Board approves performance bonuses for Librarian and authorizes contract amendment
Summary
After a closed-session performance review, the board approved a 5% performance bonus and a 1.5% one-time state-authorized bonus for the Librarian of Virginia and authorized the chair to execute technical contract amendments to implement salary adjustments.
The Library Board, following a closed-session performance review conducted under the Code of Virginia, unanimously approved a 5% performance bonus for the Librarian of Virginia and a separate 1.5% one-time state-authorized performance bonus. Both awards were described in the meeting as "over and above the salaries listed in the Appropriation Act" and will not become part of base pay.
Vice Chair Malfourd W. "Bo" Trumbo moved the motions in Executive Committee; the committee recorded a roll call and certified the closed session before reporting the unanimous approvals to the full board. The board subsequently authorized the chair and board counsel to negotiate and execute technical amendments to the Librarian's contract to align with the recently passed budget and to permit future applicable increases to be applied without additional Board action.
The motions reference specific statutory and appropriation authorities cited during the meeting: Section 4‑6.01(D)(2)(b)(1) of the Appropriations Act for the 5% award and Item 469 of the 2025 Appropriations Act for the 1.5% one-time award.
