Compensation committee recommends 2% market adjustment and 3% COLA for elected officials
Summary
The county compensation review committee recommended a 2% market adjustment and a 3% cost-of-living increase for elected officials and certain appointed positions; the recommendation was presented to the budget committee but no formal adoption was recorded.
Tianna Alcadore, member of the county compensation committee, presented the committee’s recommendation to the Lincoln County Budget Committee on May 19.
Alcadore said the committee “have agreed to, 2% market adjustment, to be in line with those other comparable counties as well as a 3% COLA for this year to keep some parity between, the next, top ranking score and below those elected officials.”
Nut graf: The committee reviewed progression for commissioners and elected officials, salary comparisons with similar counties, benefits, and written statements from elected officials before arriving at the combined market adjustment and COLA recommendation.
No formal committee vote to adopt the compensation committee’s recommendation was recorded during the meeting; committee members thanked the presenters and moved on to the next agenda item.
Ending: The recommendation will remain before the budget process and may be considered during later budget deliberations or by the Board of Commissioners when final budgets are adopted.
