(KNZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has approved a salary increase for the county attorney.
Following an executive session at a special meeting on May 27, the Commission voted 2-1 to increase the county attorney's salary by a pro-rated amount of $23,333 for the remaining portion of 2025 as a temporary measure until a new county attorney replacement can be identified.
Commissioner Jason Koch cast the lone dissenting vote.
Funding for the salary increase will be paid out of the funds earmarked for Diversion in the Capital Outlay Fund.
The county attorney will take over child in need of care and all juvenile-related cases.
County Attorney Brad Lippert informed Commissioners last month that he was considering moving up his retirement date from July 1st of next year to July 1st of this year.
Lippert resigned earlier this year from the position of county counselor, which was effective April 1st.
