BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date:
02/04/2020 - Cliff McCollum First Amendment to Employment Contract
08/27/2019 - Jennifer Hutto First Amendment to Employment Contract
01/21/2020 - Brynn Amey Contract approval
Background: The Baldwin County Legislative Delegation is requesting that the Commission approve the Employment Contracts for Cliff McCollum, Jennifer Hutto and Brynn Amey. The current Employment Contracts for each will expire on February 2, 2021.
GENERAL BACKGROUND:
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 Baldwin County Legislative Delegation; further, that the personnel are only paid said compensation and benefits from the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation Office Special Fund.
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 employee, the Baldwin County Commission administers a personnel system where by the Legislative Delegation employee is considered a county employee (without merit classified protections), and the Baldwin County Commission maintains the special fund whereby the Legislative Delegation employee is compensated and benefits costs are derived.
