On June 7, 2023 the Franklin County Fiscal Court approved a $500 payroll increase for full‑time jail employees and staff under the direct supervision of the County Judge/Executive across multiple county departments; the motion passed unanimously.
The Franklin County Fiscal Court voted June 7 to approve a $500 payroll increase for full‑time employees in the county jail and for employees under the direct supervision of the County Judge/Executive.
Squire Eric Whisman moved the measure and Squire Kelly Dycus seconded it. The court — made up of County Judge/Executive Michael Mueller and Squires Sherry Sebastian, J.W. Blackburn, Kelly Dycus, Scotty Tracy, Richard Tanner and Eric Whisman — voted in favor and the motion passed.
The pay boost applies to full‑time staff in the following offices and programs: County Judge's staff, County Attorney, Coroner's office, Human Resources, Planning/Zoning, Maintenance, IT, Dog Warden, Treasurer, Occupational Tax, Friend of Court, Crime Victims Advocate, Community Development, Solid Waste, Park/Golf, Road, and Fire.
