Commission approves raises for county employees, pending board approvals
Summary
Franklin County commissioners approved salary increases for county employees, including school and highway workers and bus drivers, by a unanimous roll-call vote; final implementation was recorded as contingent on Highway Commission and School Board approvals.
Commissioner Eddie Clark moved and Commissioner Lydia Curtis Johnson seconded a motion to approve salary increases for all county employees, including school and highway personnel and bus drivers, as outlined in the 2022–23 consolidated budget. The commission approved the motion by roll call, 16–0.
The minutes state the changes are to be effective July 1, 2022, with final implementation contingent on approval by the Highway Commission and the Franklin County Board of Education at their respective meetings. The motion’s passage was recorded immediately after a failed attempt to adopt the consolidated appropriation resolution, and the minutes list the motion and the roll-call result.
The commission’s action authorizes pay changes at the level the board approved, but per the minutes the increases are dependent on the Highway Commission and School Board taking corresponding actions to enable payroll and contractual changes for county and school staff.
