SUMMARY: On July 17, 2017 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, and continuing to improve the District’s public perception among community groups, businesses, elected officials, and individuals. Since the General Manager’s last salary increase in 2015, he was recognized as the City of Pacific Grove’s “Public Official of the Year” and the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s “Ruth Vreeland Memorial Award Public Official of the Year.”

The Chair reviewed a salary survey of comparable positions in the industry and on the Monterey Peninsula. As a result, the Board recommended an increase in the General Manager’s annual compensation as reflected in Exhibit 16-A, attached.

RECOMMENDATION: Amend section III.A of the “Agreement for Employment of General Manager” to reflect the revised annual compensation, effective July 17, 2017.
