Summary
The council adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑HCCO‑50 to amend staffing and salary authorizations for 2025, including FICA, PERF and insurance adjustments across multiple funds.
The Howard County Council on Nov. 25 voted to adopt Ordinance No. 2025‑HCCO‑50, which amends staffing and salary authorizations for the 2025 calendar year.
The ordinance, as read by county staff, lists multiple adjustments including reductions to FICA and PERF in county general and increases to insurance lines: "Insurance, 1,013,000," and other fund‑level changes across community corrections, dispatch, plat book and recorder funds.
Councilwoman Lake moved to approve the salary ordinance as read; Councilman Roberts seconded, and the motion carried on a voice vote. The ordinance was recorded as carrying in the meeting transcript.
The changes are intended to reconcile staffing authorizations and personal‑service appropriations for the fiscal year; no roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript.
