From: Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor
Report Title: Amendment to Employment Agreement Between the County and County Administrator Monica Nino.
☐Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Board Chair to sign an amendment to the Employment Agreement between the County and County Administrator Monica Nino, effective February 3, 2026, to authorize a modification of the agreement’s vacation buy-back provision.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact. The amended contract would allow a vacation buy-back to occur once in each calendar year instead of once every thirteen months.
BACKGROUND:
On November 18, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved Management Benefits Resolution No. 2025/388. Section 16 of the Management Benefits Resolution authorizes employees covered by the resolution to elect payment of a portion of their annual vacation accrual once in each calendar year. The current Employment Agreement between the County and County Administrator authorizes a vacation buy-back of up to 114 vacation hours once every 13 months. The proposed amendment to the Employment Agreement would authorize the County Administrator to elect to buy back up to 114 vacation hours once every calendar year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County Administrator would not be eligible for vacation buy-back once every calendar year
