Oconee County Commissioners To Discuss Staff Pay Once Again At Meeting Tomorrow Night
The Board spent more than 50 minutes at its last meeting on the topic, and then another 1 hour and 45 minutes in a work session on Dec. 29.
The Oconee County Board of Commissioners will return tomorrow night to a topic that has bedeviled it since the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1–the allocation salary money to the staff.
The Board spent more than 50 minutes at its last meeting on the topic, and then another 1 hour and 45 minutes in a work session on Dec. 29, but it has yet to resolve how to spend the 1.5 percent pay increase approved on July 1.
The Board is scheduled to take up the topic at the front of its meeting and then turn to a public hearing on proposed revisions to the county’s animal control ordinance and on two rezone requests and five special exception variance requests for Hots BBQ and an adjoining reception hall in the south of the county.
At the Board’s last regular meeting in December, citizens had to wait out a lengthy discussion of the salary issue and a whole list of other topics before they got to offer comments during the public hearing on the animal control ordinance.
