Agenda 10/11/2022 Item #16K2 (To extend the term of the County Attorney Agreement by two years)10/11/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners extends the County Attorney
Employment Agreement to September 30, 2025.
____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To extend the term of the County Attorney Agreement by two years.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners and Jeffrey A. Klatzkow
entered into the County Attorney Employment Agreement, which was patterned after the Employment
Agreement with the County Manager. The original Agreement was scheduled to expire September 30,
2011. Since then, the Agreement has been extended every two years for an additional two-year term.
Section 2.B of the Agreement provides as follows:
Section 2: Term
B. On or before September 30th of the year immediately preceding the then 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
contemplated that the Board will base its decision on the question of whether or not to grant the
extension of the term of this Agreement on (1) the Employee’s performance and (2) the
Employee’s ability to successfully achieve goals mutually developed and agreed to by the
Employee and the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the end date of the first extension term,
if implemented, will be September 30th, so that the term of this Agreement will ultimately
correspond with the County’s fiscal year.
The Agreement is currently scheduled to expire on September 30, 2023. The proposed Extension of
County Attorney Employment Agreement would extend this by two years, with the new end date of
September 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no change in total amount of compensation (salary and benefits), funds are
appropriated in the County Attorney Office operating budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
item.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners extends the County Attorney
Employment Agreement to September 30, 2025.
