ORANGE COUNTY THIRD EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NORTH CAROLINA THIS AMENDMENT, made and entered into this the 4th day of June 2019, by and between Orange County, a political subdivision of the State of North Carolina, hereinafter called “County,” party of the first part, and Bonnie Hammersley, hereinafter called “Employee,” party of the second part: WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the County and Employee entered into an Employment Agreement dated May 22, 2014, for the management of the general operations of the County government, as amended (hereinafter the “Original Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the County and Employee desire to amend the Original Agreement, while keeping in effect all terms and conditions of the Original Agreement, as amended, not inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth below. NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements made herein, the parties agree to amend the Original Agreement as follows: SECTION 7: SALARY Employee will receive an annualized salary of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), payable on the same schedule as for other County employees. Changes to Employee’s compensation shall be administered in a manner similar to other county employees subject to an evaluation process administered by the Board of County Commissioners. SECTION 11: RETIREMENT Employee will participate in the North Carolina Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement System, with the County contributing the employer’s share to that retirement program at a rate consistent with other County employees. Upon her retirement, at any age, the County agrees to pay 100 percent of Employee’s share of costs under the county health plan in which it is enrolled on the effective date of her retirement. If under age 65 participation will be the group plan until age 65 at which time participation will transition to the Medicare Supplement Plan. Upon transition to the Medicare Supplement Plan County will continue to pay 100 percent of Employee’s share of costs. (The amendment to Section 7 herein is effective only if the Board of County Commissioners approves a 2% salary adjustment to all County employees for the 2019-2020 fiscal year and is inclusive of any such 2% salary adjustment. If a 2% salary adjustment would result in an amount greater than $200,000.00, employee shall receive the adjustment rather than the flat amount set out in Section 7.) IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed by the parties hereto and is effective July 1, 2019.
