called "Employee," as party of the second part, both of whom understand as follows:
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ the services of Mark R. Isackson as
County Manager (the County Administrator) of Collier County, as provided by Collier
County Ordinance No. 93-72, as amended, and Chapter 125,Part III,Florida Statutes; and

the parties agree as follows:

Effective May 3, 2021, the Employee shall have the authority, duties and
responsibilities as set forth in Section 3 of Ordinance No. 93-72, as such Ordinance has
been amended or may be amended or superseded in the future, or as such authority, duties
and responsibilities are set forth for a County Manager in Section 125.74,Florida Statutes.
Section 2: Term
A. Employee agrees to remain in the exclusive employ of Employer until
May 3, 2024, as specified in Section 20, paragraph D herein, from the

ending year of the Agreement, including any applicable extensions, the
term of this Agreement may be extended for a period of two (2)years by
the mutual written agreement of the Board and the Employee. It is

successfully achieve goals mutually developed and agreed to by the
Employee and the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the end date of
1

the first extension term, if implemented, will be September 30th, so that

the right of the Employee to resign at any time from his position with
