ISSUE
Board approval is required for salary adjustments.
BACKGROUND
Due to the recent salary increases for many classifications as a result of the class study, Human
Resources conducted an internal review of salaries to ensure internal parity between classifications with
similar organization level, duties, responsibilities, and requirements.
While the class study focused on whether individuals were appropriately classified and working within the
scope of their current classification, this review was focused on whether or not classifications were
appropriately paid compared to others with a comparable level of duties and responsibilities.
During this review, the Finance Manager was identified as a class that should be further studied.
There are currently twelve manager classifications, and the Finance Manager salary is the third lowest,
above only the Program Manager and the Purchasing and Materials Manager. All of the classes above the
Finance Manager are paid at the same salary level (M24). A chart of all manager's salaries can be found in
Attachment 1.

The Finance Manager position plays a crucial and pivotal role in the operations of the entire District.
Additionally, since this is an at-will represented position, the performance of the incumbent, Mr. Kevin
Mizuno, can also be taken into consideration when determining whether or not a salary adjustment is
warranted. Mr. Mizuno has been responsible for accomplishing the following objectives:
• Instrumental in identifying and implementing solutions to issues associated with the Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) implementation
• Designed and implemented many procedural and policy improvements in various finance processes
• Developed improved financial reports to meet Board and public needs
• Worked effectively with Internal Auditor in reassessing and improving internal controls and
processes
• Played key role in cost savings initiatives such as the UAAL (unfunded actuarial accrued liability)
paydown and OPEB (other post-employment benefits) budgeting
• Managed complex budget issues to meet goals of financial plan
Based on the complexity and criticality of the position as well as the incumbents exceptional performance,
a salary adjustment is warranted.
Human Resources is recommending a 13 percent increase for this classification, which would move the
salary range from M29 to M24. For a visual reference and cost impacts, please refer to Attachment 2.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
Deny or propose an alternative adjustment.
