 fire hydrants to improve drinking-water reliability and fire protection.
• Sewer Interceptor Project (2019–2024): Major wastewater infrastructure improvements designed to prevent sewer overflows and protect local waterways, following a significant spill in 2017.
• Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (2022–2024): Establishment of what the city describes as California's first rural EIFD, allowing future property-tax growth to help fund infrastructure and redevelopment without a new tax.
• Mountain Townhomes Affordable Housing (2023–2025): A 25-unit housing development at 735 Chestnut Street, including 24 affordable apartments and one manager's unit, with $15 million in financing announced in 2025.
• The Landing Brownfield Cleanup and Housing Expansion (2023–2026): Continued environmental cleanup and redevelopment planning for the former Roseburg mill property, supported by a $707,740 EPA grant, alongside efforts to expand housing opportunities throughout Mount Shasta.

Some projects began before Juhasz's tenure or remain ongoing; the dates reflect major milestones in each project.

The November 4 closed-session minutes are included on page 11 of the City's November 9 meeting packet, which is scheduled for consideration by the Council on Monday.
