Summary Explanation/Background
On May 4, 2021, the Board voted to appoint Monica Cepero as Broward County Administrator effective March 1, 2022, subject to negotiation of an employment agreement. The Board directed the County Auditor to negotiate the terms of that agreement on behalf of the County.
The agreement provides an initial base salary of $368,892 (the salary of the current County Administrator), and provides additional, customary senior employee benefits. The agreement grants each party the right to terminate without cause (with a severance payment required if the County terminates without cause, and at least 90 days advance notice required if Ms. Cepero terminates without cause). The agreement provides for minimum annual increases equal to those received by unrepresented employees (as a class).
