SWA board approves Ramona Curry as executive director with $325,000 salary
Summary
The Solid Waste Authority approved an employment contract for Ramona Curry as executive director with a $325,000 annual salary, a $600 monthly car allowance, and a three‑year term beginning 12/24/2025; the contract carries customary Florida law termination and rollover provisions.
The Solid Waste Authority board voted unanimously to approve an employment contract with Ramona Curry as the next executive director. The contract, presented by counsel, sets an annual salary of $325,000, a $600 monthly car allowance and a three‑year term that begins Dec. 24, 2025 and rolls forward annually with termination available on 90 days’ written notice.
Attorney presentation noted the salary mirrors a recommendation in an Evergreen Solutions report and is roughly $5,000 more than the incumbent executive director’s pay. The agreement includes an annual cost‑of‑living adjustment equal to increases provided to other SWA employees, an annual merit increase based on average merit increases for staff, and a deferred‑compensation contribution to the maximum allowed by law.
The board motion to approve the contract passed unanimously; staff were congratulated and instructed to finalize the paperwork. The board’s vote completes the hiring step; legal counsel confirmed standard termination and severance clauses comply with Florida law.
Next steps: staff will complete ministerial contract execution and publish the contract summary in the public record.
