Amending the County Attorney's Employment Agreements The Board considered amending the County Attorney's Employment Agreement to allow for increased leave accrual. Commissioner Jacobs said that he does not see the changes highlighted on this document. He made reference to the last comment under"Background", and said that to say that a subordinate protected the County's interests by reviewing their superior's contract does not strike him as a clear statement of objectivity. He said that in the future he would rather have someone that is not part of Orange County government to review this. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve the Employment Agreement. VOTE: UNANIMOUS o.
