The Marshall County Council members this week reviewed the contract submitted by Sheriff Matt Hassel.
The contract is the same as last year. It calls for a salary of $89,525.80 and benefits are not included in that fixed salary. This fixed salary is in lieu of a collection of judgments arising from tax warrants. In the contract, the sheriff will assign all fees from prisoners’ meal allowances to be to the sole property of the county and not deemed as compensation for employment.
The sheriff is the officer of the courts.
The council members unanimously approved the contract as presented. The same contract was unanimously approved by the commissioners earlier this month.
