WASHINGTON — Metro’s board of directors will vote Thursday to extend General Manager Paul Wiedefeld’s contract for two years and give him a raise.
Wiedefeld’s original contract was set to expire Nov. 30, 2019.
The board will vote on a resolution to extend his contract until the same date in 2021, with automatic one-year renewals unless either Wiedefeld or the Metro board terminate the agreement.
Wiedefeld’s base pay will be $435,000 a year, with annual raises of 5 to 10 percent based on performance. He currently makes $397,000 a year.
