Commission, the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation and Krista Bonner, applicable to the position of Legislative Assistant, subject to the terms set forth in the Employment Contract; and

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: November 21, 2017
Background: Last Employment Agreement for Krista Bonner was approved by the Commission on November 21, 2017, for a twelve (12) month period. The current contract expires November 20, 2018. On September 7, 2018, the Legislative Delegation requested that the employment contract be renewed for a three (3) year period.
Applicable Baldwin County local laws authorize, among other things, the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation to select personnel who serve at the pleasure of said Delegation; further, that the personnel may be considered county employees for the purpose of being eligible for benefits; further, that the personnel may contract for employment with either the Baldwin County Commission or the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation; further, that the personnel are only paid the compensation and benefits from the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation Office Special Fund.
The Legislative Delegation's request requires the execution of an Employment Contract between the contract employee, the Legislative Delegation and the Commission. The purpose of the tri-party employment contract is simple as the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation sets the compensation and certain benefits and evaluates the assistants, the Baldwin County Commission administers a personnel system whereby the assistants are considered county employees (without merit classified protections), and the Baldwin County Commission maintains the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation Office Special Fund and whereby the assistants are compensated and benefits costs are derived.
