Cherokee County lets elected department heads set raises for staff, excluding themselves
Summary
The board voted to let elected department heads set personnel raises within their departments but barred department heads from setting their own raises; the minutes record the motion passed unanimously but give no details on amounts or reporting requirements.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 29 approved a motion allowing elected department heads to determine personnel raises within their departments while excluding department heads from deciding their own raises. The motion was made by Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier and seconded by Commissioner Jack Garner and is recorded in the minutes as "passed unanimously."
The minutes do not state any limits on raise amounts, required documentation, timing for implementation, or whether the board will review or ratify individual raises. County staff present included Assistant County Counselor Ethan Manke; the record does not show follow-up requirements or a reporting schedule for the board.
