Harbor Board approves consent items, adopts 2.2% salary increase and names interim administrative director

The harbor district board approved routine business items, adopted personnel actions and recorded several board directions during its regular meeting.

Consent calendar: Commissioners moved and seconded approval of consent calendar items 2 through 8 after pulling item one (bills and claims) for discussion. The motion to approve the remaining consent items passed on roll call.

Salary schedule: Staff proposed a 2.2% increase to the publicly available salary schedule for OE3, Teamsters and unrepresented employees, effective July 12 (the general manager was excluded from the increase). A motion to adopt the amended salary schedule passed on roll call.

Interim appointment: The board authorized appointing Michelle Levina as interim director of administrative services through the end of September and approved a temporary salary increase to reflect the director entry‑level pay for the three‑month period (staff estimated roughly $5,300 in salary and $1,700 in benefits for that term). The motion was seconded and approved by the board.

CSDA election: The board reviewed two candidates for the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) Bay Area 'Seat C' and directed staff to cast the district's ballot for incumbent Antonio Martinez following a motion and second. Commissioners cited Mr. Martinez's active participation in CSDA as a reason for support.

Special meeting scheduled: Staff and the board president set a special meeting to review the proposed budget next week on the 24th at 10:00 a.m.; availability for remote participation was discussed.
