and conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties
agree to amend the Amended Agreement as follows:
SECTION 4:TERMINATION/SEVERANCE
A. This Employment Agreement may be terminated for acts by Employee constituting cause as
cause is defined in Section 3 and subject to the same process as set out in Section 3. In the
event this Employment Agreement is terminated for reasons set out in this section, prior to its
designated term, the Employee shall not be entitled to, nor shall County have further obligation
to pay, Employee's salary or benefits as described in Section 7.
B. Should the Board of County Commissioners decide for any reason other than those
described and set out in Section 3 (above) to end the employment of the Employee, the
Employee shall be entitled to:

SECTION 7: SALARY
Employee will be paid a base annualized salary of $151000,00, 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. If Employee is to receive a salary adjustment equal, as a
percentage, to adjustments received by all county employees such adjustment, in the form of
an increase, may be granted without amendment to this Employment Agreement. If
Employee's salary adjustment is in the form of a decrease or an increase greater, as a
percentage, than that of other county employees, such adjustment must be in the form of an
amendment to this Employment Agreement.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, County has caused this Amendment to be signed and executed in its
behalf by its Board and the Employee has signed and executed this Amendment in duplicate
Originals. This Amendment shall be effective April 23, 2016.
