Commission approves $18,000 counteroffer to county attorney after discussion
Summary
After discussion of historical compensation levels, the Meigs County commission voted to extend a counteroffer of $18,000 to the county attorney; the motion passed with one recorded no vote. Commissioners referenced a reduction in pay tied to 2008 changes.
Meigs County commissioners debated and then voted to extend a counteroffer of $18,000 to the county attorney during the meeting (date not specified). The discussion referenced a prior reduction in attorney compensation in 2008 and commissioners described the attorney as having performed well; the motion carried with one recorded 'No' vote.
Commissioners discussed prior compensation history and whether the proposed increase was appropriate. One participant noted the attorney had previously reduced his fee when he ran for judge and that a previous amount had been lowered in 2008. After discussion, the commission moved and seconded a motion to offer $18,000 as a compensation counteroffer and approved the motion; the transcript records multiple 'Yes' confirmations and a single 'No.' The audio does not identify which commissioner cast the 'No' vote nor specify the motion's mover or seconder.
Because the transcript contains inconsistent references to past amounts and the item was an internal personnel compensation decision, the article avoids naming a specific mover or attributing the lone 'No' to any particular commissioner. The next procedural step recorded was to communicate the offer and return any final acceptance to the commission for record-keeping if necessary.
