1 section 7E.5, other than the department of
2 administrative services, if the department is
3 established in law, or the department of management,
4 as a charter agency by July 1, 2003. The designation
5 of a charter agency shall be for a period of five
6 years which shall terminate as of June 30, 2008. The
7 purpose of designating a charter agency is to grant
8 the agency additional authority as provided by this
9 chapter while reducing the total appropriations to the
10 agency.
11 2. CHARTER AGENCY DIRECTORS.
12 a. Prior to each fiscal year, or as soon
13 thereafter as possible, the governor and each director
14 of a designated charter agency shall enter into an
15 annual performance agreement which shall set forth
16 measurable organization and individual goals for the
17 director in key operational areas of the director's
18 agency. The annual performance agreement shall be
19 made public and a copy of the agreement shall be
20 submitted to the general assembly.
21 b. In addition to the authority granted the
22 governor as to the appointment and removal of a
23 director of an agency that is a charter agency, the
24 governor may remove a director of a charter agency for
25 misconduct or for failure to achieve the performance
26 goals set forth in the annual performance agreement.
27 c. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
28 contrary, the governor may set the salary of a
29 director of a charter agency under the pay plan for
30 exempt positions in the executive branch of
31 government. In addition, the governor may authorize
32 the payment of a bonus to a director of a charter
33 agency in an amount not in excess of fifty percent of
34 the director's annual rate of pay, based upon the
35 governor's evaluation of the director's performance in
36 relation to the goals set forth in the annual
37 performance agreement.
38 d. A director of a charter agency may authorize
39 the payment of bonuses to employees of the charter
40 agency in a total amount not in excess of fifty
41 percent of the director's annual rate of pay, based
42 upon the director's evaluation of the employees'
43 performance.
44 3. APPROPRIATIONS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT.
45 a. It is the intent of the general assembly that
46 appropriations to a charter agency for any fiscal year
47 shall be reduced, with a target reduction of ten
48 percent for each charter agency, from the
49 appropriation that would otherwise have been enacted
50 for that charter agency.
