Madison County Attorney offers to waive $3,000 one‑time pay to direct funds to staff
Summary
County Attorney David Buchler told commissioners he would waive a recommended $3,000 one‑time payment for himself and asked that the amount be split equally among five employees in his office; commissioners discussed the proposal during the session.
Madison County Attorney David Buchler told the board he would waive a one‑time $3,000 salary payment recommended by the Compensation Board for himself and requested that, if the board accepts the Compensation Board recommendations, his $3,000 be split equally among five employees in his department.
Commissioners discussed the proposal during the work session; no formal action or vote was recorded on that specific redistribution during the meeting.
Why it matters: The proposal would reallocate a modest one‑time payment from the elected official to department staff if the board approves Compensation Board recommendations; it signals a preference by the county attorney to prioritize staff compensation but requires formal acceptance of the Compensation Board recommendation and board action for implementation.
