Item B01
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: Jan.25. 2006
Bulk Item: Yes _ No-X-
Division: BOCC
Department: DISTRICT FIVE
Staff Contact Person: Donna Hanson
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Amendment to Employment Agreement with
Thomas J. Willi, County Administrator, raising the County Administrator's base salary by 4%
to reflect the agreement entered into with Mayor Nelson for $10,000 bonus after one year.
ITEM BACKGROUND: 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, 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.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: As stated above. At the January 18,2006 Board
meeting, the BOCC postponed this item to this date to discuss an evaluation of the County
Administrator and the approval of the attached Amendment to Employment Agreement.
