Montgomery County commissioners advance pay‑plan amendment totaling about $1.4 million; vote set for July
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a proposed pay‑plan amendment that would raise multiple pay grades and discussed making the increase retroactive; staff put the projected cost at $1,405,076 and commissioners agreed to schedule a vote for the July meeting.
Montgomery County commissioners moved to advance a proposed amendment to the county pay plan that would raise multiple employee pay grades and schedule a formal vote in July.
The commission information session heard from staff that the amendment would provide a 5% increase for administrative grades A01–A08, 3% for A09–A15, 5% for service and maintenance positions, and 3% for corrections staff. Staff estimated the projected cost at $1,405,076 and said the increases would take effect at the start of the new fiscal year on Oct. 1 unless the commission directs otherwise (S5).
Commissioners pressed staff on timing. One commissioner asked why the increases could not be effective immediately; staff replied implementation would require setting up new payroll schedules but said the commission could make the raises retroactive. “We can definitely make it retroactive to today’s date,” staff said (S2). The chair noted staff could make the change retroactive to the second pay period in May if the commission approved it (S7).
Commissioners agreed to continue the discussion in a follow-up session and to place the pay‑plan amendment on the July meeting agenda for a vote. Staff said they would set up meetings to review nine outstanding positions flagged during reclassification, including positions in tax and audit, before the July vote (S5).
