Personnel committee recommendation leads board to nullify raises given after 2025 budget adoption
Summary
Following a Personnel Committee recommendation, the Ionia County Board rejected a finance director pay increase and voted to nullify raises implemented after adoption of the 2025 budget.
The Personnel Committee recommended nullifying pay raises that had been implemented contrary to the 2025 budget or applicable legal and policy requirements; Commissioner Gordon Kelley presented the committee’s recommendation to the board.
The board voted to reject a specific pay increase for the Finance Director (motion moved by Kelley, supported by Hesche) and then voted to nullify raises implemented after the 2025 budget was adopted; motions carried by roll voice vote. Commissioner Terence Frewen was recorded as dissenting on one of the roll-voice votes.
The board’s actions instruct staff and relevant departments to reverse or withhold post-budget raises that did not comply with the budget or policy; next steps and any personnel appeals were not specified in the meeting record.
