WROTB Board Halts Dec. 31 Officer Contract Auto-Renewals for Review
1 articles · Updated · The Batavian · Aug 20
Summary
WROTB directors approved a resolution to stop full-time officers' contracts from automatically renewing when they expire on Dec. 31, preserving time for a board review.
Sept. 30 is the notice deadline under contracts issued in late April 2023; without action, those agreements would have rolled over automatically.
Timothy Callan and Chair Crystal Rodriguez-Dabney said no one is being fired or targeted, and the move is meant to avoid renewals occurring simply because the board did not discuss them.
The board said it is conducting strategic planning with a consultant and wants a comprehensive review of contract terms—including healthcare, severance and other benefits—before deciding what structure fits the organization going forward.
