Recommended Action/Motion:

recommendation

Ratify three percent (3%) salary increase pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement #23-1194 with Doris L. Rentschler for the position of Executive Director, Mendocino County Employees Retirement Association (MCERA), for a total salary of $187,249.69 (Benefits Not Included) and $318,324.47 (Benefits Included) effective December 19, 2024.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

In December 2023, the Board of Supervisors ratified MCERA’s employment agreement with Doris L. Rentschler for the term December 19, 2023, to December 19, 2026. This agreement provided for a 3% increase of the then existing salary on December 19, 2024.                     

 

Summary of Request

Pursuant to Government Code §3511.2, a contract between a public entity and an agency executive cannot provide for automatic renewal of a contract that provides for an automatic increase in the level of compensation that exceeds a cost of living adjustment.  Since the most recently published California CPI increase of 2.7% is less than the agreed upon salary increase of 3%, the Board of Supervisors is required to ratify the increase.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not approve this item and return to MCERA with alternative direction.
