08/04/2026 Board Meeting Minutes
Board Discussion
District legal counsel reviewed the provisions of the General Manager’s employment agreement regarding the annual performance evaluation and potential contract adjustments. Counsel explained that the purpose of the annual evaluation is to facilitate open and candid discussion between the Board and the General Manager, clarify roles and expectations, identify performance strengths and areas for improvement, and provide the General Manager with an opportunity to address identified concerns.
Legal counsel further explained that, under the employment agreement, any salary or benefit adjustments beyond the approved cost-of-living adjustment are to be considered by the Board as part of the annual budget adoption process or at another time deemed appropriate by the Board. Counsel advised that the Board could begin discussions regarding potential compensation adjustments at the current meeting but that any salary adjustment would ultimately be considered during the final budget adoption process. Counsel also advised that any amendments to the employment agreement unrelated to compensation would require a separately noticed agenda item.
During Board discussion, President Norton stated that he preferred to defer consideration of any merit-based salary adjustment until the budget meeting on September 8th. He encouraged each supervisor to meet individually with the General Manager before that meeting to discuss the evaluation results, address concerns, and promote a better understanding of the differing evaluations.
A Board member agreed with President Norton’s recommendation and encouraged each supervisor to schedule a one-on-one meeting with the General Manager before the budget meeting.
No formal action was taken. Discussion regarding any merit-based salary adjustment was deferred to the budget adoption process, while the General Manager remained eligible for any Board-approved cost-of-living adjustment applicable to full-time District employees pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.
improved and indicated he was willing to present supporting documentation at a future meeting if requested.
- Mr. Brooks, d concern regarding the future direction of the District and urged the Board to place the interests of the community above personal differences. He encouraged Board members to act in the best interests of Sun ’n Lake and stated that those unwilling to do so should step aside.
- For the Record It appears to me that the negative “evaluations” from the two board supervisors serve nothing more than their personal vendetta/agenda. It seems inconceivable that Boz could earn such high marks from the other board members, and horrible marks from the other two. In my opinion, the two negative evaluations do not cite any specific shortcomings, rather vague assertions. Given these evaluations, it leads me to question what segment of the Sun n Lakes constituency these supervisors are serving. While we will not be able to physically attend the August 4 meeting, please accept this message as our support of Raymond Bossert.
