HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Board of Commissioners renewed Reno County Administrator Randy Partington's contract at their final meeting of 2023 on Wednesday as part of the consent agenda.
According to County Counselor Patrick Hoffman's agenda notes to the commission, the changes to the agreement are that the contract is for 2 years instead of 1 and the gross base pay has been combined with the additional income category for convenience and clarity.
The administrator receives a gross base pay increase equal to the standard county employee budgeted increase.
According to the contract language, the County shall pay to Administrator as compensation for his services for calendar year 2024 gross wages of $201,217.36.
This is broken down into $170,180.86 as the annual base salary and a vehicle allowance of $600.00 per month ($7,200.00 annually) for official use of his private vehicle within Reno County, along with a $23,000 match to his 457b Plan provided by the county.
There was a motion by commissioner John Whitesel to change the amount of notice Partington would be required to give if he were to leave from 60 days to 90 days. That motion failed for lack of a second. The overall renewal and the rest of the consent agenda were approved unanimously.
