In June, 2008, the Board of Supervisors entered into an employment agreement with David J. Twa to serve as the Contra Costa County Administrator commencing September 8, 2008. Since that time a new employment agreement has been negotiated and is submitted for Board approval.
Effective January 1, 2012, state law requires that new and renewed contracts between local agencies and executive officers include provisions limiting an executive officer's right to paid leave or severance pay in the event of abuse of office or position. As required, these provisions have been included in the proposed contract between the County and Mr. Twa.
The County could be detrimentally impacted by the potential loss of the current Administrator.
