Scott County attorney asks board to approve higher pay step to retain experienced lawyer amid staffing shortages
Summary
The county attorney said statewide shortages have made hiring difficult; he asked the board to approve an out‑of‑cycle hiring exception to bring an experienced attorney (Mickie Meyer) in at just above $117,000 for a senior position after losing assistants to higher pay elsewhere.
The county attorney told supervisors on Sept. 23 that county attorney offices statewide face a shortage of applicants and staffing stress, and he asked for a hiring exception that would allow Scott County to bring a senior attorney back into county service at a pay level slightly above her previous $117,000 salary.
