Ms. Anderson stated that the <br />Extension staff is considered State employees so the salary changes <br />would be effective July 1 instead of January 1st. The annual amount <br />of increase would be $5,917.00. <br /> <br />Hr.

Shannon <br />asked the other Commissioners why this was not included in the <br />budget, and Hr. Eckert stated that the exact amount of the increase <br />was not known at the time, and the Commission was trying to balance <br />the County budget, Mrs. Toussaint suggested working with estimates <br />in the future, rather than excluding it entirely from the budget, <br /> <br /> <br />
