FI",- -7 <br />SAY 2 9 1986 <br />B00f( 6 4 5SA, <br />Administrator Wright had asked to talk to him yesterday, it was <br />the first time he became aware of a problem. He got a call <br />yesterday afternoon when he was out on the golf course that this <br />meeting was being called to accept Mr. Wright's resignation. He <br />noted that this is the second time this kind of thing has occurred <br />in this county, and perhaps we are going to create a reputation <br />around the state for administrative turnover. Commissioner <br />Wodtke understood that the Administrator's contract states that <br />if we terminate him with cause, he is entitled to 120 days of <br />severance pay for 4 years of service, but if we are offering him <br />9 months, that is quite a deviation. He reported that he went <br />over to Mr. Wright's home last night and talked to him and knows <br />that the Administrator wants out, but he cannot agree to give him <br />9 months severance pay. He did not feel we should cast stones so <br />he intended to vote against the Motion. <br />Commissioner Lyons emphasized that the question of being pro <br />development was not raised by this Commission and the question of <br />different philosophies was raised by Administrator Wright himself. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt it is very difficult to get 100% cooperation <br />from someone who is unhappy about his job and about his location, <br />and believed that is the reason this has come to a head. <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that he gave Mr. Wright his word <br />yesterday that he would try to remain positive, but he sees some <br />effort by at least two Commissioners for him to be very specific. <br />Commissioner Wodtke interjected that he did not ask anyone <br />to be specific, he merely made a comment. He noted that the <br />Chairman had a long time to say something and he felt that he <br />needed to say what he has. He was not asking anyone to cast any <br />stones. <br />Chairman Scurlock understood that he is hearing that there <br />is some criticism in terms of not knowing what is going on, and <br />if that is a problem as far as time spent here in this facility <br />fulfilling the duties of a Commissioner, it certainly is not his <br />problem. He stressed that he is trying to remain very positive, <br />0 <br />
