MASON CITY – The Cerro Gordo County Compensation Board recommended Thursday that elected officials get another raise.
The board considered two scenarios; a 1.5% raise on July 1, 2015 and then a second raise of 1.5% on January 1, 2016. The second scenario was the same except the county auditor would receive a $5,000 stipend for supervising the county’s geographic information systems.
Scenario two was approved unanimously. The raise amounts to a 2.25% increase for the attorney, auditor, recorder, sheriff, treasurer, and supervisors.
County attorney Carlye Dalen will make over $114,000 in 2016 if approved by the board of supervisors. The supervisors themselves will make nearly $51,000 if they approve their own raises.
The board is made up of:
Tim LaPointe, appointed by the Board of Supervisors; Four Year Term, Expires June 30, 2015
Dave Theiss, appointed by the Board of Supervisors; Four Year Term, Expires June 30, 2015
