Board approves magistrate salary conversion to align with peers
Summary
The board approved converting a magistrate position to a salaried rate (salary equivalent cited during discussion) and passed the salary by roll call. Commissioners noted the conversion sets the magistrate pay roughly in line with neighboring counties.
The board voted to approve a salary conversion for a magistrate position, moving the role to a salaried equivalent intended to align with other county magistrates. During discussion staff presented a conversion and calculation, citing a salary figure "$51.06 33 via salary" as the posted equivalent. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the hourly-to-salary conversion and confirmed the position will be paid at the approved rate.
On a roll-call vote the motion to approve the magistrate salary passed with the board recording affirmative votes; meeting minutes show the motion carried and the salary implementation will be incorporated into the county payroll schedule. Staff said the change will not alter duties but will standardize compensation across similar positions.
