THERE COULD BE PAY RAISES IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR SANTA FE COUNTY EMPLOYEES. MOST OF THAT IS DUE TO THE INCREASE IN SALES TAXES THERE. THE COUNTY PULLED IN AN EXTRA 4-POINT-3 MILLION DOLLARS AND THAT HAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSIDERING THE RAISES AND OTHER EXPENSES.
AREAS BEING DISCUSSED INCLUDE RAISES FOR FIRE, SHERIFF, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS ALSO SAY WILDLAND FIRE FIGHTER JOBS SHOULD BE FUNDED. A SMALL AMOUNT COULD GO TO RAISES FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
THE COMMISSION HASN’T TAKEN ANY ACTION YET.
