Board approves single-step increase for county employees hired before May 1, 2026
Summary
After an initial motion failed for lack of a second, the board reintroduced and passed a motion approving a single-step increase for employees employed before May 1, 2026. The vote was by roll call and recorded as 'Yes.'
The Bonner County Board approved a single-step pay increase for county employees who were hired on or before May 1, 2026. A first attempt to pass the single-step motion failed for lack of a second; the board then reintroduced a clarified motion that excluded employees hired after May 1 and approved it by roll call.
"Based on the information before us, I move to approve a single-step increase for all county employees except those that were hired after May 1st of 2026," said the board member who moved the motion. The motion was seconded and carried in a roll-call vote recorded as "Yes." The board confirmed the step increase would be applied after implementation of the newly adopted wage scales, as presented by HR.
The board discussed whether hires after May 1 should be eligible before reintroducing the motion; HR confirmed the calculations for step increases were prepared on the payroll snapshot used for the presentation.
