Proposed county pay ordinance would raise executive's salary to $206,288 and council members' to $34,000
Ordinance 2026-36, with raises effective Jan. 1, gets a hearing Tuesday.
LOGAN - Cache County's elected officials would get raises Jan. 1, 2027, under Ordinance 2026-36, set for a hearing at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, the council's agenda and packet show. Oct. 27 draft minutes in the packet say the council voted 7-0 to move that hearing to Nov. 10; the ordinance still says a hearing was held Oct. 13.
The county executive's pay would rise from $149,085 to $206,288, matching a county attorney salary that would rise from $200,280. Council members would go from $24,000 to $34,000, and the council chair from $30,000 to $40,800.
The sheriff would go from $140,513 to $175,000 and the auditor from $121,130 to $160,000. The clerk and recorder would each rise from $121,130 to $140,000, and the assessor and treasurer from $132,870 to $140,000.
The ordinance says the changes aim to retain competent officials and attract qualified candidates.
Why this matters
County salaries are paid with public money. The 2027 budget is also up for adoption Tuesday.
