North Miami CRA approves contract amendment to carry interim pay for executive director; questions remain on term length
Loading...
Summary
The North Miami CRA approved an amendment to the executive director’s employment agreement to carry over an interim salary increase; the board discussed the contract term and renewal language but approved the salary change by a 5-0 vote.
The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency on a unanimous vote approved a resolution to amend the employment agreement for the executive director so that the salary increase she received while serving as interim city manager would be carried over to her CRA contract.
The resolution, as presented, authorizes the amendment to the employment agreement between Anabo Emmanuel and the North Miami CRA and authorizes the executive director and the CRA attorney to negotiate and finalize the amendment and to execute any necessary documents.
At the meeting, CRA counsel (identified in the record as Mr. Zuckowitz) explained the purpose of the resolution was to ensure the increased salary provided during the director’s interim city manager appointment would be reflected in the CRA agreement for the remainder of her current term. The executive director confirmed her current CRA contract expires in March 2026; board members discussed whether the initial term language should be two or three years and reviewed language that allows renewal by mutual agreement on or before March 14, 2026.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the current salary figure and recent cost-of-living and merit increases; the transcript contains inconsistent numeric references to those figures, and the record does not provide a single, definitive current salary amount. The agency approved the resolution on a motion by Vice Chair Timothy, seconded by Board member Burns; the motion carried 5-0.
