December 2, 2002 Page 498 With mutual respect and appreciation the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners and County Manager Frank Clifton have agreed to a termination of his employment with Cabarrus County effective December 31, 2002. The County is providing a severance package in keeping with the terms of the employment agreement that the County Manager was offered upon his employment in February 1996. The newly organized Board felt a change in the appointed administrative position of County Manager would allow the Board greater flexibility in establishing future direction they would like to see County Government pursue. In keeping with the professional relationship long maintained between the County Commission and County Manager, both parties are confident a smooth and seamless transition process will occur. The County Manager wishes nothing but the best for Cabarrus County and the Board of County Commissioners. Each Board member commented on Mr. Clifton's knowledge and skills and the accomplishments that have occurred in Cabarrus County during his tenure as County Manager. They expressed appreciation for his service and wished him and his family success and happiness in the future. The Board then voted unanimously to approve the motion (see above.) as presented by Commissioner Privette and seconded by Vice Chairman Suggs. The Severance Package for Mr. Clifton included the following: January 3rd Payroll Check: SICK HOURS 917.6216 hrs. @ $61.1398 $ 56,103.20 SEVERANCE PAY: Six Months @ $10,597.56 $ 63,585.36 TRAVEL: $ 4,000.02 Six Months @ $666.67 HOSPITAL AND LIFE INSURANCE Six Months @ $284.40 $ 1,706.40 401K Payable to ICMA $77,341.00 @ 5% $ 3,867.05 TOTAL $129,262.03 (K) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, Freeman adjourned the meeting at 8:25 p.m. Chairman Clerk to the Board
