Commissioners debate executive-assistant base pay, agree to set common schedule
Summary
Coryell County commissioners spent a lengthy portion of the meeting debating how to set a base salary and step increases for executive-assistant positions, discussing start levels from $38,000 to $45,000 and whether to grandfather existing step increases. The court asked staff to present a formal salary schedule at the next meeting.
Commissioners and the county judge debated how to standardize pay for a group of county "executive assistant" positions that currently have inconsistent starting salaries and step awards. One commissioner summarized the practical compromise: "We set it at 40. Everybody gets 2," proposing a $40,000 baseline so each executive assistant would receive a $2,000 increase if their pay had previously been at $38,000.
The county judge emphasized fairness and parity during the budget review, saying, "Everybody deserves a step raise, in my opinion," and the court agreed to direct staff to prepare a formal salary schedule for adoption. Commissioners discussed higher starting proposals (some advocated for $42,000 or $45,000) and whether step/ longevity increases should be implemented immediately or phased in; no formal vote was taken but the court scheduled follow-up review and implementation timing as a separate action item.
