Summary
The Durham County Board of Commissioners approved a 5.133% salary increase for the register of deeds and a 4% increase for the sheriff after closed‑session discussions; the motion passed unanimously.
The Durham County Board of Commissioners voted to approve salary increases for two elected offices following a closed‑session discussion. The board approved a 5.133% raise for the register of deeds and a 4% raise for the sheriff. The chair reported the items and asked for a motion to approve the raises; Vice Chair Doctor Lee moved the approval and Commissioner Burton seconded. The board approved the raises by voice vote.
The action followed a closed session in which commissioners said they had discussed compensation for those offices. No further detail on timing or salary amounts beyond the percentage increases was provided during the open meeting. The board moved on to public‑facing business after the vote.
