Rosebud County adopts Resolution 12‑25 setting elected-official pay and approves 3% countywide raise
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 12‑25 to set elected-official salaries (amended to exclude coroner and deputy coroner for later discussion) and approved a 3% countywide pay increase for employees; the compensation board had recommended a 3% raise and an 18% raise for the county attorney.
The Rosebud County Board of Commissioners voted May 27 to adopt Resolution 12‑25 setting elected-official salaries, with an amendment to exclude the coroner and deputy coroner pending further discussion, and separately approved a 3% countywide pay increase for county employees.
Commissioners said the compensation board recommended a 3% across-the-board raise and an 18% pay increase for the county attorney. After discussion, the board amended the resolution to defer action on coroner and deputy-coroner salaries while moving forward with the other elected-official salary settings. The amended resolution passed by voice vote.
On a separate motion, commissioners approved a 3% countywide raise for employees. The transcript records the board as stating "3 voting, 3 yes votes" for the employee-raise motion. One commissioner had earlier noted opposition to including corner (coroner) positions in the initial resolution and those positions will be discussed further.
The board did not specify implementation mechanics (pay period effect dates, budget line adjustments) during the meeting; commissioners directed staff to incorporate the changes into payroll and to continue discussion on a salary matrix for coroner positions.
