SUMMARY: On October 21, 2013 the Board met and discussed the General Manager’s annual performance appraisal. As a result, the Board recommended a revision in the General Manager’s annual compensation to $175,000 off-set by an employee contribution to PERS equal to 2% of salary in year 1, 4% in year 2, and 6% in year 3. The PERS contribution will be structured as 1.0% of the Employer’s share and 1.0% of the Employee’s share in each of the next 3 years to be paid by the General Manager, with any corresponding salary increase effective in year 2 and year 3 subject to annual performance review by the Board, but in no case less than 2%. As a result, the net increase in annual salary to the General Manager for FY 2013-14 will be approximately $1,000 or a 0.64% increase. The average salary for 13 local special district general managers for last fiscal year, FY 2012-13, was $180,700.

The other terms of the agreement are very similar to those adopted for the General Staff and Management units at the Board’s September 16^th meeting (Agenda Item 13), with the exception of the “Tier 2” benefits which do not apply to the General Manager position.

RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager recommends that the Board adopt the proposed terms of the General Manager’s contract for FY 2013-14, effective September 1, 2013 and amend the Contract accordingly.
