The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners announced in open session that, following a closed session meeting, it voted to increase the county manager's salary to $235,000, retroactive to July 31, 2025.
The chair read the closed-session authority before the board entered closed session, citing North Carolina General Statutes §143-318.11(a)(6) to discuss the qualifications, competency, performance, character and fitness of public officers and employees.
