Commissioners adopt amended salary schedule for elected officials; Coroner increase adjusted
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 26-05-048 with an amendment to set the Coroner's raise at 15% (matching other elected officials); the amendment passed 3–2 and the resolution passed as amended.
The Board of County Commissioners considered Resolution 26-05-048 to establish salaries for elected officials. Commissioner Lonnie J. Wright moved to adopt the resolution. Commissioner Nick Siddle moved to amend the resolution so the Coroner's salary increase would be 15%, the same percentage applied to other elected officials; that amendment passed 3–2, with Commissioners Haswell, Siddle and Wright in favor and Commissioners Arzy and Jennings opposed.
Commissioner Holly Jennings then moved a second amendment to retain current salaries except to raise the Coroner to $55,000; that amendment failed 2–3. The final vote on the resolution as amended carried 3–2. The board did not specify in the meeting minutes the exact new salary amounts for each office beyond the relative treatment of the Coroner; those salary totals were recorded in the adopted resolution document.
