County committee recommends 3% annual raises for clerk and treasurer; board to consider at next meeting
Summary
A county committee recommended a 3% annual increase for the county clerk and recorder and the treasurer based on a five-county salary survey; board members agreed to place the recommendation on the next meeting agenda for final action.
A county compensation review committee told the Edgar County Board that salaries for the county clerk and recorder and for the treasurer are within range of peer counties and recommended a 3% annual increase.
A committee member said the survey of five similar-size counties supports a 3% raise for those two offices and recommended keeping current meeting pay structure for county board members ($1,500 annual salary; chair $2,250; $50 per face-to-face meeting). The sheriff’s salary and the state-set positions (sheriff and state’s attorney) were noted as not set by the county.
Board members asked Auggie to prepare the figures for formal consideration at the next meeting; members also discussed timing tied to election cycles and statutory limits governing pay changes during terms. No formal vote on salary changes occurred at the study session; the recommendation will be placed on the next regular meeting agenda for potential adoption.
