HALLOWELL -- David Giroux's employment as city manager has officially been terminated, according to an agreement filed Monday at City Hall.

The agreement terminates Giroux's employment as of Oct. 1, 2009, and offers $10,000 in compensation.

City attorney Lee Bragg confirmed Monday that Giroux's attorney had sent the agreement back with Giroux's signature. Mayor Anthony Masciadri also signed the employment separation agreement, a requirement to make it valid, according to Bragg.

The compensation is described in the agreement as offered "in recognition of his years of dedicated service to the city."

Giroux became interim city manager in Hallowell in March 2006, and got the job full-time in August. Prior to that, he was the city's code enforcement officer.

Giroux suffered a stroke Sept. 25, 2008. He was on extended medical leave with the city. Todd Shea, Hallowell's code enforcement officer, has been manager in the interim.

Masciadri said Shea will continue in that capacity until the city contracts an individual for the job.

Giroux said Monday he was all set with the agreement, and he declined to comment further on the matter.

Giroux, 52, of Sidney, said he was feeling better.
