Camden County accepts administrators resignation and adopts separation agreement

The Camden County Board of Commissioners voted after an executive session to accept the resignation of the county administrator and to adopt an amended employee separation agreement.

Commissioner (unnamed) moved "I move to accept the resignation of the county administrator and to adopt the amended employee separation agreement," and the motion was seconded. The chairman called for the vote and announced that the motion carried.

Earlier in the meeting, during a special-called session, the board had moved to reappoint and reaffirm the county administrators existing employment contract. At that earlier vote the chairman announced "3 for approval and 2 abstentions," with the two abstentions publicly attributed to ongoing legal matters by two commissioners.

The board provided brief remarks after the executive-session action. One commissioner said on the record that the county had "lost a great administrator" and expressed personal thanks for the administrators service; the departing administrator said, "It's been an honor and a pleasure." The board adjourned following adoption of the separation agreement.

No details of the financial or other terms of the amended separation agreement were read into the public record during the meeting; the transcript records only the motion to adopt the agreement and the vote. The boards published minutes and any executed separation agreement would be the authoritative record for the terms and any next steps.
