Commission approves prosecutor and investigator pay adjustments
Summary
The court approved funding shifts for a prosecutor position and salary increases for a chief investigator and three investigators after staff presented comparative salary data and funding options including SB 22 and special‑revenue funds.
A county prosecutor identified as John asked the court to fully fund a CPS attorney position that had been paid with Senate Bill 22 funds, arguing local salaries lag comparable counties and asking the general fund to absorb the position so SB 22 could be used for supplements. Staff located the request in department 475 and presented cost figures for the position and associated benefits.
Staff also presented investigator pay adjustments that would raise the chief investigator salary to $93,035 and increase three investigator salaries to $84,000. Commissioners asked for and received clarifications on percentage increases (the chief roughly 5.88% and the other investigators about 9.77%). After discussion about parity and sustainability, motions to approve the funding for the prosecutor position and the investigator salary adjustments carried on voice votes (recorded as 5–0). The court asked staff to provide supporting salary‑comparison documents for commissioners to review.
