Resident praises highway superintendent, questions large raises in county payroll
Summary
A local resident commended Highway Superintendent Terry Floyd for cost‑saving stewardship and questioned how substantial raises were distributed across county staff, suggesting a review for merit‑based awards.
During public comment, Lenox resident Sarah Stever thanked Highway Superintendent Terry Floyd for efforts to find cost savings on roads and bridges and called attention to how recent employee raises were allocated. "I just wanted to give a shout out to Terry for being such a good steward and last week trying to present a number of ways to save some money on what we are doing in the roads and bridges of our county," Stever said.
Stever also questioned the process used to award raises, asking whether larger increases (one example cited was a $25,000 raise) had been reviewed for merit versus being distributed on other bases. She recommended that raises above a certain threshold be examined to ensure fairness. The board acknowledged the comment; no immediate policy change was made at this meeting.
