By October, the Board of Directors of the Fire Safe Council of Nevada County is expected to have voted on a new contract for Jamie Jones, the council’s executive director and CEO.
Her current interim contract, approved last month, grants Jones a base annual salary of $140,000, with an automatic 5% salary increase annually given acceptable performance. Additionally, Jones receives certain benefits, such as health care reimbursements, mobile phone reimbursements, and travel expenses.
In assessing whether a salary for a nonprofit executive is appropriate, there are certain norms that the council board should consider, said Jan Masaoka, CEO of the California Association of Nonprofits.
The Fire Safe Council of Nevada County has approved an interim contract for its CEO but will not vote to renew her contract formally until August or later, citing the need to first address concerns raised regarding a current audit of the organization’s finances.
In a public meeting Thursday, the council’s board members confirmed their CEO’s interim contract but did not yet formally approve a three-year contract renewal for the council’s Executive Director and CEO Jamie Jones, who has held the role since the nonprofit parted ways with former CEO Joanne Drummond in 2018.
The board will instead likely vote on Jones’ contract at its next Board of Directors meeting on Aug. 26, council members said.
