The Iberia Parish Council on Nov. 19 amended the 2025 general fund to adjust the parish president’s annual salary and approved a package of pay increases for the clerk and assistant clerks.

Council members debated a corrected total for resolution 2:77 before adopting an amendment read aloud by Scott Rosslyn that set the parish president’s salary at $188,383.05 (with related benefit adjustments). The amendment and the main motion carried after a machine/voice vote.

Council also passed separate resolutions increasing the clerk of council’s pay grade (resolution 2:78) to $72,609.75, assistant clerk I (2:79) to $48,120.88 and assistant clerk II (2:80) to $36,927.80; sponsors said the changes conform to section 2-10 of the Iberia Parish Home Rule Charter.

Members who spoke during debate emphasized the charter-driven nature of the adjustments and noted prior discussion at earlier meetings. The council recorded no itemized individual vote tallies in the public transcript; chairs instructed members to vote by voting machine.

The council said the increases will be funded from the general fund or from previously identified fund-balance line items and treated as budgeted adjustments under the charter. The measures carry forward existing administrative pay-grade structure and were approved during the meeting.
