AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
WITH FORMER COUNTY ATTORNEY
JAMES T. HENDRICK
THIS AMENDMENT is made and entered into this /y day of� , 011, between the Board
of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, hereinafter "County", and James T. Hendrick,
hereinafter "Attorney."
WHEREAS, the parties entered into successive Employment Agreements, hereinafter
"Agreement" with Attorney, dated May 17, 1995, June 19, 1996 (extension of term), July 17, 1996,
January 14, 1998 and June 19'', 2002; and
WHEREAS, the Agreements have been interpreted by the County's auditors and the Florida
Retirement System (FRS) to preclude the inclusion in regular compensation, subject to state retirement
calculations, of the automobile allowance; and
WHEREAS, all prior Monroe County Attorneys and prior and current Monroe County
Attorneys, the employees of Monroe County normally under contract, have received automobile
allowance as regular compensation, subject to FRS contributions and included in retirement calculations;
and
WHEREAS, both parties to these Agreements contemplated that the compensation package,
other than employee benefits listed in the contracts, would be subject to County contributions to the FRS
and included in the final average compensation computation for calculating retirement benefits;
WHEREAS, the County has been making the contributions into the FRS for the compensation
heretofore described as salary and automobile allowance; and
WHEREAS, the Parties find it in the best interests of both to amend the Agreements to render
the existing contracts consistent with expectations of the parties; and
WHEREAS, the express intent of the parties is not to give a raise to the employee but to continue
benefits as envisioned by the parties; now therefore,
IN CONSIDERATION OF the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Both parties recognize that the purpose of this amendment is to retroactively reform the
contract(s) with the Employee, to include the former automobile allowance as regular compensation.
2. The amounts of automobile allowance, if any, reported to the State as regular
compensation, but which were designated by contract as automobile allowance, shall be amended to be
included as regular compensation. No automobile allowance or transportation allowance is awarded
under any prior contract.
3. Nothing in this amendment shall be interpreted to add to or subtract from the amount
reported to the State as regular compensation but is intended to confirm that the amounts reported to the
State as regular compensation shall continue to be designated as regular compensation. The intent is to
make this amendment neutral. Cost of living increases and merit pay increase, if any, under the contracts
shall remain in effect; however, there shall be no additional cost of living or merit increases calculated
under this amendment for the inclusion of the formally designated automobile allowance as regular
compensation.
