Today the Board of Supervisors will consider raising the salaries of some elected county officials. However, those officials getting raises, if approved, will not include the supervisors themselves. Last winter, in December of 2005, the supervisors considered the salary increases for the positions of Sheriff, Treasurer-Tax Collector, Auditor, Clerk-Recorder, Assessor and District Attorney- all elected positions in the county. At that time the raises were approved- to be effective on Oct 1st 2006- now the board will look at officially approving the salaries retroactively, including a 3.6 cost of living increase, to the October 1st date.
The new salaries include a monthly salary of 9,065 dollars for the Sheriff-Corner, 7276 dollars for the Treasurer-Tax Collector, 7656 dollars per month for the Auditor, 6,952 dollars per month for the County Clerk-Recorder, 7441 dollars per month for the Assessor, and 9464 dollars per month for the District Attorney. The DA also receives a monthly vehicle allowance of 600.00. The Board considered the salaries of like positions in like size counties to determine the amounts of compensation. Currently a Supervisor makes a monthly salary of 3139.50. That salary will adjust to a percentage of a superior court judge next July 1st.
