At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Nov. 6 Commissioner Ashley Hoffberger requested a public explanation for a delayed paycheck affecting roughly 200 county firefighters. County staff and the county attorney explained the cause and said the missing pay would be corrected on the next payroll run.
The county attorney told the board the board had approved the memorandum of understanding with the firefighters’ union and HR had completed required actions. The MOU then moved to budget for processing; budget staff were completing year‑end deadlines and, during the internal timing of those actions, the payroll cutoff was missed for the current pay period.
County counsel said the missed payment was not the result of a failure to approve the MOU but of internal timing and processing during budget and year‑end work. The administration said the missed funds will be issued on the next scheduled payday and that pay will be retroactive to the date the increase should have taken effect.
Commissioners discussed reporting and processes to prevent future timing errors and requested public clarification. The board did not take separate formal action beyond requesting the explanation and recording the administrative response.
