Sheriff asks Board to consider local compensation adjustment for deputies
Summary
Sheriff Chadwick W. Cubbage presented options to the Board for a local compensation increase for sworn, full-time Sheriff’s Office employees, proposing either a fixed-dollar supplement or phased implementation; he said the request was not included in his FY2027 budget request.
Sheriff Chadwick W. Cubbage asked the Board to consider a local compensation adjustment for sworn, full-time deputies, framing the request as necessary to maintain a stable, professional public-safety workforce. He presented two options to the Board: a fixed-dollar supplement or a phased approach to increase pay over time and noted the adjustment was not included in his FY2027 budget submission.
During public comment immediately afterward, a resident urged the Board to grant the Sheriff whatever he requests and proposed several potential new local taxes to generate revenue. The Board did not take immediate action on the pay-study request at the March 17 meeting; the matter remains under consideration.
