The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board abruptly removed a proposed extension of Superintendent Jon Gurban's contract from its agenda Wednesday night.
A majority of the board voted two weeks ago to approach Gurban about extending his contract for one year past its scheduled expiration on June 30, 2010.
But Commissioner Jon Olson proposed removing the matter from the board's agenda Wednesday, saying he thought it should be left to the new board that will take office Jan. 6.
Gurban's current contract began in mid-2007 and pays him $139,817 annually, plus a $500 monthly car allowance.
