CONTRACT ADJUSTMENT EBF MANAGEMENT COMPANY The EDA Coordinator stated the contract between the EDA and EBF Management Company allows for a base compensation rate for the management contract. He noted this fee is for the monthly management services which include management, accounting, marketing, scheduling, and coordinating of events. He noted Mr. Beisner has requested an increase in this fee to raise the salaries of two of the employees of the management company. He noted at the time the contract was written the staff did not realize that basically the City Council /EDA would have to approve salary increases for these employees. He stated while he does agree some adjustment to their salaries is warranted, he does not feel the salary increases should be handled in this manner. There was some discussion regarding the contract with EBF Management Company and how it has been handled. There was a general consensus among Commissioners that the EDA should not be approving these salary adjustments. There was a motion by Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Cohen to approve the salary increase of 10% for two employees of EBF Management Company and directing staff to draft an amendment to the EBF contract to provide other means of salary increases in the future. The motion passed with Commissioner Paulson and Pedlar opposed. 6/25/90 -1- ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Pedlar and seconded by Commissioner Paulson to adjourn the meeting.
