RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT APPROVING A
REVISED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE DISTRICT
GENERAL COUNSEL
WHEREAS, effective March 19, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District entered into a District General Counsel Employment Agreement
("Agreement") with Sheryl Schaffner, employing her as the District's General Counsel; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for an annual review of the General Counsel's
performance and determination of meritorious pay, which the Board has completed; and
WHEREAS, General Counsel's help with activities leading up to and following the
MAA election contributed significantly to facilitating the passage of the measure. Her objectives
were met, except where circumstances were beyond her control. Outside counsel selection has
been outstanding. General Counsel's working relationship with the General Manager has been
very good. She has been very proactive in anticipating issues, and in ways to respond. General
Counsel has used in-house legal expertise where possible, rather than using 100% outside
consultants, and making good use of networking contacts.
WHEREAS, the Board, based on its annual review of the General Counsel's
performance, in recognition of her outstanding performance during Fiscal Year 2014-2015
desires to grant the General Counsel a 4.0% increase to bring her base salary up to $212,152,
along with a 5 percent meritorious bonus ($10,200); and
WHEREAS, the Board and General Counsel have agreed on a revised Employment
Agreement to incorporate previous amendments, reflect currently accepted formats, and the
increased compensation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does grant the General Counsel by adoption of this
resolution an increase of her base salary $212,152 retroactive to April 1, 2015 for Fiscal Year
2015-16, a 5 percent ($10,200) one-time merit bonus in recognition of her performance during
Fiscal Year 2014-2015, and authorizes the President of the Board of Directors or other
authorized Board Officer to execute a revised District General Counsel Employment Agreement.
