RTD board plans to keep new CEO’s salary and contract from public until night of vote

The Denver Post: The salary and other contract terms for the Regional Transportation District’s incoming CEO and general manager have been hammered out by a negotiating committee, setting the stage for potential approval by the agency’s board next week.

But the elected board members have opted to keep the public in the dark about the terms of Debra Johnson’s contract until shortly before the expected vote Tuesday night. The contract itself won’t be made public until after the vote.

The decision, revealed during recent meetings of the GM Executive Search Committee, hews to the board’s close-to-the-vest approach to handling past general managers’ contracts. But it deviates from RTD’s common practice of including some other not-yet-approved legal documents in the public packets for meeting agendas several days in advance.
