Judge Johnson announces $1,490 county share increase for district court reporter salary
Summary
During the budget hearing, County Judge Lisa Johnson said the county's portion of the 31st District Court reporter salary will rise by $1,490 — increasing that line item to $22,890 — and that the increase will be offset by reducing the public facilities capital outlay line item.
During the public hearing on the proposed 2024–25 operating budget, County Judge Lisa Johnson told the court she would make a line-item adjustment to cover a higher salary for the 31st District Court reporter.
Judge Johnson said she received notification from the 31st District Court that the court reporter's salary was being raised. Hemphill County's portion of that increase is $1,490, which Judge Johnson said brings the county's line item for the reporter to $22,890. She said the county will offset the increase by reducing the public facilities capital outlay line item; she characterized the change as a reallocation within the proposed budget that would not change the overall total.
No members of the public spoke on the adjustment during the hearing, and the judge closed the public hearing at 9:06 a.m.
