Re: Interim CEO Offer and Salary Recommendation
Background:
Jennifer Walker assumed the Interim CEO role on January 2nd per the recommendation of
CEO Rawn and unanimous approval of the commission at the December 9th, 2024
commission meeting.
We have received counsel that it is the responsibility of the A&P Commission to set an
interim CEO salary.
With the increased responsibilities of this role in addition to continuing the role of Vice
President of Finance, we propose to adjust her salary during the time served as Interim
CEO, which is an industry standard practice.
Budget Impact:
There is not a budget impact as the CEO salary is already budgeted at $170,000 for 2025.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the commission approve a temporary salary adjustment of
$165,000.00 to be offered to Jennifer Walker for the Interim CEO role. This salary
adjustment would be retroactive to January 2nd and would conclude when a new CEO
begins employment.

Re: CEO Transition Policy Creation
Background:
We propose to create a CEO Transition Policy for inclusion in the A&P Employee Handbook as
we do not currently have one.
This policy will outline the process used to name an Interim CEO and propose salary
adjustments if applicable. It will also clarify the responsibility of the commission in this
process. Staff will draft policy utilizing expertise from SHRM (Society of Human Resource
Management) and will ensure it is reviewed by our legal counsel.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the commission vote to authorize staff to create a CEO transition policy
to be brought to a future commission meeting for review and a vote to be included in the
Employee Handbook.
