Summary
Payroll clerk presented salary items and the court approved a 2.7% cost-of-living increase for certain elected officials per the CPI and approved incentive payments for elected officials who completed required training; magistrate-salary discussion was deferred for a later meeting.
Robin, payroll clerk, presented three salary-related items to the Boyle County Fiscal Court on Feb. 10: authorization of annual salaries for certain elected officials (judge executive, county clerk, sheriff, county jailer); a 2.7% cost-of-living increase for the county attorney, county coroner and county magistrates; and incentive payments for elected officials who completed a required 40-hour training.
After brief discussion about timing and the opportunity to revisit magistrate pay separately, a motion to approve the 2.7% COLA (tied to CPI) for the specified offices passed. The court also approved incentive payments for elected officials who completed the required training — Robin listed beneficiaries by name as part of the packet (Casey McCoy, Brian Woodford, Judge Bottom, Jamie Gay, Steve Sleeper, Tom Ellis, Paula Bodner, Barry Harmon, and Jason Collins).
Court members agreed to place some magistrate-pay items on a future meeting agenda for longer discussion. The COLA was described as consistent with House Bill H 810 (salary-setting reference noted in the packet) and the motion carried with a voice vote.
