Board approves departmental budgets and 4% COLA plus step increases
Summary
After reviewing departmental budgets line‑by‑line, commissioners voted to approve departmental budgets and a 4% cost‑of‑living adjustment plus step increases; county budget remains subject to state caps and may be amended later.
County staff walked commissioners through departmental budget requests and noted that most changes were salary‑driven. Commissioners discussed raises, step increases and the limits imposed by state caps on certain funds.
A motion to approve the departmental budgets along with a 4% COLA and applicable step increases was moved and seconded; the motion carried. Staff noted the county budget overall would be finalized with worksheets to ensure compliance with a 3% statutory cap in certain funds and that the board can amend the adopted budget later if needed.
