Board of Commissioners' Compensation <br /> The Board of County Commissioners authorizes that: <br /> • Salaries of County Commissioners will be adjusted by any cost of living increase, <br /> any in-range salary increase and/or any other general increase granted to permanent <br /> County employees. For fiscal year 2007-08, this includes adjusting Commissioners' <br /> salaries effective July 1, 2007 by the equivalent of the 3 percent Cost of Living <br /> Adjustment increase for permanent employees and adjusting Commissioners' <br /> salaries effective December 1, 2007 by the equivalent of the 2 percent In-Range <br /> Salary increase for permanent employees. <br /> • Annual compensation for County Commissioners will include the County contribution <br /> for health insurance, dental insurance and life insurance that is provided for <br /> permanent County employees, provided the Commissioners are eligible for this <br /> coverage under the insurance contracts and other contracts affecting these benefits. <br /> • County Commissioners' compensation includes eligibility to continue to participate in <br /> the County health insurance at term end as provided below: <br /> ✓ If the County Commissioner has served less than two full terms in office (less <br /> than eight years), the Commissioner may participate by paying the full cost of <br /> such coverage. (if the Commissioner is age 65 or older, Medicare becomes the <br /> primary insurer and group health insurance ends.) <br /> ✓ If the County Commissioner has served two or more full terms in office (eight <br /> years or more), the County makes the same contribution for health insurance <br /> coverage that it makes for an employee who retires from Orange County after 10 <br /> years service as a permanent employee. If the Commissioner is age 65 or older, <br /> Medicare becomes the primary insurer and group health insurance ends. The <br /> County makes the same contribution for Medicare Supplement coverage that it <br /> makes for a retired County employee with 10 years service. <br /> • Annual compensation for Commissioners will include a County contribution for <br /> each Commissioner to the Deferred Compensation (457) Supplemental <br /> Retirement Plan that is the same as the County contribution for non-law <br /> enforcement County employees to the State 401(k) plan. <br />
