BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date:
Background: The Baldwin County Legislative Delegation is requesting that the Commission approve the Employment Contract for David Brewer as a part-time Senior Policy Advisor.
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.
