Marion County commissioners on Feb. 1 voted on a package of administrative measures, keeping the commission salary unchanged for 2025, setting salaries for other elected officials, delegating budget administration to two volunteer fire districts and approving several routine budget and grant items.
The salary decisions included setting the county attorney nnual salary at $75,009.20 and the county clerk t $65,007.24. The board raised the treasurer nnual pay to the same amount as the clerk ($65,007.24). The commission vote to leave the commissioners' pay at the existing level (the board discussed $18,096 as the baseline) carried on a 3-2 margin.
