14. COMMISSIONER ITEMS <br />14.A. COMMISSIONER WESLEY S. DAVIS, CHAIRMAN <br />14.A. 1. ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEYS' CONTRACTS <br />Chairman Davis voiced concern over the County Attorney and County Administrator's <br />severance packages. He found it interesting that the severance packages would allow up to 12 <br />months for termination. He felt that one month of severance for every twelve months was a little <br />more than what he felt comfortable with. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, for discussion <br />to allow one month of severance for each year up to three <br />years, then one additional month of severance for every <br />additional five years of service, with a cap of six months. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued regarding contracts, severance packages, termination of <br />employees, and whether certain individuals work/worked with a contract and/or severance <br />package. <br />Chairman Davis questioned the governing Ordinance and wanted direction for future <br />assistance for those who already have contracts. Attorney Collins conveyed that the Ordinance <br />could be changed to reflect that Assistant County Attorneys do not require contracts, and that it <br />would be applied as such when going forward, but that it could not be applied retroactively. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan suggested waiting until the new County Attorney is hired to see <br />what his preference would be regarding contracts and severance packages. <br />Commissioner Solari agreed with Commissioner O'Bryan, and wanted to table or <br />suspend his Motion until the new County Attorney is hired. <br />33 <br />October 13, 2009 <br />
