The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County approved an employment contract for Ramona Curry to serve as executive director beginning Dec. 24, 2025.
Board members voted to approve the three‑year contract with an annual salary of $325,000, a $600 monthly car allowance, an annual cost‑of‑living increase aligned with other SWA employees, an annual merit increase tied to the average merit increase for SWA staff, and a deferred compensation contribution in the maximum amount allowed by law. The agreement includes an automatic annual rollover provision and may be terminated by either party with 90 days’ written notice; termination and severance provisions were described as consistent with Florida law.
Staff said the contract largely mirrors the current executive director’s agreement with modest differences the Evergreen Solutions report recommended. Vice Chair Flores moved to approve the contract; Mayor Baxter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The board offered public congratulations to Curry and remarks of thanks to the outgoing executive director, whose name appears with variant spellings in the record.
