Clinton County hires consultants for salary survey and adopts 2026 salary ordinance
Summary
The Clinton County Council authorized a salary‑survey engagement with Wagner, Irwin & Shealy (estimated $8,800–$10,500) to update pay data and approved amendments to the 2025 salary ordinance and a 2026 salary ordinance setting new wage rates; votes were unanimous.
The Clinton County Council voted to hire Wagner, Irwin & Shealy to update the county’s salary survey and approved both adjustments to the 2025 salary ordinance and a new 2026 salary ordinance establishing next year’s wage rates.
Council members discussed the engagement letter and a cost range that the chair described as roughly $8,800 to $10,500. The firm’s work will update salary figures only — the council said most classification work remains in place, so the project will be an update of pay numbers used in planning the 2027 budget.
Council member Carol moved to accept the engagement; Mike seconded. The motion carried 7–0. Later in the meeting the council approved two procedural salary items: amendments to the 2025 salary ordinance to reflect recent in‑year changes (including extension office and health administrator adjustments) and the 2026 salary ordinance that sets the starting point for next year’s pay scales. Both votes carried unanimously.
Council members said the survey will help planners as they prepare the 2027 budget and noted the 2026 ordinance may require further adjustments during the year.
