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.
