ISSUE: Derived from the District salary tables, employee salaries have been
traditionally expressed in monthly amounts in position papers to the Board. Staff has
recently been asked to present a position paper for Board consideration changing the
practice of expressing salaries from a monthly basis to annually. In addition, staff has
been asked to include the value of benefits when expressing an employee's salary.
RECOMMENDATION: Consider directing staff to express employee salaries and
benefits in annual amounts in Board position papers.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Maintain the status quo or expand the use of
annual salaries and benefits in public documents.
BACKGROUND: At the Board meeting of August 5, 2010, Member Lucey asked staff
to prepare a position paper mandating that employee salaries be expressed in annual
amounts. Also, Board Member Nejedly asked staff to include the value of benefits
whenever salary is referenced in a position paper.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Consider directing staff to express employee
salaries and benefits in annual amounts in Board position papers.
