Commissioners adopt pay groups and salary ranges from county salary study
Summary
The court approved implementation of the salary study recommendations — including pay groups and salary ranges and a minimum 5% adjustment baseline — and directed that ranges be included in the proposed 2026–27 budget; commissioners asked for follow‑up on director pay and process details.
County staff presented the salary‑study committee recommendations and asked the court to adopt pay groups and salary group ranges to include in the proposed fiscal 2026–27 budget. Staff said the study showed average market moves of 8–9%, and the committee recommended a baseline minimum of 5% for all employees with additional adjustments at department‑head discretion based on years of service.
A motion to accept the pay groups and salary ranges and to include them in the proposed budget carried. Commissioners discussed next steps for setting director salaries and whether a policy should define which pay grades receive exemptions; staff and a committee will coordinate to present further guidance. The court also asked that personnel and narrative sections be added to the file budget packet before public posting.
The action formalizes the salary‑study recommendations as part of the proposed budget; exact individual salary adjustments and effective dates will be implemented in the budget and personnel processes following the public‑hearing and final adoption steps.
