Commissioners discuss $1/hour non‑union raise and timing for vote
Summary
Board members discussed a proposed $1/hour raise for non‑union employees and a related discussion about whether elected officials should also receive $1/hour; Administrator Patrick Whiteford warned earlier action would simplify payroll adjustments and Chair Kohn Fisher suggested a possible December vote.
The board discussed a proposed $1/hour wage increase for non‑union county employees that has not yet been approved. Chair Kohn Fisher suggested the raise might be decided at the December meeting, while County Administrator/CFO Patrick Whiteford said acting sooner would help the county implement payroll changes if the board approves it.
Commissioners also broached whether the $1/hour increase should extend to elected officials; no decision was made during the workshop and trustees deferred any final motion to a future meeting. Whiteford emphasized the timing of a decision would affect payroll processing and budget projections.
