In <br /> order to ensure continuity of management and operations during the preparation of the 2014- <br /> 2015 fiscal year budget, it is necessary to extend the term of the interim manager's contract. <br /> The attached contract amendment extends the term by three months to June 30, 2014. In <br /> consideration of the extra services provided the County shall allow Michael Talbert, individually, <br /> to participate in the County health plan for thirty months after the date of his retirement up to <br /> and including December 31, 2016. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: At current costs for this particular health plan's monthly cost to the <br /> County would be $628.15. At current health plan cost, the cost for the 30 month term would be <br /> $18,845. Three months' additional salary will total $41,928 ($13,976/month). <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Attorney recommends the Board approve the amended <br /> contract. <br />
