Committee delays salary-schedule action amid sheriff negotiations
Summary
The Finance Committee reviewed a proposed salary schedule raising nonunion wages near 3% but agreed to forward the schedule to the full board without recommendation because sheriff's office negotiations remain unsettled and some nonunion admin positions need clearer placement.
The committee discussed a proposed salary schedule that would raise many nonunion positions roughly 3 percent. Members said the sheriff's office remains in negotiations and that some sheriff's administrative positions and the circuit clerk's nonunion aide need clearer treatment in the packet.
A speaker representing the sheriff's office said it is important that the chief executive officer and other nonunion administrators not fall behind the wages of the employees they supervise. Staff and board office members described plans to ultimately break the county salary schedule into department-level sections so each office's nonunion employees are explicit.
Because some numbers remain outstanding, the committee decided to forward the salary schedule to the full board without a committee recommendation so the full board can act after final numbers and any negotiated changes are available.
