Summary

After debating whether comparative wage data from 2023 should have prompted action in 2024, the committee set a special Personnel Meeting for June 9, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. to address a one-time lump-sum payment for elected officials for 2024.

Committee members agreed to reconvene June 9, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. to resolve whether to award a one-time lump-sum compensation for 2024 to elected officials. Sheriff Whiteford told the committee the comparison-wage research used 2023 data and that the request was tabled in 2024 instead of being updated; he said the committee should have addressed it earlier.

The minutes record discussion about whether funds exist in department budgets for a lump-sum payment; both Sheriff Whiteford and County Clerk Deborah Hill said their 2025 budgets contain funds. The special meeting is intended to allow detailed budget review and a final decision on any lump-sum award.
