VOTE: UNANIMOUS c. Amendments to Article IV-Employee Benefits, Section 28 of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance The Board considered approving amendments to Article IV-Employee Benefits, Section 28 of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance. Nicole Clark, Orange County Human Resources Director, reviewed the following background information from the abstract: At the June 11, 2013 Board work session, staff presented Pay and Benefits Recommendations for Employees and Retirees. The FY 2013-2014 Manager's Recommended Budget includes an additional County match of up to $1,200 for supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees. There was some discussion regarding whether or not the County match should be a flat dollar amount or a percentage of employee salary with a dollar cap. Only McDowell and Orange counties contribute a flat dollar amount towards employees' supplemental retirement benefits. Article IV, Section 28 of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance currently states that the County provides $27.50 per pay period to an authorized 457 or 401(k) Plan. The proposed Ordinance amendments state that the County will provide a contribution to an authorized 457 or 401(k) supplemental retirement plan as the Board of County Commissioners provides in the annual budget, and change any reference to the Personnel Department to the Human Resources Department Frank Clifton expressed appreciation, on behalf of the County employees, to the Board for these actions. Chair Jacobs said he hoped the same would be done for the health insurance. Commissioner Gordon asked if the county attorney wanted to modify how this should be stated. John Roberts said since the Board codified ordinances last year, general ordinances should be referred to by article, chapter and title, rather than by a title. He said the attorney's office would work to fix these abstracts to avoid confusion in the future. Commissioner Gordon noted that there is no section 28, and she expressed concern that there is not a glitch. John Roberts said this was a typo in the abstract, and this is an amendment to article 4, chapter 28, personnel. A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee with changes to approve amendments to Article IV-Employee Benefits, Article 4, Chapter 28 of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance which states that the County will provide a contribution to an authorized 457 or 401(k) supplemental retirement plan as the Board of County Commissioners provided in the annual budget, with an additional County match of up to $1,200 for supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees.
