BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: Jan.I8, 2006 Division: BOCC
Bulk Item: Yes - No X Department: DISTRICT FIVE
Staff Contact Person: Donna Hanson
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Amendment to Employee Agreement with Thomas J.
Willi, County Administrator, raising the County Administrator's base salary by 4% to reflect
current pay to other municipal administrators.
ITEM BACKGROUND: City administrators of Key West and Islamorada receive a pay package
larger than the County Administrator. Given the scope of work and the outstanding job that Mr. Tom
Willi has provided during the last year, a raise of 4% or $5,867.44, is warranted. The effective date of
the increase will be October 1,2005. At its meeting on July 25, 2005, the BOCC approved a $10,000
bonus to the County Administrator which was never implemented due to an Attorney General's
opinion interpreting the state statute which precludes a payment of a bonus unless there is a bonus plan
with specific provisions in place.
