Commissioners approve 1‑point pay increase for sheriff’s detectives
Summary
Sheriff Short requested raising detectives' pay from 88% to 89% to match patrol sergeants after a 2023 adjustment left detectives behind. Commissioners approved the change by voice vote and directed payroll to update the scale.
Sheriff Short asked the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 20 to raise detectives' pay from 88% to 89% of the pay scale so detectives would be equal with patrol sergeants after the 2023 adjustment that increased sergeants' percentages.
Sheriff Short told the board the change was affordable within the current budget. A commissioner moved to approve the rate change, a second was recorded, and the board approved the pay adjustment by voice vote. Commissioners instructed staff to correct the pay scale in county records.
The transcript records the board's approval; no individual vote tally was recorded in the meeting minutes.
