Commissioners approve two sheriff’s office pay increases, reclassify pay bands

The Mountrail County Board approved two probationary salary increases in the Sheriff’s office during its Sept. 2 meeting. Commissioners voted to raise Cailey Loehle’s dispatcher pay to $27.88 per hour (equivalent to $58,000 annually) after successful completion of the probationary period; a separate motion raised Deputy I Dylan Pausig’s pay to $32.45 per hour (about $67,500 annually). Both increases passed by unanimous roll call.
