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 2008-09, this includes adjusting Commissioners' <br />salaries effective July 1, 2008 by the equivalent of the 2.25 percent Cost of Living <br />Adjustment increase for permanent employees. and adjusting Commissioners' <br />salaries effective December 1, 2008 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 />~r <br />
