BACKGROUND: 

In accordance with the UMC CEO’s employment agreement, the Governing Board will review the CEO’s performance on a fiscal year basis and provide an appropriate merit salary adjustment and incentive bonus in accordance with the parameters of the agreement.  On August 17, 2026, the Human Resources and Executive Compensation committee of the Governing Board completed a review of the CEO’s performance and provided the following recommendation to the full Governing Board.

Merit = 5.75%, which equates to a fiscal impact of approximately $51,758.10.
Bonus = 125% of target. Which equates to 33.01% (See attached). The estimated fiscal impact is $297,136.47.
The recommended compensation is in accordance with the CEO’s employment agreement.

This recommended compensation was approved by the UMC Governing Board at its August 26, 2026 meeting and is recommended for ratification by the Board of Hospital Trustees.
