From: Don Warden Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 9:24 PM To: Bruce Barker Cc: Commissioners; Monica Mika; Barb Connolly Subject: FW: CERR's 2013 Bruce, Bill Jerke has agreed to the terms the Commissioners wanted for his 2013 contract, which is the same contract ($20,000 base)with the only change to the contract increasing the base for the bonus incentive from the prior number of 2,045 employees reported to the new base number of employees being 3,549. Bill would like to get started making early contacts, so the sooner we can amend the contract and get it to him to sign and get the Commissioners'approval the better. Looking at last year's contact the 2,045 number is embedded in 2 or 3 paragraphs, so it may be easier to just change the entire contact to reflect the 3,549 number of employees. Once you have the contract just send it directly to 1 Bill for signature. We will then have to send out the same letter and IGA to the municipalities to see if they want to participate in the cost sharing arrangement again. Thanks, Donald D.

The county paid the bulk of the $20,000 last year because a number of municipalities where not players on that part of the contract. The Commissioners' feeling is that the $20,000 covers out of pocket expenses and covers a reasonable amount of the compensation for your time invested. In light of the bonus amount received this last year and the feeling that there is still potential for growth in the number of employees in the 2013 reporting with all the activity and permits taken out the Commissioners are not willing to increase the $20,000 to $30,000, even with the threshold going to 3,549. They were all in agreement on this one. They feel it is fair to you and to the taxpayers. Hopefully, you can appreciate their position and we can move forward with a new agreement for 2013 with the only amendment being the 3,549 threshold for the incentive bonus. Donald D.

Now that the dust has settled on our CERR project for 2012 I want to let you and the Commissioners know of my interest to help again in 2013. I would like to work on the CERR project for 2013 and feel, unless the Commissioners have different ideas, that we probably don't need to re-invent the wheel with respect to our agreement. I would work the project again with just 2 changes to the contract. I would change the threshold for the incentive bonus from 2,045 to this year's final number: 3,549. In return for the higher threshold for bonus I would like to boost the January-May diligence money from the current $20,000 to $30,000, payable at$6,000 per month for the 5 months. I don't know how this works with respect to the County deal with the Municipalities. My guess is that it is still relatively miniscule when compared to the nearly 8.4 million dollars the entire CERR program brings in from state and federal governments. Let me know if you, or the Commissioners, would like to talk about it or if it makes sense to everyone you and/or Bruce could prepare a new agreement. Thanks, Bill 970-284-6061 970-371-2532 4 Hello
