Having invested over $60 million in capital improvement projects in fiscal year 2019-20, League City employees now have a greater incentive to invest even more in FY 2020-21.
League City City Council on Nov. 24 unanimously approved a Capital Improvement Plan Project Delivery Employee Recognition Program. Under this program, the city’s about 15 project management office employees—who are responsible for proposing and overseeing capital improvement projects such as drainage and street projects—will be able to earn bonuses based on individual and group success over the fiscal year.
According to a city memo, the first set of bonuses will be awarded in December 2021, after FY 2020-21 ends Sept. 30, at an estimated total cost of $100,000 per fiscal year. Performance will be based on whether projects were delivered on time, on budget and if the group reached the city manager’s annual investment goal.
For FY 2019-20, the goal was $50 million, and the project management office employees invested over $60 million after two years of investing about $25 million each. The next goal is $75 million, City Manager John Baumgartner said.
