BACKGROUND: The Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Executive Director is a CRA contract employee that reports directly to the CRA Board and manages three CRA employees. He routinely meets with the CRA Board's appointed Local Advisory Board to plan and execute the CRA Redevelopment Plan, and meets collectively and individually (when required) with CRA Board members to conduct CRA business and budgetary matters. The Local Advisory Board meets annually to determine the eRA's annual Plan of Work and then meets with the CRA Board in January to review and recommend approval of the Plan. CONSIDERA TIONS: The Executive Director provided a commentary and self-appraisal to the CRA Board for this year's appraisal. Enclosed is the Local CRA Advisory Board Chairman's support letter. Each CRA Commissioner's completed evaluation package is enclosed as backup. Exhibit A is a summary of all CRA Commissioner's scores. The CRA Executive Director's Employment Agreement provides for a lump sum Merit Pay if the CRA Board feels that the Executive Director has "met", "exceeded" or "far exceeded" the Board's expectations for the previous year. Merit pay may be awarded from 3% (minimum) to a 10% (maximum). By the existing contract, merit adjustments shall be awarded as a lump sum payment for FY2008 performance and not be added to his salary base. .- The Executive Director voluntarily waives the annual merit pay award provision of the employment contract for FY2008. FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient dollars exist within the proposed FY09 Fund (187) budget to fund the authorized Collier County 4.2 percent Cost of Living Adjustment. No budget amendments are necessary at this time. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact with this item. RECOMMENDA TION: That the CRA Board completes the mmual performance appraisal process for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Executive Director and waives the provision for an annual merit pay award.

I fon-liard this lettcr at that time of the year when my task is to advise you how our CRA Executive Director David Jackson is performing his assigncd duties and tasks. Having served as a corporate chief executive officer for private companies, I have had the experience of observing successful executives in carrying out their duties. David Jackson has effectively operated the CRA office this last year during a time while the country is experiencing a severe economic downturn, and we have realized positive achievements because of his skilled hands-on management. His honesty and work ethic is superior, and he also brings a vast visioning grasp of how the eRA area is to grow. He has managed numerous community projects and has set the stage for more positive growth when the Collier County economic market stabilizes and begins its recovery. David Jackson has worked closely with your advisory board to develop significant short and long-ternl programs with tremendous potential. He has developed strategies for those programs that will bring many improvements to th is blighted area. The Bayshore Gateway Triangle Local Advisory Board recognizes the fact that every day hc exceeds our expcctations. As Chairman of your CRA advisory board I look forward to working with you in the next fiscal year.
