Board accepts Measure 57 funds and approves sheriff's lieutenant pay adjustments
Summary
The board authorized acceptance of a $109,700 Measure 57 supplemental grant to fund part of a parole/probation deputy for drug-related work and approved a salary-schedule update to address pay compression for lieutenant positions at an estimated immediate cost of $66,000.
Crook County commissioners on Dec. 17 approved acceptance of Measure 57 supplemental funds and a sheriff's office compensation update.
A sheriff's office representative summarized the Measure 57 supplemental award (presented as roughly $109,700 over two years) that permits partial funding of a parole/probation deputy to handle drug-related caseloads. The board moved to authorize the chair to sign the intergovernmental agreement and approved the acceptance of the funds.
The sheriff's office also presented a negotiated adjustment to address pay compression among nonrepresented staff and asked the board to approve a single lieutenant pay rate (with an eventual plan to add a captain step in the future). Staff estimated the immediate cost to right-size three lieutenant positions at roughly $66,000, which the sheriff's office said could be covered internally through vacancies and existing budget flexibilities. The board approved the salary-schedule update by motion.
Next steps: the board's chair will sign the Measure 57 intergovernmental agreement and HR/finance staff will implement the revised salary schedule as approved.
