Significant contributors to the budget increase, department speakers stressed, are Kootenai County s rapid growth, the housing market, and lack of competitive pay.
Hiring jail staff is incredibly challenging, KCSO Undersheriff Dan Mattos said, and retaining employees is no easier. We don t have the people, we can t hire the people because we can t pay, and we don t keep the people because we can t pay them, he said. I m not saying that the answer to everything is throwing money at it, but we re in a unique position.
To assist in enlisting employees, KCSO is asking for several thousand promotional dollars for recruiting bonuses and job fair registrations. Capt. Stu Miller said in the meeting that KCSO is considering offering a $1,500 hiring bonus a small price to pay, he noted, compared to Spokane s current recruiting offer of $15,000.
