Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board Request for Salary Range Update for the ABC <br /> Board General Manager <br /> The Board considered a request from the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board to update <br /> the ABC General Manager's salary range to either correlate to that of a County department <br /> head or increase the salary cap for the ABC General Manager by 20% to $132,379.20. <br /> BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statutes stipulate that the salary of the General <br /> Manager of a local ABC board "shall not exceed the salary authorized by the General <br /> Assembly for the clerk of superior court of the county in which the appointing authority <br /> was originally incorporated unless such compensation is otherwise approved by the <br /> appointing authority." <br /> The Chair of the Orange County ABC Board has requested that the Board of <br /> Commissioners consider allowing the ABC Board to grant a performance based salary <br /> increase to the ABC Board's General Manager that exceeds the State limitation. The <br /> FY2021-22 authorized salary for the Orange County Clerk of Superior Court is $110,316. <br /> The ABC General Manager's current salary is within statutory maximum at $110,316. <br /> According to the ABC Board's compensation policies, a performance rating of average or <br /> abovewould qualify for an increase of between three percent (3%) and five percent (5%). <br /> The ABC Board General Manager does not receive any additional compensation beyond <br /> the amount reported in his annual salary. The ABC Board Chair has provided the <br /> attached memorandum to support the ABC Board's request. The ABC Board Chair has <br /> indicated that updating the General Manager's salary range will address salary <br /> compression and align with other ABC Boards. <br /> The ABC Board Chair is requesting correlating the General Manager's salary range to that <br /> of a County department head. If that request is not BOCC approved, then the ABC Chair <br /> requests to increase the salary cap for the General Manager position by 20% to <br /> $132,379.20. The Durham and Wake counties' ABC General Manager caps are $145,000 <br /> and $194,463 respectively. <br />
