County Clerk Deborah Hill expressed concern to the committee about approving wage increases without the comparative data the board had requested, noting that raises in one elected office can cause workload and equity effects in other departments. She also raised concern about increased options for employee healthcare buyouts and about the work created in other offices when prosecutors have unexpected trial obligations.
