Cherokee County commissioners approve minutes, payroll and payables; clerk salary issue flagged
Summary
At its Feb. 14, 2025 meeting the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved the Feb. 10 minutes and authorized payroll and payables. Commissioners unanimously passed motions but flagged a separate issue about returning the county clerk's salary to a prior level and asked the county counselor to investigate.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved routine business during its Feb. 14, 2025 meeting in Columbus, including the minutes from the Feb. 10 meeting, payroll and the presented payables. Commissioner Cory Moates moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Jack Garner seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier moved to approve payroll, with an exception noted in the minutes concerning the county clerk's salary and whether it should be returned to a previous amount; Commissioner Garner seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Commissioners also approved payables after Commissioner Moates moved and Commissioner Frazier seconded. Following the payroll vote, Frazier asked County Counselor Jake Conard to look into the rules around elected officials giving themselves raises.
The board recorded unanimous votes on the motions. The minutes do not specify the dollar amounts or the prior clerk salary level; the clerk's salary change is noted in the record as an outstanding item for legal review by County Counselor Jake Conard.
The board's next administrative item was to schedule further review of personnel policy at an upcoming handbook work session on Feb. 24, which Frazier raised later in the meeting.
