Appling County approves 3% cost-of-living raise for full-time employees, excludes elected officials
Summary
The county approved a 3% cost-of-living increase for full-time employees; the raise explicitly excludes elected officials and applies to salaried full-time positions. The change was already reflected in the proposed budget and will be applied as recorded.
Appling County commissioners approved a 3% cost-of-living increase for full-time county employees. The board clarified the increase excludes elected officials.
A staff member briefed the board: “This is the cost of living. It is reflected in the budget, but I do want it in the minutes that this board or approved a cost of living increase for all full time employees. This does not include elected officials,” and later confirmed the percent: “Now 3%.” Commissioner Edwards moved to approve the 3% increase; Commissioner Barnes seconded the motion. The motion passed on the board floor; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally by name.
The presenter said the increase had already been allowed for in the budget document. Commissioners asked that the minutes specify the exclusion of elected officials.
