The Board delegates the authority to the Executive Committee to evaluate and set compensation levels for the CEO and CFO. Proposed compensation increases for the CEO and CFO must be approved by the Board if, 1) a proposed increase in base salary exceeds the current base salary by more than 10% or if, 2) a proposed bonus exceeds the prior year's base salary by more than 10% or if, 3) a proposed increase in base salary exceeds by 10% or more the 50th percentile of the compensation report issued by the independent firm. For Employees other than CEO/CFO: The CEO proposes an annual budget that includes an increase pool. After the agency wide budget is approved by the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors, a budget for salary increases then becomes available for each Manager to award their staff based on an employee's performance evaluation. All compensation changes are subject to review by the CEO and Director of Human Resources. And the CEO approves all compensation increases.</Explanation>
