Commissioners Give Several Raises to County Employees

October 3, 2019 - The Shelby County Commissioners gave raises to many county employees following an executive session during their meeting held October 2, 2019.

When the meeting returned from executive session, Commissioner Charles Barr stated the outside auditors usually give the county a positive audit and he said that is a reflection on the county judge, some on the commissioners, as well as the County Auditor, and Treasurer.

"But there's a lot of people downstairs and around that do a lot of work and I think it has a lot to do with them as well," said Barr.

Commissioners Adopt New Budget, Tax Rate

September 25, 2019 - Following extensive discussion over the proposed budget, and other potential additions, the Shelby County Commissioners carried a motion to adopt the proposed budget with the only addition being $5,000 to the Child Welfare Board during their meeting held September 18, 2019.

This left out additional raises that had been discussed in previous budgetary meetings.

(A county employee later clarified the 2% COLA was included in the approved budget.)
