Tax assessor requests modest pay adjustments amid turnover concerns
Summary
The tax assessor's office asked for about $15,600 in pay adjustments for several positions and reported recent turnover of five employees; commissioners asked for rewritten job descriptions and market analysis before approving increases.
The tax assessor's office presented a personnel request at the Aug. 10 work session seeking pay adjustments that staff estimated would total about $15,600. The assessor proposed increases such as $1.50 for an administrative assistant and $2.00 for appraisers, and asked the board to authorize a market-review and revised job descriptions to justify the changes.
Commissioners questioned the turnover figures and asked for more detail. The tax assessor said the office had lost five employees in recent periods, with some moving to other county departments and others leaving the county for higher pay. "So total, we lost 5 employees in in turnover," the assessor said. Board members requested a formal job description and recommended that county HR run a market analysis to determine sustainable salary adjustments and how those changes interact with the countywide 3% merit placeholder.
Staff said they will draft updated position descriptions and return with cost estimates and a recommended classification for any new or reclassified positions.
