RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the addition of two, five-percent (5%) steps to the top of the County Administrator (ADA2) salary range [from salary level BD2 7994 ($278,619.12) one (1) step salary range to salary level BD2 7994 ($278,619.12 - $307,177.58) three (3) step salary range]; and APPROVE an amendment to the Employment Agreement between the County and David J. Twa, County Administrator, dated July 1, 2013, to authorize a 5% step increase effective January 1, 2016, and a 5% step increase effective January 1, 2017, and to increase the deferred compensation benefit by $1,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The maximum cost of this action for fiscal year 2015/16 would be $9,702 including $2,514 in pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

On December 15, 2015 the Board of Supervisors conducted the annual performance review of the County Administrator. Based on that review, and satisfactory performance it is recommended that the current base salary of the County Administrator of $278,619.29 be adjusted by 5% effective January 1, 2016, and an additional 5% effective January 1, 2017. Additionally, it is recommended that an increase of $1,000 be added to the County’s contribution to the County Administrator’s Deferred Compensation Account effective July 1, 2016 and each year thereafter.

This amendment does not change the term of the contract, which expires on December 31, 2017. All other provisions of the current employment contract will remain in full force and effect.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The proposed salary steps will not be added to the County Administrator salary range, and the County Administrator’s contract will not be amended.
