Rush County approves $247,211 additional appropriation and salary-ordinance adjustments
Summary
County recorded an advertised additional appropriation of $247,211 to correct annualized pay calculations for sheriff deputies, a 9-1-1 dispatcher and a correction officer; the board approved retroactive changes to the salary ordinance effective Jan. 1.
Rush County authorized an additional appropriation of $247,211 and approved amendments to the county salary ordinance to correct previously miscalculated annual pay amounts for several positions, including sheriff deputies, a 9-1-1 dispatcher and a correctional officer.
An official told the board the appropriation had been advertised and that the salary adjustments were necessary because the annual amounts shown in prior records did not match hourly-rate calculations; the changes were described as retroactive to Jan. 1. "So, the sheriff deputies base pay was based on .6 pay ... also the 9-1-1 dispatcher ... and also the correction officer," the presenter said while explaining the need to increase the annualized amounts.
A motion to approve the appropriation and ordinance amendment was made and seconded and the body approved the measure. The meeting record does not show a roll-call tally; minutes record the action as approved by the council.
Next steps: staff will process the retroactive salary adjustments and implement payroll corrections; the transcript did not include department-level follow-up dates.
