BoardSteele County Commissioners Budget Meeting
The commission convened to review the budget, specifically analyzing department salary studies and potential cost-cutting measures. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to debating whether to adopt a proposed salary study and pay scale, with concerns raised about employee retention versus the structure of the scale. Following a recess and further discussion with an external consultant regarding the pay scale mechanics, the commission ultimately voted to adopt the salary study process with modifications to the specific wages.
