Audubon County supervisors weigh whether to keep compensation board after new law
Summary
Following a law signed by Governor Reynolds that dissolves County Compensation Boards on July 1, Audubon County supervisors reviewed a sample resolution and input from county officials and deferred a final decision to next week.
Vice Chairman Doug Sorensen and the Audubon County Board of Supervisors discussed whether to continue using a County Compensation Board following a bill signed by Governor Reynolds in May that, according to the meeting record, will dissolve all Compensation Boards on July 1.
Treasurer Deb Campbell, Recorder Miranda Bills and Melissa Thygesen of the sheriff’s department provided input and showed supervisors a sample resolution that would be required if the board decides to retain a compensation board. No formal resolution was introduced at the special meeting; supervisors agreed to continue discussion and make a decision at next week’s meeting.
The matter affects how elected county officers’ compensation recommendations are handled at the local level; the board did not take a final vote and did not specify funding or administrative details during the session. The board scheduled further review at its next meeting before any resolution would be signed or finalized.
