Commissioners Decline County Classification and Compensation Study After Split Vote
Summary
A proposed $17,004 classification and compensation study from Public Sector Personnel Consultants was presented but failed on a split vote after commissioners raised concerns about prior county experiences and employee outreach.
A proposal to hire a consultant to conduct a countywide job classification and compensation study failed after a divided roll‑call vote.
County HR and an appointed commissioner presented a proposal from Public Sector Personnel Consultants, which would include position classification, a compensation survey and recommended salary ranges. The firm estimated the work would take 120–150 days and capped the project subtotal at $17,004. Presenters said the firm would meet with commissioners, elected officials and department heads and could finish before summer budget hearings.
Some commissioners supported the proposal as a way to update pay scales and to compare county pay to both public- and private-sector competitors. Others raised concerns about the consultant’s past work in nearby counties and about whether employees had been sufficiently engaged in prior studies; one commissioner said contacts in other counties reported poor outreach to employees. After discussion the motion to accept the proposal was moved and seconded but failed on a split roll‑call vote.
