Personnel Committee
2000-2001

The primary responsibility of the Personnel Committee is to conduct an annual review of the existing personnel policies and make recommendations for changes, additions, or deletions. These will be brought before the Board for action. When necessary, proposed changes will be reviewed by legal counsel. If possible, any changes with written rationale should be sent to the Trustees prior to the meeting at which they will be discussed.

Working with the Executive Director, the Committee will review all job descriptions and staffing patterns in relation to our current Strategic Plan.

During spring, the Committee will review the recommendations of the Executive Director concerning job performance of the NOLA staff and make recommendations regarding salaries, pay rates, and benefits for the next fiscal year in conjunction with the Finance Committee. These reviews and recommendations must be completed in time to permit the Finance Committee to make its recommendations to the Board at its June meeting.

During spring, the Committee will assess the Executive Director's and the Clerk-Treasurer's job performance during the current fiscal year. Prior to its deliberations, the committee will solicit input from all Board members concerning the performance of the Executive Director and the Clerk-Treasurer. Work and job performance will be measured against the goals outlined in the Strategic Plan. The Committee will recommend a salary and benefit package for the Executive Director and Clerk-Treasurer for the next fiscal year. This must be accomplished with time remaining for the Finance Committee to formulate a recommendation to the Board at its June meeting.

The Committee will review any personnel issue, which develops, in a timely manner and consult legal counsel when necessary.
