Board adopts resolution increasing county prosecutor, public defender and sheriff salaries

The Williamson County Board of Commissioners voted on June 26 to adopt Resolution No. 26-06-26-25 to set salaries for three county law positions, citing a 4.1% cost-of-living adjustment.

Under the resolution, the state's attorney salary was set at $228,317.97, the public defender at $25,486.17 and the sheriff at $182,654.38. A commissioner noted that the increase matches a 4.1% cost-of-living adjustment mentioned in correspondence from the state, and that the figures represent reimbursement amounts from the state as presented in the resolution draft.

A motion to pass the resolution was made; the chair called a roll. The transcript records two 'yes' votes (Max and Jim Marlin). The full roll-call record is not completely captured in the transcript text available. The motion was presented for passage as Resolution No. 26-06-26-25.

The board moved on to other business after the vote.

Action items: the resolution language was noted to require a numerical edit (the transcript indicates an earlier draft listed 6.1% and was corrected to 4.1%).
