Tax assessor seeks pay adjustments after recent turnover; board asks for job description and market analysis
Summary
The tax assessor requested $15,600 in pay adjustments to improve retention after reporting three departures in the past year (five total staff turnover referenced); commissioners asked for a rewritten job description and analysis of budgetary impacts before deciding.
The tax assessor (S9) presented a request for pay adjustments to hold employees and reduce turnover, telling the board the office calculated the package at about $15,600 (an earlier, informal figure of $10,000 was adjusted upward after review).
S9 said the office had three departures in the last year and described the overall turnover as high: "Time I've been there, I've only retained 3 ... Those other 3 have changed," S9 said, indicating a period of staff churn. Commissioners questioned the memo's detail, asked where the market numbers came from and asked staff to prepare a new job description and a budget impact analysis before any decision.
S3 and other commissioners discussed whether a single‑department market adjustment would require county‑wide analysis to ensure equitable treatment; administration said staff will run numbers and return with recommendations. The assessor and commissioners agreed the board needs more detail — job descriptions, comparative salary data and the fiscal impact — before approving raises.
