ISSUE
Board approval is required to amend the Secretary of the District's employment agreement.
BACKGROUND
The employment agreement between the District and Secretary of the District, Katherine Young, allows for
the Board to consider an adjustment to her salary or benefits in such amounts and to such extent as the
Board may determine is desirable. The Board has completed Ms. Young's performance evaluation and a
salary adjustment is warranted.
It is proposed that, effective August 18, 2023, Ms. Young's annual salary be increased a total of eight and
three quarters percent (8.75%), which reflects a three and three quarters percent (3.75%) for a cost of
living adjustment and a five percent (5.0%) adjustment based on her performance. This would increase her
salary from $175,005 to $190,318.
All other provisions of the employment contract, as amended, would remain unchanged. The proposed
amendment is provided as Attachment 1.
