Board approves law-enforcement salary scheme; commissioner raises sustainability concerns
Summary
Sheridan County commissioners approved a requested salary scheme for Sheriff Levi Dominguez's law-enforcement staff, excluding a COLA; the motion passed 4–1 with Commissioner Jennings opposed, who expressed concerns about long-term sustainability of raises.
Sheridan County Sheriff Levi Dominguez presented a requested salary scheme for law‑enforcement employees at the June 2 budget meeting. Dominguez explained the proposal would not include a cost‑of‑living adjustment (COLA) but sought salary changes for regular law enforcement staff. Commissioner Holly Jennings questioned the sustainability of raises across county departments and said she would vote against the proposal for that reason.
Commissioner Lonnie Wright moved to approve the law‑enforcement salary scheme as requested; the motion passed 4–1, with Commissioners Mike Arzy, Christi Haswell, Nick Siddle, and Lonnie Wright in favor and Commissioner Jennings opposed. The board took no further action on remaining salaries and benefits pending future deliberation.
