McCracken County Fiscal Court adopts ordinance updating McCracken County Jail salary table, corrects effective date
Summary
Fiscal Court adopted Ordinance 202418 on second reading to amend the McCracken County Jail salary and classification table, correct an incorrect effective date and align step increase anniversary rules; members also said a memorandum would propose shifting funds to allow a $2-per-hour wage increase.
On Jan. 13, 2025 the McCracken County Fiscal Court adopted Ordinance No. 202418 on second reading to amend the salary and classification table for McCracken County Jail employees and to establish anniversary dates for computing step increases for new hires and promotions.
Court members said the ordinance corrects inconsistencies that arose from cost-of-living adjustments and clarifies when step increases occur so jail employees are treated in the same way as employees in the clerk's and sheriff's offices. Court members also agreed to amend a typographical error in section 9 that listed an incorrect effective date; the court substituted "January 19, 2025" for the incorrect date.
The ordinance amendment passed following an amendment vote; the court then voted to adopt the ordinance as amended. Members said the court would receive a memorandum at the next meeting proposing to reallocate additional money into the jail medical line so that funds would be available to increase salaries by $2 per hour for jail staff. The memorandum was described as forthcoming; no fiscal reallocation motion was adopted on Jan. 13.
The measure was certified for public inspection in the judge executive's office as required by the summary language read into the record. The court took no executive session related to the ordinance during the meeting.
