Mr. Cameron
Messrs. Soli and Hahn opened the meeting of the General Manager Subcommittee in that this
meeting was to review the performance of the General Manager. The General Manager has a
contract with the Light Department that contains a Performance Plan, which sets forth certain
goals and accomplishments that need to be met that were established a year ago.
Messrs. Soli and Hahn reviewed the General Manager against those goals.
Both Messrs. Soli and Hahn agreed that the vast majority of the goals were achieved.
The formula in the contract combined within the performance assessment actually yielded a
number in excess of four percent. The four percent was a number requested by the General
Manager and agreed to by the Subcommittee.
Mr. Hahn said that the General Manager has done a very good job. Mr. Hahn stated that the
General Manager has dealt with the Calpine issue, which is complex in which the General
Manager has performed well. Mr. Hahn also noted that the easement issue at Inwood Drive not
only did Mr. Cameron negotiate a deal to bring in $150,000 to the RMLD, but also secured
$245,000 to the Town of Reading. Mr. Hahn said in general, the system is reliable and. in very
good shape.
Mr. Hahn replied that Mr. Soli did the lion's share of the work on this year's Performance Plan.
Mr. Hahn said that some of the goals were kept, but a couple was added.
Mr. Hahn made a motion seconded by Mr. Soli that on the recommendation of the Reading
Municipal Light Board General Manager Subcommittee that the General Manager's
compensation from the period February 7, 2006 through February 6, 2007 be increased by four
percent.
Motion carried 2:0:0.
