Summary

After staff presented comparable-county data and administrators recommended aligning the Clerk of Court with a higher percentile, the committee voted to set the Clerk of Court 2027 wage at $83,383 with a 3.5% annual lift.

The Human Resources Committee set the Clerk of Courts 2027 wage at $83,383 and approved a 3.5% annual increase for the following three years after reviewing comparable-county data.

Julie Vollmer presented wage comparisons for 18 of the 20 counties in the countys standard list and recommended setting the Clerk of Court at the 33rd percentile; county administration urged consistency with the Sheriff decision and recommended the 38th percentile. "To be consistent with the Sheriff, this should be the 38th percentile, which would equal a proposed 2027 wage of $83,383," Engfer said. Carol McDonough moved to set the Clerk of Court 2027 wage at $83,383 with a 3.5% lift; McMillan Urell seconded and a roll call vote recorded four yes votes, carrying the motion.

Committee members discussed establishing a protocol for which percentile is used when comparing elected-official wages across the countys standard comparables list.
