“The executive committee of rcal meets annually to evaluate the chief executive officer's (and other key executive positions) compensation based on his/her experience, performance, and industry. They also consider his/her input on matters of performance and compensation. The amount which constitutes a fair and reasonable compensation (including salary and benefits) for the chief executive officer will be determined first by the executive committee. This decision will be based on the candidate's qualifications and the availability of organizational funds for compensation, along with a thorough review of comparability data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. These data may include the following: a)salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; b)written job offers for functionally comparable positions at similar organizations (not for profits); c)documented telephone calls regarding functionally comparable positions at both rcal and for-profit organizations; and d)information obtained from irs form 990 filings from similar organizations. After determining appropriate compensation for the chief executive officer (and other key executive positions), the executive committee submits their findings, along with supporting documentation, to rcal's board for review and final approval. Concurrent documentation: rcal's board documents the decision-making process used to approve the compensation for the chief executive officer (and other key executive positions). This information will not be included in the general meeting minutes. It will be kept confidential and maintained by the chairperson of the board and the secretary. No member of the staff will have access to this information. Documentation will include: a)a description of the compensation and benefits, and the date it was approved; b)the names of board members present during the discussion of compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; c)a description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data were obtained.”

“Compensation is reviewed annually by the board in conjunction with a comparison of salaries paid to other local not-for-profit officials at similarly sized and similarly purposed organizations in the local area. The organization utilizes the procedures for establishment and review of compensation for the top chief executive officer to establish and review compensation for other officers and key employees.”
