Presentations of budgets for FY24 were made by Supervisor of Assessments Dawn Kelton, Zoning Officer Joe Crowe, Zoning Administrator Gwen Thomas, County Clerk Marty Gum, EMS/EMA Chief Kolbe Huss, and County Engineer Corey Dowd. It was the consensus of the commissioners that those budgets not operating under a collective bargaining agreement should plan to budget for an overall 3% increase for non-elected officials’ salaries. That percentage total increase can then be awarded to employees upon the discretion of the elected official/department head with the overall total not to exceed 3% combined for all employees affected. Explanations were given and requested for line items that exhibited increases and decreases. Directions were given that budget information should be given to the Menard County Treasurer and that final budget figures must be reviewed and approved by the office holder. A budget adoption date was tentatively set for the November 14 board meeting.
