Staff to send letters proposing 3% pay increase for elected officials; court to consider as part of budget process
Summary
At the Aug. 11 workshop, county staff said they would send letters to elected officials proposing a 3% salary increase; no formal motion or vote occurred at the workshop, and staff described the communication as part of the wider budget process ahead of an Aug. 20 vote on the tax rate.
NUECES COUNTY — During the Aug. 11 budget workshop, county budget staff said they plan to send letters to elected officials proposing a 3% salary increase for those offices and asked if there were any objections before moving forward.
Staff identified in the record as Steve said the letters would go out this Friday and that the proposal was part of the packet under review. No formal motion or roll-call vote on the salary proposal took place during the workshop.
Context: staff framed the salary item as part of the larger 2014–15 budget materials they were distributing; commissioners did not record a final decision at the workshop and staff said they would proceed with communications and return with any required follow-up at future meetings.
Next steps: staff said they will send the letters and report back at subsequent meetings. Any formal change to elected-official pay requires the court to include the item on a posted agenda and vote during a properly noticed meeting.
