Director Sexton pointed out that should a candidate agree to accept employment without <br />a contract, Section 101.06 of County Code, which specifies that all attorneys hired after March <br />2000 shall be "at will" contract employees, would need to be addressed. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED <br />by Chairman Davis, the Board unanimously directed staff <br />to insert into the job posting for the County Attorney <br />position, a query regarding whether the applicant would be <br />willing to accept the County Attorney's position, without <br />an employment contract. <br />Director Sexton advised that at this point, there was no need to take any formal action on <br />whether or not to have the employment contract, and noted that the contract could work in the <br />Board's favor and did not need to include an extravagant salary and benefits. Director Sexton <br />recalled that on September 22, 2009, the Board had discussed a "total compensation" range of <br />$125,000 to $175,000 and he invited Budget Director Jason Brown to brief the Board on what <br />"total compensation" means within the County. <br />Director Brown presented a PowerPoint providing three scenarios on the total cost of <br />salaries and benefits for total salary packages of $125,000, $150,000 and $175,000. <br />Further discussion ensued among Commissioners and staff regarding base salary and <br />deferred compensation. <br />Renee Renzi, Waverly Place, questioned the expenditure of County funds on another <br />attorney, when one attorney had recently been discharged. Chairman Davis informed her that <br />the new attorney was a replacement for County Attorney William Collins, who will retire in <br />March 2010. <br />18 <br />October 6, 2009 <br />
