Commission increases sheriff’s pay, makes raise retroactive to April 1
Summary
The commission approved an increase to the sheriff’s salary, making the new rate retroactive to April 1; commissioners said the adjustment reflects expanded responsibilities during an operational transition at the jail.
The Grand Forks County Commission voted to increase the elected sheriff’s pay and to make the raise retroactive to April 1. Commissioners discussed that the sheriff assumed additional responsibilities during a period of operational transition and that the increase was intended to reflect the added duties.
Commissioners compared neighboring counties’ sheriff salaries during the discussion and debated the size and timing of any increase. After discussion, the commission approved a motion setting the new pay rate and making it effective April 1; staff were directed to implement the payroll change retroactively.
What’s next: the payroll office will process the retroactive salary adjustment and staff said they will review the broader budget implications during the upcoming budget cycle.
