Committee agrees to use proposed $17 starting wage for FY25 in budgeting
Summary
The Finance Committee reviewed a proposed non‑union wage schedule with a $17.00/hour starting wage for FY25 and reached consensus to use the schedule for budget calculations despite missing total cost estimates.
The committee reviewed a proposed new wage schedule for nonunion hourly employees that sets the FY2025 starting wage at $17.00 per hour. Members, including Megan Myers and Dan Matthews, asked how much the new schedule would cost the county; County Administrator Dee Dee Rentmeister said those figures were not available during the meeting.
Rather than delay budget work, the committee reached consensus to use the proposed wage schedule for calculating FY25 budgets and to determine the increase in cost as part of the budget process. Staff are expected to produce cost estimates for inclusion in the county's budget deliberations.
