Commissioners approve 6% pay increase for elected officials
Summary
The commissioner's court voted to increase elected officials’ county compensation by 6%, with incoming officials reverting to base salary consistent with county wage policy; staff must post the salaries to allow grievance procedures.
The Webb County commissioner's court voted on Aug. 19 to grant a 6% increase to elected officials’ county salaries, with a policy note that incoming officials would revert to their base salary. A commissioner moved the proposal and the court voted; the judge announced, “Motion carries.”
Budget staff and the county auditor cautioned that the salaries must be posted before filing the proposed budget so that incoming or incumbent elected officials have the required notice and opportunity to grieve if they choose. The court discussed several step options (1.5%, 4.5%, 6%) before selecting the 6% option; commissioners cited the county’s strong fund balance as a basis for consideration.
