Board of Directors

RE: Consideration of an Ordinance Extending the General Manager's
Employment Agreement
Dear President Bender and Directors:
The Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe is a regional trade association representing 220
member companies across the spectrum of the building industry. Many of our members are construction
customers and utility ratepayers of the District. We are very sorry we cannot present this letter in person
to you tonight.
Please consider this a formal request by the Association for a delay of your decision on the
General Manager's Employment Agreement (Agenda Item #12). The delay would be to the next TDPUD
Board meeting. This request is based on a need to schedule a meeting between CATT members,
TDPUD Board members, and TDPUD General Manager Holley primarily to better understand the
proposed employment agreement and justification for the salary increase. In addition, CATT members
have questions about the past Compensation Survey and future labor negotiations with other District
staff (management and unions). A meeting to answer questions and allow some interaction between
TDPUD Board members and CATT members is our goal with this letter. Nothing in this request should
be construed to imply or suggest that a less than excellent performance has been given by General
Manager Holley in his almost three years of service to the District.
CATT members were not involved in the ongoing agenda item before now. It was not until the
agenda packet was released last Friday and members saw the agreement terms over the weekend and
Monday that questions came up. That resulted in our Local Government Affairs Committee (LGAC)
Chairman Mitch Clarin asking President Bender to come speak at the LGAC meeting last night — which
he did. We want to thank President Bender for his time with our members at the LGAC meeting.
Thank you for listening. We look forward to your favorable decision on this request. Please
contact either of us if you have any questions.
