Proposed Raises for Top County Officials
The county Salary Commission on Tuesday mulled raises of about $5,600 for each top position, a 3.4 percent to 7.5 percent increase, for the next budget year that starts July 1. That’s on top of raises of $16,700 to $42,900, or 13.2 percent to 39.7 percent last year.
The raises are for the mayor, County Council, department heads and deputies. The mayor, for example, would see his pay rise to $168,223 annually; the County Council chairman would be paid $82,657 and a council member would get $75,649.
