“The process for hiring and determining the executive director's initial compensation package is evaluated by an ad hoc search committee who will coordinate, collect and review candidate materials. Through the use of comparability data including survey information prepared by an independent compensation source or consultant the committee prepares a recommendation of candidate and compensation then presents the recommendation to the board. The board discusses and votes on the recommendations. The search committee chair and/or board secretary prepare contemporaneous documentation of the discussion and vote. An annual performance review of the executive director includes a voluntary evaluation questionnaire available for all board members and department directors to participate in. This confidential survey is coordinated and summarized through the executive committee. The survey results and compensation discussions are brought to the executive committee for acceptance by vote. A summary of these proceedings are shared with the full board. Compensation is subject to budget limitations that would not exceed the board approved amount. The secretary and/or board chair prepare contemporaneous documentation of the discussion and vote. The process for determining compensation of other senior management and staff is primarily a budgetary function. Comparability data for pay scales are considered when hiring and are not exceeded, however funding availability is the primary factor for setting the initial pay rate. Annually staffing compensation is reviewed by the finance committee, the executive committee and a recommendation is made to the full board. The compensation recommendation is submitted to the full board as part of the operating budget for discussion and vote. The board secretary and/or the executive director prepare contemporaneous documentation of the discussion and vote. Annual performance reviews for all staff is performed for all department directors and staff by their immediate supervisor.
