On October 9, 2012, the Board completed the first step in this process by adopting a Resolution confirming its intent to terminate the Employment Agreement. The proposed Resolution is the second step in this process. Section 6. C. of the Employment Agreement sets forth the compensation due to the employee as follows: "C. In the event of termination in accordance with the procedures set forth in Subsection 63, COUNTY agrees to pay EMPLOYEE, in addition to any amounts then due EMPLOYEE, a lump sum cash payment equal to six (6) months aggregate salary within ten (10) working days after the effective date of termination.
