As such, she is eligible for her final step increase to put her at the maximum of the range for the position and a merit bonus payment of up to ten percent (10%) of her base salary based upon performance, achievement of goals, and financial condition of SBCERA, at the Board’s discretion.
The confidential personnel components of the Chief Counsel’s annual review were discussed by the Board in closed session on May 1, 2025, and with the Ad Hoc Performance Review Committee on May 14, 2025.
