County Legislature Really Likes To Spend Your Money | News, Sports, Jobs

Chautauqua County is trying really, really hard to spend your money. During budget discussions, legislators approved 3% raises for county managers despite the fact that the county is still in the middle of a pandemic. State-related revenues are difficult to count on given the state’s several billion dollar budget deficit. The exact amount of that deficit fluctuates depending on the day and which state official you are talking to, but it’s anywhere from $7 billion to $15 billion. Some school districts, including Jamestown, are looking at mid-year budget cuts to keep their budgets in balance. State-level employees are seeing pay freezes.

Committee Backs Raises For Managers | News, Sports, Jobs

One Chautauqua County legislative committee is backing a proposal to increase salaries of high-end managers. During the legislature’s Audit and Control Committee meeting Thursday, members unanimously agreed to a local law to adjust the management salary ranges to 1.5%. Earlier in the week, the legislature’s Administrative Services Committee failed to back the raises. Regardless of committee action, the full legislature must still approve the local in order for the raises to take effect. Human Services Director Jean Riley told the Audit and Control Committee that there are 12 high-end managers who would be affected by the raise. Administrative Services Committee members were told there were six people, however Riley said that is incorrect.

Raise For Half Dozen County Managers Under Discussion | News, Sports, Jobs

A raise for about a half a dozen high-end Chautauqua County managers is being considered. During this week’s Administrative Services Committee meeting, county lawmakers voted 2-2 on a local law that would provide a 1.5% raise in the 2021 county budget. The local law will go before the legislature’s Audit and Control Committee today for further review. It needs the approval of the full legislature in order to take effect. The names of those who would receive the raise were not mentioned by the committee. During the Administrative Services Committee meeting, Stephen Abdella, county attorney, explained that this legislation would only address select managers, since most were already approved for a raise in 2021. “The adopted budget did generally reflect a 3% increase for managers. However in some cases, the departments may not have appropriated those monies for individuals who were at the cap of the salary plan. What this local law would do is adjust the salary plan to increase it by one and a half percent, which I think was felt to be closer in line with inflation. Those managers at or near the top of their salary range would be eligible for not greater than this one and a half percent increase, depending on where they were in the range,” he said.
