Former Miami Twp. Administrator Greg Hanahan is to continue collecting his pay and other benefits for an entire year unless he is convicted of a crime the trustees unanimously agree “reflects poorly” on the township, according to a termination agreement obtained by the Dayton Daily News.

Hanahan, fired last week, is expected to earn $121,500, plus $5,000 in deferred compensation, in 2013, according to the township.

On Tuesday, the termination agreement, setting the terms of Hanahan’s departure, lacked only his signature, according to township officials.

No other changes were anticipated. “Not from the township’s perspective,” Assistant Administrator Greg Rogers said. Trustees Mike Nolan and Deborah Preston did not return phone calls seeking comment on Tuesday.

Hanahan, a German Township trustee and president of the Ohio Township Association, could not be reached for comment.

With Trustee Charlie Lewis absent, the trustees voted 2-0 on Wednesday, Feb. 20, to terminate Hanahan, who had been out of the office on accrued paid leave since Nov. 14.

The terms of Hanahan’s termination are effective Jan. 1.

The agreement entitles Hanahan, the township’s administrator since 2002, to full pay and other benefits enjoyed by township employees, except his car allowance. He is to receive a check at the end of the year, reimbursing him for accrued vacation, sick pay and other benefits.

The payments will “cease” if the trustees vote unanimously that Hanahan has been “convicted of a crime that the Board of Township Trustees unanimously finds reflects poorly on Miami Township,” according to the agreement.

The agreement also bars the trustees or Hanahan from making “any disparaging comments or disclosures, orally or in writing” against each other and releases the parties from claims against each other.

Minutes after firing Hanahan, the trustees hired an internal auditor. Mukesh Singh, the auditor, will do work including checks of contract bidding documents and other records to ensure against employee misconduct.

Last week, Trustee President Preston said the audit was a precaution. “We know of no issues or anything like that,” she said.

Hanahan was the second ranking township official fired in the past two weeks.

On Feb. 13, the trustees fired former police Major John DiPietro who was found guilty of several violations of the township’s professional code when he hosed down a naked 17-year-old girl in police custody. DiPietro has filed an appeal.

Also last week, the trustees hired former West Carrollton City Manager Tracy Williams for $10,000 a month to fill in during a search for Hanahan’s replacement.
