Board approves holiday bonuses for county employees; vote recorded as 6–0–1
Summary
Supervisors approved $500 bonuses for full-time county employees and $250 for part-time employees, with the county covering taxes so employees receive those net amounts; the recorded vote was 6–0–1 (one abstention).
County staff proposed holiday bonuses for county employees, recommending parity with the school board’s action: $500 for full-time employees and $250 for part-time employees. Unidentified Speaker 2 said the county would cover payroll taxes so employees would receive the net amounts ($500/$250).
Board members discussed scope (including agencies such as the library) and managerial oversight; a motion and second were made. The chair recorded an abstention during the vote and then announced the tally as 6–0–1 in favor of granting the bonuses. Staff will administer the payments in December.
The board discussed that similar bonuses had been paid earlier in the year under state budget recommendations and that the total cost for the proposed bonus level last year was just under $108,000; staff indicated the county budgeted for previous bonuses and expected the December payments to be manageable within current appropriations.
