The Montgomery County Attorney’s Office opts out of a recent wage study and the use of the County Personnel Manual.

 

That was the word from County Administrator Jonathan Booe at this week’s commission meeting.  Booe says that the County Attorney can make that decision based on a ruling from the Kansas Attorney General.

 

This will allow the County Attorney’s Office to set its own pay scale for employees.

 

In other business, commissioners approved the purchase of a skid unit for Rural Fire for just over $92,000 from Emergency Vehicle Resources of Claremore. Also approved was the purchase of a $338,000 grader and a $158,000 backhoe for Public Works.
