County attorney says he will waive $3,000 boost and asks commissioners to allocate it to staff
Summary
The county attorney told commissioners he would forgo a proposed $3,000 supplemental increase for elected officials and requested that, if the compensation board recommendation is approved, the $3,000 be split among five staff members instead; commissioners discussed whether the compensation board's recommendation is binding and noted the item on the next agenda.
The county attorney addressed commissioners about recommendations from the compensation board concerning elected-official pay. The compensation board recommended a 3% pay increase for elected officials plus a flat $3,000 addition, the attorney said.
The attorney told the board he would accept the 3% increase but would "wave off that additional $3,000" for himself and asked that if the $3,000 is approved he would like that amount split evenly among five staff members: Hannah, Russell, Colton, Sam and Katrina. He said he did not believe the compensation board recommendation to be binding but asked the commission to confirm the authority’s action.
Commissioners said they would check whether the compensation board’s recommendations are binding and noted that the item appears on the next meeting agenda for formal action. No change was adopted during the work session.
