The Sacramento Public Library Authority voted unanimously Dec. 8 to approve a 2% increase to the library director’s annual salary following the board’s annual performance review.

Jennifer Korr, the authority’s legal counsel, told the board the item returned after the review and recommended a 2% raise "to his annual salary" for the board’s consideration. Director Karina Talamantes moved the amendment; Director Katie Maple seconded the motion. The clerk conducted a roll call and the motion passed with eight members voting in favor.

Board members did not record substantive public comment before the vote. The authority’s action amends the director’s employment contract; no dollar amounts or annual base salary figures were provided during the meeting. The board proceeded to other agenda items after approving the contract change.

The vote concludes the authority’s action on the director’s annual performance review for this meeting; the motion passed 8–0.
