5. “Just and reasonable” determinations for the Chief Financial Officer

The Board is required to determine that changes to a chief financial officer’s compensation are “just and reasonable.” See excerpt from California Government Code, Section 12586(g):

The board of directors of a charitable corporation or unincorporated association, or an authorized committee of the board, and the trustee or trustees of a charitable trust shall review and approve the compensation, including benefits, of the president or chief executive officer and the treasurer or chief financial officer to assure that it is just and reasonable. This review and approval shall occur initially upon the hiring of the officer, whenever the term of employment, if any, of the officer is renewed or extended, and whenever the officer’s compensation is modified. Separate review and approval shall not be required if a modification of compensation extends to substantially all employees.

The item requests the committee review and make a recommendation to the Board. The Board will make a declaration that the “just and reasonable” test has been met for the Chief Financial Officer.
