County raises GIS technician to market rate and lifts assistant salary to ease compression
Summary
Commissioners approved raising the GIS technician salary to roughly $70,473 and setting an assistant GIS position at $57,002.50 after HR market analysis and discussion of internal pay compression.
Commissioners reviewed HR market data for the GIS program. Staff said the median salary for the GIS technician role is approximately $70,473; commissioners agreed an upward adjustment was warranted to remain competitive and to retain staff. A motion to adjust the GIS technician salary to that market figure was moved and carried by voice vote.
Separately, commissioners discussed an assistant GIS position (Caroline) whose base pay was approximately $44,000 and approved a motion to increase that position to $57,002.50 in order to reduce pay compression between the two positions. Commissioners said the HR director will continue to provide impartial compensation analyses before future individual salary changes.
