Rawlins County raises legal counsel hourly rate to $120
Summary
The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2025-08 on Oct. 16, 2025, increasing the county legal counsel hourly rate from $90 to $120 to align with surrounding counties; the motion passed during routine business.
The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners voted Oct. 16 to raise the county legal counsel hourly rate from $90 to $120 under Resolution 2025-08.
County Attorney Chris Rohr presented the resolution and said surrounding counties pay $120 per hour; he asked the board to approve matching that rate. Commissioner Lincoln Pochop moved to approve Resolution 2025-08, and Commissioner Mark Mosley seconded. The motion carried.
The change applies to the county's pay schedule for outside legal counsel and was presented as an alignment with neighboring counties. Rohr also said he would check into new reimbursement procedures from the Department for Children and Families that may affect collections for legal services; no further detail or timeline for reimbursements was provided.
The board handled the resolution as part of routine business during its regular session; no roll-call vote details beyond 'motion carried' were recorded in the minutes. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in the Rawlins County courtroom.
