BACKGROUND
The General Manager of the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is employed on an At-Will basis and serves at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
According to Section 6 of the General Manager's At-Will Employment Agreement, the "District's Steering Committee shall meet with the General Manager in August of each year during the term of this Agreement to review and evaluate his performance over the prior year. The Steering Committee shall make its recommendation(s) to the Board concerning adjustment to the compensation and/or benefits paid or provided to the General Manager, to be effective in July of the year of the review.".
The General Manager is in the second year of a three year employment contract. In September 2019, the Sanitation District's Board adopted Resolution No. OCSD 19-12 entitled, "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District approving salary increases and salary range adjustments for the General Manager for Fiscal Year 2019/2020, Fiscal Year 2020/2021, and Fiscal Year 2021/2022". The resolution authorizes the Board Chairperson to implement a 3% salary range adjustment and corresponding salary increase for each year of the contract years annually and allows for up to a 2.5% merit increase annually based on job performance as determined by the Board of Directors.
The Steering Committee reviewed the General Manager's job performance for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 in closed session in June 2020 and recommends that the Board approve the maximum amount of 2.5% for the General Manager's merit increase.
