County employee receives $12,000 after resigning

COEUR d'ALENE - A recently resigned Kootenai County employee has received $12,000 as part of a "release and settlement agreement."
County Commissioners Todd Tondee and Jai Nelson approved the payment earlier this month.
Tondee said Thursday that human resources department employee Christina Anderson was employed for 10 years.
Her final day on the job was around March 12, he said. The $12,000 is considered compensation, he said.
He couldn't provide further details because it is a personnel matter. Public documents show she was making $34,000 last summer.
The payment was voted on March 4 during the commissioners' business meeting. Commissioner Dan Green was excused from the meeting.
Tondee said the payment to Anderson was similar to the one former community development director Scott Clark received.
Clark was given $30,000 on the way out after voluntarily resigning earlier this year.
Clark had been demoted to the position of long-range planner last summer. He became embroiled in the county's effort to revamp its land-use planning codes.
