7 <br /> 24 <br /> The Board of Commissioners previously considered a request from the ABC Board regarding <br /> the General Manager's salary in June 2021. An excerpt of the minutes from the Board's June <br /> 15, 2021 Business meeting is attached. <br /> Chair Price reviewed the background information for the item. <br /> Gary Donaldson stated that correlating the salary with department heads will not be <br /> feasible due to variations within that range. He said the salary cap of $132,379.20 is more <br /> likely. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked who sets the Clerk of Court's salary. <br /> John Roberts said that is determined by the state. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said it is hard to know if 20% is an appropriate cap. She said <br /> she does not feel comfortable making the decision without more information. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said she served on ABC Board in the past and that the board <br /> puts a lot of effort and time into evaluating the General Manager's salary. She said she is <br /> comfortable with the decision making by that board. She said that there is compression within <br /> the management team. She said she is interested in approving the 20% salary increase cap. <br /> She said that since the BOCC appoints members of ABC board, she is comfortable with this. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said the Assistant General Manager's max is close to the General <br /> Manager's. She said she would feel comfortable with the 20% cap. She said that by statute next <br /> year the Clerk will go up to $113,000. She said this should help things for a few years. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked what the goal is with the increase. She asked if it is really <br /> compression issue. She said that she examined the Durham and Wake County salaries and <br /> asked if the increase will also help retain talent. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley clarified that this comes directly from the ABC Board by statute. <br /> She said that if they want to exceed the Clerk of Court salary, statute requires the BOCC <br /> approval. <br /> Chair Price elaborated that the county has no input on the Clerk of Court's salary and <br /> that it is controlled by the state. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked if it should be higher than 20%. <br /> Chair Price said she does not know if it will enough and that she is still struggling with <br /> why the ABC manager's salary is tied to the Clerk of Court salary. <br /> Commissioner McKee said the ABC Board is a state board and has no oversight other <br /> than members that the BOCC appoints to it. He said that the state limitation in the salary is in <br /> effect with this decision and requires the BOCC to override that. He said he does not want to <br /> determine whether it's effective or fair because that's for the independent board to decide. He <br /> said that his interest is simply determining whether it should exceed Clerk of Court. <br /> Commissioner Greene referenced minutes from June 15, 2021. She summarized the <br /> discussion. She said she feels she does not have enough information to vote yes. <br /> Patrick Burns, ABC Board Chair, said that comparing the General Manager's position to <br /> Clerk of Court makes no sense. He said that the ABC system is a retail operation. He said the <br /> General Manager is responsible for taking care of employees, building stores, and overseeing <br /> functions of a retail business. He said there is a lot of complexity to the position, and it has <br /> grown a lot the past few years. He said the last time, in June of 2021, it seems it was looked at <br /> as a raise for just one person. He said it is really room for the ABC Board to determine the GM <br /> salary and not allowing this will make the compression issue worse. He did say that no one can <br /> make more than the General Manager. He said that the ABC Board is trying to get to a point <br /> where they can evaluate and compensate and retain employees. He said that the pandemic has <br /> increased sales and that those increases have also been shared with contributions to treatment <br /> opportunities. He said that they are above the statutory requirement for contributions for <br />
