Treasurer clarifies pay levels; county clerk's additional increase cited as $17,004.70
Summary
County Treasurer Becky McCullough clarified the numeric effect of the commissioners court motion, saying the clerk had already been approved at a mid-level and the committee's recommendation would add roughly $17,004.70 to reach the higher tier.
County Treasurer Becky McCullough told the salary agreements committee that the county clerk had already been approved at a mid‑level pay cell near $144,535.30 and that the committee's recommended change would add about $17,004.70 to reach the top tier cited in the record.
Budget figures discussed in the hearing included a current sheriff pay of $144,004.27 and a proposed top‑tier figure cited in the record of $162,000 (a roughly 12% increase for the sheriff under the proposal). County staff clarified that the clerk's movement toward the top tier would not be from a lower figure shown earlier in the budget printout but from an already approved mid‑level number, changing the apparent percentage increase. Treasurer McCullough stated the extra dollar amount as $17,004.70.
The committee used those figures while discussing fairness and how tier cutoffs were applied; transcript numbers contain some transcription artifacts and should be verified in the county budget documents.
