Body
SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Employment Agreement between the Santa Clara Valley Water District and Stanly Yamamoto, District Counsel, and the Board Appointed Officer (BAO) Performance Evaluation Procedure, the Board conducts performance evaluations on at least a semiannual basis. After the completion of the annual evaluations, the Board will determine the BAOs’ annual compensation adjustments, if necessary.
The Board may, by resolution approving an amendment to the employment agreement, increase the BAO’s salary based on merit and/or market factors. The Board may also consider the following data in adjusting the BAO’s compensation:
1. Individual BAO annual performance records;
2. Current year Consumer Price Index (CPI);
3. Compensation data of comparative public or private organizations;
4. Salary compaction with direct reports; and
5. Board-adopted employee salary schedules.
This item allows the Board to discuss, consider and determine compensation adjustments, if any for Mr. Yamamoto. It also allows the Board to adopt a resolution providing for a compensation adjustment and approve an amendment to the Employment Agreement, reflecting any such adjustment. After conducting an evaluation of the District Counsel, the Board is proposing a 4% annual compensation increase (to $333,340.80).
Attachment 1 is a Resolution and Employment Agreement Amendment approving the compensation adjustment proposed by the Board. An updated Unclassified Benefits Summary is included as an attachment to the Employment Agreement Amendment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY21 budget includes a 4% salary increase for Board Appointed Officers.
CEQA:
The recommended action does not constitute a project under CEQA because it does not have potential for resulting in direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment.
