REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
Public Mtg/Date: Board of Trustees, March 23, 2023
Description: Pay Plan and 2023 Market Compensation Adjustments
From: Keith Donner, Administrator
Question: Does the Board of Trustees approve the Pay Plan and 2023 Market
Compensation Adjustments recommended by the Human Resources
Committee on March 6, 2023?
Background
At the March 20th meeting of the Board of Trustees, one-time bonuses for specified positions were
approved as recommended by the Human Resources Committee on March 6th. The HR
Committee recommended additional the 2023 market compensation adjustments which were
intended to be presented to the Board on March 20th. The formatting of the spreadsheet was
mistakenly changed and not discovered until during the meeting. The intention was to display the
current 2023 hourly compensation and proposed 2023 market rates. Instead the spreadsheet
displayed the 2022 hourly rate and 2022 market rates. The additional hourly compensation and
final adjusted hourly compensation were correct. The attached spreadsheet shows the intended
information. The previous information it can be viewed in the meeting packet for the March 20,
2023, meeting of the Board of Trustees. (beginning on page 247). The action by the HR Committee
for the compensation adjustments was as follows:
