Coroner urges pay increase, says role requires full-time commitment
Summary
Sheridan County coroner urged commissioners to raise the coroner's pay to attract qualified medical examiners, called the role effectively full time and suggested a starting salary "somewhere in the seventies."
Dr. Berg, Sheridan County coroner, told commissioners the coroner's duties require specialized training and round-the-clock availability and urged a materially higher starting salary to recruit and retain qualified candidates. He described the job as full time and said commissioners should move beyond comparing elected salaries strictly by title and instead account for the role's professional requirements.
On a concrete figure, Dr. Berg recommended a minimum starting salary "somewhere in the seventies," arguing that, given the national pay scale for pathologists and medical examiners, Sheridan County must offer competitive compensation to attract qualified candidates. He also offered to provide workload and comparative salary numbers to the board for use when finalizing a pay decision.
