Osage County hires Anthony Parrish as county controller with $140,000 starting salary
Summary
The board voted to hire Anthony Parrish as county controller effective May 12, 2026, approving a draft employment agreement that includes a $140,000 starting salary, a 4% initial COLA provision and six months' severance if terminated without cause during the initial term.
The Osage County Board of County Commissioners voted April 28 to hire Anthony Parrish as the county controller effective May 12, 2026, and authorized the chair to sign an employment agreement that substantially conforms to the draft reviewed in open session.
County legal counsel presented a draft contract that uses the job description derived from KSA 19-6803, sets an initial base salary at $140,000, and includes a 4% cost-of-living adjustment during the initial term through January 1, 2029. The draft also provides six months' severance and continuation of benefits if the employee is terminated without cause during the initial term; termination for cause would not trigger severance.
Commissioners said the chair may sign the agreement after legal review if changes are ministerial; otherwise the contract would return to the board for further action.
