Committee reviews salary comparables for sheriff, clerk of court and coroner; no increases proposed
Summary
Staff provided statewide comparables for the sheriff, clerk of court and coroner positions and noted large, varied increases among counties; no salary increases were proposed at this meeting and staff will return with targeted comparables prior to a March decision.
Staff presented a master spreadsheet of statewide comparables for the sheriff, clerk of court and coroner roles drawn from counties that have posted rates. The staff analyst noted wide year-to-year changes in some counties and said the dataset will be updated as additional county submissions arrive.
"As information comes in, I will continue to update these," the staff analyst said, describing ranges that included single-digit and larger percentage increases from one year to the next.
Supervisors asked staff to target comparables by county size and population, to show per-capita or per-population comparisons and to include the most up-to-date data in next month’s packet. No changes to compensation were proposed at this meeting; staff said any decision must wait for a full discussion at the March county board meeting.
What’s next: staff will include more targeted comparables in the next packet and bring additional proposals for the committee’s March meeting so the county board can consider final action in March.
