Board authorizes MOU with Condrey & Associates for county pay study to inform recruitment, retention and pay structure
Summary
Liberty County authorized a memorandum of understanding with Condrey & Associates to conduct a compensation study that will benchmark pay, revise job descriptions, build career ladders and present phased cost scenarios for implementation.
The Board of Commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding to engage Condrey & Associates for a countywide compensation study.
HR director (speaker 18) outlined why the county needs an updated pay study — recruitment and retention challenges, vacancies predominantly in public safety and public works, and the need for defensible pay structures. The proposed consultant work includes job analyses, market benchmarking, use of a point‑factor evaluation system to maintain internal equity, development of salary grades and ranges, and a cost analysis with phased implementation options.
Commissioners asked whether the consultant would compare Liberty County to appropriate peers and whether job descriptions would be rewritten; HR staff confirmed the consultant will benchmark against agreed peer communities, revise job descriptions as needed and recommend career progression pathways. A motion to approve the MOU was made and seconded; staff said the MOU and details would be brought forward for implementation and that the typical study process includes an employee review and appeal period.
