Commission raises EMA director salary to $40,000 as budgeted
Summary
The commission voted 4-0 to increase the Emergency Management Agency director's salary to $40,000 for 2026, matching a figure discussed by the administrator and already included in the budget.
County Administrator Cindy Williams told the commission that the Retirement Systems of Alabama showed a salary threshold of $40,000 for state retirees in 2026 and asked whether the county should set the EMA director's pay at $40,000, an amount already included in the budget. Commissioner Bart Wilks moved to increase the EMA director's salary to $40,000; Commissioner Todd Brannon seconded and the motion passed 4-0.
The minutes record the action as an administrative salary adjustment; the EMA director was not present at the meeting and no change to budget line items was recorded in the minutes beyond the commission's approval. Implementation will be handled by county payroll according to the administrator's direction.
