Title

Vote on a request by the ABC Board to approve the ABC General Manager’s annual compensation of $102,217.50.

 

Abstract

The ABC Board reviews its General Manager's (Matt Williams) salary once a year on his anniversary date of April 1st.

Last year he reached the limit, which is determined by General Statute Chapter 18B, 18B-700 (attached) which states that the salary authorized for the general manager as defined in G.S. 18B-101 shall not exceed the salary for the clerk of superior court of the county of the appointing authority which is currently $97,350.00/annually.  The statute also states that with the approval of the appointing authority the ABC Board can increase his salary.  The Board bases his salary on his performance and the performance of the 4 (four) Chatham County ABC Stores that he manages. Attached is a list of his accomplishments over the last four fiscal years.

His salary is part of the ABC Board’s annual budget and does not affect the County's budget.

The ABC Board is requesting a 5% salary increase for him that would bring his annual compensation to $102,217.50.
