DISCUSS AND APPROVE RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SALARY FOR PUBLIC DEFENDER FOR FOUR YEAR TERM BEGINNING JANUARY 5, 2017 -The audit committee met and Arnold stated they tried to follow the salary survey and stay consistent with it but with it is clear how inadequately the county attorney is paid. The public defender cannot be paid more than the county attorney. He also noted that there are not enough public defender positions in other counties to make a comparison. He wants to pay people according to the salary survey. Stacy Ruzicka noted that the public defender deputies are paid the same as the county attorney deputies.
