Koochiching County sets county attorney 2025 salary, approves multi‑year wage/benefit package
Summary
The board approved a personnel committee recommendation on the county attorney's 2025 salary and endorsed a wage and benefit package covering 2025–2027, while noting a planned market study before the next contract cycle.
The Koochiching County Board on July 8 set the 2025 salary for the elected county attorney and approved a wage and benefit package for 2025 through 2027 based on the personnel committee’s recommendation.
The personnel committee recommended a 2025 salary consistent with the county’s broader wage approach; during discussion the committee and staff noted a 2021 market study and a plan to complete another market study before the 2028 contract cycle to ensure competitiveness. The board approved the personnel committee’s recommendation by voice vote. County staff said elected official salary setting is an annual duty of the board and may be revisited later this year if circumstances warrant.
Commissioners emphasized fairness across employee groups and noted plans to conduct a market study prior to the next round of negotiations so that all employee groups, including elected officials, can be compared against updated market data.
