SUMMARY: On December 14, 2015 the Board met and discussed the General Manager’s annual performance appraisal. The Board was very satisfied with the General Manager’s performance and noted that the General Manager continues to perform at a high level advancing the Board’s goals and direction. Specific highlights included development of 3-year and 1-year strategic goals, advancement of the Pure Water Monterey groundwater replenishment project, work on extending the Cease and Desist Order, a revised Conservation and Rationing Plan, and continuing to improve the District’s public perception among community groups, businesses, elected officials, and individuals. As a result, the Board recommended an increase in the General Manager’s annual compensation of 5.13 percent (5.13%), of which 2 percent will be used to offset contributions to PERS previously paid directly by the District. As a condition of this increase, Mr. Stoldt has agreed to enter a new long-term contract with the District beginning July 1, 2016, the terms of which are to be negotiated by the Chair and brought to the Board for approval.

RECOMMENDATION: Amend section III.A of the “Agreement for Employment of General Manager” to reflect the revised annual compensation, effective September 1, 2015.
