Agenda Item 11: District General Manager's Compensation Increase

Recommendation:

Approve a 2.5% pay raise for the General Manager, commencing with the pay period starting Sept. 27, 2013

Background:

During the Sept. 4, 2013 Harbor District meeting, Treasurer Jim Tucker moved to place an item on the Commission's Sept. 18, 2013 meeting agenda regarding the General Manager's compensation. He called for a 2.5% increase in the General Manager's pay. Parravano seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0 to place the item on the agenda.

At the Sept. 18th 2013 Harbor District Meeting Commissioner Brennan voted NO to a 2.5% pay raise for the General Manager for the following reason:

"I don't support a raise for the General Manager because I have reasons to be concerned about his ability to do his job.
He has demonstrated a history of bias against women and this continues to this day. Currently I have a pending complaint involving bias against women and an investigation is in progress."
