Council agrees to 4% salary increases for detention maintenance staff and county attorneys in 2025
Summary
After Sheriff Brent Miller and Assessor Sherry Wingler flagged salary and budget discrepancies, the council agreed by consensus to a 4% salary increase for detention center maintenance staff and to apply a 4% increase to attorneys in the public defender and prosecutor's offices for 2025.
Sheriff Brent Miller told the council that maintenance staff had not received a planned salary increase for 2025, that a transport/jail lieutenant would be paid less than some subordinates, and that cleaning-supplies line 1170.22301 should be $16,000 rather than $18,000. Assessor Sherry Wingler raised concerns about cuts to the reassessment budget, specifically maintenance funding for a vehicle.
Following those presentations, council members agreed by consensus to give detention center maintenance staff a 4% salary increase for 2025 and to apply the same 4% increase to attorneys in the public defender and prosecutor's offices. The transcript records the council consensus but does not show a formal roll-call tally for the consensus decision.
