Clare County commissioners approve three-year raise for prosecutor
Summary
The Clare County Board of Commissioners approved a three-step, three-year pay increase for the county prosecutor, moving the base to $105,000 in year one, $110,000 in year two and $115,000 in year three; the board said the change fits the current budget and requires no adjustment.
The Clare County Board of Commissioners voted to raise the county prosecutor's salary across three years, beginning at $105,000 in year one and reaching $115,000 in year three.
Board members said the county's Wage and Personnel Committee compared salaries with similar counties and recommended staged increases to bring the prosecutor's pay closer to the regional average. The board's discussion included confirmation that the increases would come from the current budget and would not require a separate budget amendment.
A motion to accept the committee's recommendation was made and seconded; the board then conducted a roll-call vote. Commissioners recorded in the roll call as voting yes included Majeski, Jenkins, Haussler, Reinhart, Gross, Gilmore, Kauflin and Haskell. Commissioner Rositis was recorded as voting no. The chair announced the motion carried.
The board clarified that the pay adjustment applied only to the prosecutor position and that an earlier permission to adjust a chief assistant's pay had already been handled separately.
The board did not specify an effective date in the meeting discussion beyond the staged years described, and no amendments to the three-step schedule were recorded at the meeting.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
