TRUCKEE DONNER
Public Utility District
Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: March 30, 2007
Subject: Ordinance establishing salary for General Manager
Why this matter is before the Board: This matter involves adoption of an ordinance setting
the salary of the General Manager.
History: The salary for General Manager was last adjusted by Ordinance 2006-03 effective
January 1, 2006, a copy of which is attached. As you will recall, the District recently retained
the services of Koff & Associates to conduct a compensation survey. This survey was used
to prepare a draft salary scale for the position of General Manager.
New information: Attached is a draft ordinance for your consideration. The scale comes
from the survey that was performed by Koff & Associates. It sets the scale at the 70tn
percentile based on the agencies surveyed.
Following is the result of the survey in 2006 salaries:
Agency Class Title Top Monthly Salary
City of Santa Clara Director of Electric Utility $16,179
Roseville Electric Utility Director 15,335
City of Alameda General Manager AP&T 14,494
City of Santa Clara Dir of Water and Sewer 14,325
Plumas Sierra REC General Manager 13,624
Roseville Dir of Env Utilities 13,353
Truckee Meadows Water General Manager 13,352
South Tahoe PUD General Manager 12,133
TDPUD General Manager 11,904
City of Redding Director of Electric Utility 11,042
Truckee Sanitary Dist General Manager 10,725
IVGID General Manager 10,417
Median = $13,352
Average = $13,073
At this point, it would be appropriate for the Board to consider adopting the scale and then
choosing the actual salary for General Manager by choosing the step within the scale.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Board adopt the salary scale contained within the
draft ordinance and then choose a step and adopt the ordinance.
