The Fayette County Board of Supervisors cut salary recommendations from the County Compensation Board by 40 percent across the board at the regular board meeting, Monday, Jan. 26.

In December the Compensation Board, which makes salary recommendations for all elected county officials, had approved increases of 6 percent for Sheriff Marty Fisher and County Attorney Wayne Saur, and 5 percent for the three Supervisors, Janel Bradley, Marty Stanbrough and Jeanine Tellin; Auditor Lori Moellers, Treasurer Kyle Jacobsen, and Recorder Karen Ford.

Those increase percentages went down to 3.6 and 3 percent respectively with the 40 percent reduction.

The 2020-2021 salaries will now be as follows:

Board of Supervisors - $37,296.30, from $36,210.

Recorder, Treasurer, Auditor - $63,259.51 from $61,417.

County Attorney - $82,082.28 from $79,230.

County Sheriff - $89,408.87 from $86,302.

The increases as recommended by the Compensation Board would have put Fisher’s salary at $91,480; Saur’s at $83,984; Ford, Moellers and Jacobsen at $64,488, and the three Supervisors, Bradley, Tellin and Stanbrough, at $38,021.
