Murray County approves settlement and sets sheriff salary at $125,000
Summary
After a closed session, the Murray County Board of Commissioners approved a settlement resolving a sheriff salary appeal and adopted a resolution setting the county sheriff's 2025 salary at $125,000, both by voice vote.
The Murray County Board of Commissioners approved a settlement with Sheriff Heath Landsman and adopted a resolution setting the county sheriff's 2025 salary at $125,000 following a closed-session discussion.
Board Chair (speaker 1) moved to approve the settlement agreement “between Murray County and Murray County Sheriff Heath Landsman regarding sheriff's salary appeal,” and the board carried the motion by voice vote. Immediately after, the board moved and approved a resolution fixing the sheriff’s 2025 salary at $125,000 “pursuant to the settlement of the salary appeal.”
The motions were presented as formal board action after the board left closed session under Minnesota Statute 13D.05. No additional amendments or roll-call vote counts were recorded in the transcript; commissioners indicated approval by saying “aye.”
The settlement and salary resolution close the matter described during the closed-session portion of the meeting; the transcript does not record the settlement’s financial terms beyond the salary figure, nor does it report whether the sheriff or his counsel spoke at public session after the vote. The board did not discuss further budgetary offsets or implementation dates in the recorded public remarks.
The board moved on to other agenda items after adopting the resolution.
