Conejo Recreation & Park District GENERAL MANAGER Jim Friedl DATE: March 5, 2020 BOARD OF DIRECTORS George M. Lange, Chair Doug Nickles, Vice Chair Susan L. Holt, Director Chuck Huffer, Director Nellie Cusworth, Director GENERAL MANAGER EMERITUS Tex Ward TO: Board of Directors --` FROM: Sheryl Lewanda, Management Services Administrator SUBJECT: Proposed Restated and Amended Employmen reement with the District's General Manager RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached updated "Amendment to and fully restated Employment Agreement between Conejo Recreation and Park District and General Manager" and authorize the Chair to sign such on behalf of the District. DISCUSSION The existing contract with the General Manager (GM) includes the following language.- Ian ua e: "The General Manager is entitled to all benefits (including but not limited to health and dental insurance plans, PERS retirement plan, holidays and leave accruals, option to participate in flexible health and dependent care spending accounts) available to Administrator employees as the Board may 77 amend from time to time . This text is intended to include the retiree medical benefit for the GM at the same level as that provided to the Administrators. Effective with new hires on or after July 1, 2009, the District discontinued the retiree medical benefit. With the imminent retirement of the Management Services Administratorible who is eligible g for the benefit), the prior replacement of the Recreation and Community Services Administrator (who is not eligible for the benefit), and the anticipated eventual retirement of the Parks and Planning Administrator (who is eligible for the benefit), it is foreseeable that the "benefits... available to the Administrators" will not include the retiree medical benefit, and thus it could be argued, the benefit would unintentionally no longer be available to the GM. The attached Amended and Fully Restated Employment Agreement includes language clarifying Y g the availability of the retiree medical benefit to the GM, regardless of the retiree medica0 benefit status of the Administrators at the time the GM retires. In addition, rather than adding another amendment to the existing agreement, we asked Mark Sellers, of Jackson Tid us Law Corporation to update the agreement to reflect its amendments and recommend other non -benefit changes for consideration.
