Summary

Engineer Brian Ridenour requested reopening the Secondary Roads union contract to consider a $2/hour wage increase and supplied FY27 wage comparisons; supervisors deferred action until all FY27 wages from peer counties are published.

County Engineer Brian Ridenour asked the Board to reopen the Secondary Roads union contract to consider a $2/hour wage increase and provided comparative FY27 wage information from other counties.

Ridenour said four counties had not yet published FY27 wages and that the board should wait for those figures before taking action: "Since 4 counties have not entered FY27 wages yet, no action until all FY27 wages are available for accurate comparison," he said. Supervisors did not take immediate action and left the item pending further data collection.
