Houston County discusses FY2025 budget amendment for sheriff and coroner pay under Act 2025-132
Summary
At a brief administrative meeting, Houston County officials previewed a budget amendment to cover FY2025 pay changes for the county sheriff and coroner tied to Act 2025-132, noting a roughly $9,000 impact for the sheriff this year and ongoing increases going forward.
At a brief administrative meeting called to order at 10:00 a.m., Houston County officials discussed a proposed budget amendment to reflect FY2025 impacts of “Act 2025-132” on the pay of the Houston County sheriff and coroner.
An unidentified meeting official said the local law increased pay for both offices and that the packet includes the amounts. "Looking at maybe, like, $9,000 this year, will be the impact this year for the sheriff. And maybe $1,500 for the quarter," the official said. The official added that the change will affect salaries going forward every year.
The request was placed on the commission’s Monday agenda for formal consideration; the transcript records an objection when the chair asked if there were any objections to placing the item on the agenda. No formal vote on the amendment itself was recorded at the administrative meeting.
The matter matters to county payroll and ongoing budget planning because the salary changes recur annually under the cited act. The county staff indicated the detailed amendment paperwork would be available on staff desks for review prior to the Monday meeting.
No additional policy direction or implementation steps were recorded in the administrative meeting notes.
