Salary committee votes 8–1 to recommend county clerk pay increase to commissioners court
Summary
After hearing a grievance from County Clerk Lila Deagle, the Parker County salary agreements committee voted 8–1 to recommend a raise that the committee will forward in writing to the commissioners court for consideration.
The Parker County salary agreements committee voted 8–1 to recommend an increase in the county clerk's salary and will forward a written recommendation to the commissioners court for consideration at its next meeting.
Judge Patty Dean called for the vote and recorded the tally as "8 to 1." Committee members who voted in favor were asked to sign the written recommendation before leaving; Judge Dean noted she does not cast a vote as county judge. A committee member said the recommendation "will go to the commissioner's court on Monday for their consideration."
The transcript record shows staff and members discussed numerical effects of the court's prior motion and how the clerk's pay would move toward a top-tier figure (the record cites a proposed top-tier figure of $162,000). The committee's recommendation is procedural: it asks the commissioners court to consider the change but does not itself adopt county budget language.
