Franklin County delays decision on R3 road crew wage adjustments pending property tax reform
Summary
After an extensive discussion June 23, the Franklin County Board of Supervisors deferred a decision on wage adjustments for the R3 road crew until more information about property tax reform is available and set a revisit date of Sept. 15, 2026.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors on June 23 deferred action on wage adjustments for its R3 road crew, citing uncertainty about potential property tax reform.
The decision followed an extensive discussion during which county staff provided a department update. The board agreed it would be prudent to await additional information on property-tax changes before approving any wage increases and set September 15, 2026, as the date to revisit the matter or to act earlier if new information becomes available.
Jay Waddingham, the county’s Secondary Roads Engineer, delivered an update on department operations earlier in the meeting; the transcript does not record specific figures or a formal wage proposal. The board’s action was recorded as a deferral rather than an approval or denial of specific wage changes.
No formal motion text or vote tally for a wage increase is in the transcript; the board’s decision was recorded as consensus to delay further action pending external information.
