(KAIR)--Employees of Atchison County have received a raise for the new year.
According to Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips, Commissioners, on January 7, approved a 3-percent across-the-board increase, with some exceptions.
The increase includes the Atchison County Commission. However, according to Phillips, District 2 Commissioner Eric Noll did not take the increase, with his annual salary to decrease to that of the previous year, which is $20,000.
Commission Chair Jack Bower, representing the 1st District, and Bill Pohl, representing District 3, received the increase, bringing their annual salaries to $21,424 annually each.
Public Works Director of the County Road and Bridge Department, James “Jay” Harbour did not receive the increase, as he only began his employment with the County in October of last year. However, Phillips said Harbour is scheduled for an evaluation in the near future.
The motion to approve the 3-percent increase was approved unanimously.
