During the recent Prince George's County Council meeting held on September 30, 2025, significant discussions centered around proposed amendments to employee salary schedules, reflecting ongoing efforts to address compensation for county workers.
The council introduced two key resolutions aimed at modifying pay rates for different employee groups. The first resolution, CR 107, seeks to amend the salary plan for general schedule employees for the upcoming fiscal year 2026. This proposal was put forth by a council member at the request of the county executive and has garnered support from several council members, including Watson, Legay, Harrison, Ivy, Donoga, and Fisher.
The second resolution, CR 108, focuses on the salary schedule for the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 112 and the Prince George's County Sheriff's Lodge. This amendment is intended to align the county's salary plan with the terms of a recent labor agreement, ensuring that law enforcement personnel receive appropriate compensation. Similar to the first resolution, this proposal was also introduced by a council member at the request of the county executive and has received backing from multiple council members.
Following the introduction of these resolutions, the council moved to adopt the consent agenda, which passed with a unanimous vote of 6-0. This indicates a collaborative effort among council members to streamline the legislative process and address important employee compensation matters efficiently.
Looking ahead, the council has scheduled additional meetings, including a public health and education meeting and a health, housing, and human services committee meeting, both set for October 2, 2025. These upcoming discussions will likely continue to shape the county's approach to employee benefits and community services.
Overall, the council's focus on salary adjustments highlights the importance of fair compensation in maintaining a motivated workforce and ensuring the effective delivery of services to the residents of Prince George's County.
