Nemaha County board elects leaders, approves multi‑year official pay plan
Summary
At its Jan. 10 meeting the Nemaha County Board elected Marvin Bohling chair and Bob Hutton vice chair for 2018 and adopted Resolution 2018‑01 setting a 5% increase for 2019 and 2.5% increases for 2020–2022 for county officials. The board also handled routine claims and appointments.
The Nemaha County Board of Commissioners formally reorganized on Jan. 10, 2018, electing Commissioner Marvin Bohling as board chair and Commissioner Bob Hutton as vice chair. County Clerk Joyce Oakley presided at the opening and led the Pledge of Allegiance.
In a recorded roll‑call vote the board adopted Resolution 2018‑01 setting county official salaries: a 5 percent increase for 2019 and annual 2.5 percent increases for 2020–2022. Commissioners Hutton and Bohling voted aye; Commissioner Bryan Mellage registered a nay on the measure. The board also approved routine claims and the minutes for the previous meeting.
The meeting included several routine administrative actions: the board appointed Tom Catlett as Nemaha County Surveyor for 2018 and tabled the appointment of Mainelli Wagner & Associates as highway superintendent pending further consideration. County Clerk Oakley recorded the votes and authorized claims for payment. The resolution and appointments were entered into the official minutes and will be reflected in the county’s 2019 payroll budgets.
The board’s reorganization and salary resolution set the table for later budget and personnel discussions in 2018, including supplemental staffing for road crews and planned capital spending on public safety and bridges.
