Marshall County Council Discusses Budgets

The Marshall County Council members reviewed budgets again Monday morning before formally adopting them.

The council decided on raises before adopting the Marshall County budget.  They approved a 55-cent raise for part-time hourly workers, a $800 flat rate increase for part-time salaried workers, a $1,600 increase for full-time elected officials, and a 55-cent raise for full-time salaried workers.

It was noted that the elected officials did not get a raise last year due to adjustments made in wage recommendations by Waggoner, Irwin and Scheele. 

Additionally, the non-certified Coroner per-call pay would increase from $42 to $50, but the council members did not approve an increase for the certified Deputy Coroner.  It stands at $100.  

The overall Marshall County budget totals $24,743,068 which the council unanimously approved. 

The council members also adopted the East Shore Conservancy District budget of $305,747, the tourism budget and the Marshall County Solid Waste budget at $361,465.
