1. EXECUTIVE SESSION
• PERSONNEL -
Pam informed the board that Sam has applied for the Parks & Recreation Director
position in Highland Village. He didn't think anything would happen, but he is a finalist
for the position. He has a second interview tomorrow. He did this because he wanted to
see if anything would happen and also the job pays more than what we pay him. He does
not want to leave. He really enjoys working with this board and he is very excited about
the upcoming projects. If we try to replace him, we wouldn't get anyone with his
experience or qualifications. He has a lot of background with the projects. In order to
attract someone, we would have to increase the salary. She is asking the board to
consider a salary adjustment. Sam is due a merit increase of 5% in March. He told Pam
he would need $54,000/year to stay here. The starting pay in Highland Village is more
than that. He's willing to take less to stay here. It would be $4,000 for the remainder of
this budget year. She believes it is worth it for the board to do this. She added that if the
board approves this, the city manager still has to sign off on it.
Sue said she would like Sam to write the board a letter stating that he will not apply for a
job anywhere else. Pam said she discussed that with him and said if the board approves
this, he needs to make a commitment to them that he will be here through the first bond
issue and the first phase of the complex and he agreed to that.
Delmer made a motion to close the executive session. Sue seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
2. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN AS A
RESULT OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Sam entered the conference room. Sue told Sam she wants a letter from him saying he
will not apply for any other positions, at least until after the first phase is completed.
Sam agreed to this. Vicki said she would like to have more input from Sam at the
meetings. He has a lot of information to give. Pam said his role is overseeing all 4B
projects, Eastvale, and the Lake Parks. He also attends all meetings regarding projects.
Definer made a motion to approve a salary increase adjustment for Sam. Sue seconded
the motion. The motion carried.
