Earlier in the meeting staff presented Resolution 1‑26‑1F to set minimum salaries for elected officials in advance of statutory filing dates. County Administrator Carrie explained she used a prior 2017 schedule as a baseline, doubled the amounts and applied a minimum standard for this cycle. Commissioners voted to approve the resolution; staff noted the values are minimums the board cannot go below, and that actual salaries can exceed the minima.
