Summary
Following an executive session on July 28, the Brazos River Authority board approved a 6% annual salary increase and a 14% one-time merit bonus for the general manager/CEO, citing sustained exemplary performance.
After a closed executive session to discuss the position of the general manager, CEO, the Brazos River Authority board on July 28 approved an annual salary increase of 6% and a one-time merit bonus equal to 14% of the general manager/CEO—s existing salary.
Board members commended the general manager—s leadership during a brief open-session acknowledgement following the executive session. The presiding officer read a resolution stating the board—s conclusion that "sustained exemplary performance by the general manager/CEO warrants an annual salary increase of 6% of his existing salary and justifies a one-time merit bonus of 14% of his existing salary." A director moved approval; the motion was seconded by Director Huber and approved by roll call.
The board also directed that Director Wilson, as chair of the executive compensation committee, will meet one-on-one with the general manager/CEO to identify goals the committee outlined to further the authority's work. The board did not read or disclose specific performance targets in open session.
The action followed the executive-session deliberations permitted by the Texas Open Meetings Act, which the presiding officer cited when calling the closed meeting.
