Commission approves $1,000 annual pay increase for two Pratt County lieutenants

Pratt County commissioners approved a $1,000 per year pay increase for two members of Pratt County Fire and Rescue who were promoted to lieutenant, the commission record shows.

The motion covered Jared Shriver and Robbie Thomas. A commissioner explained the increase equates to $38.46 every two weeks. One commissioner moved to approve the pay adjustment and another seconded; the motion passed with recorded passage noted as "Past 2 0." The transcript records no further conditions or amendments to the pay change.

Discussion at the meeting noted that volunteers and other officers receive different training stipends and quarterly payments, but the approved motion applied specifically to the two lieutenants' annual compensation. No additional personnel actions were taken at the same agenda time.

This was a formal action approved during the meeting; commissioners recorded the vote as passed. The commission did not provide names of the motion mover or seconder in the transcript and did not attach additional implementation details beyond the dollar amount and the biweekly equivalent.
