Pay study payment gets another 2-1 approval
Bruce Jewett was named Butler County administrator Monday morning, Aug. 16. He stated Monday afternoon his pay will remain the same at $107,393.
That’s what the administrator’s pay was when Tim WIlliams left as county administrator in December (leaving for a private sector job in Dayton). And pending the results of the Clemans, Nelson and Associates pay study, Jewett’s salary — as well as other county employees — will remain as it is now.
The commissioners — or I should say two of the three commissioners — agreed last fall to pay Clemans, Nelson and Associates roughly $98,000 for the study that will evaluate the departments that report to the county commissioners. The price tag on the study initially was upwards of $107,900.
Commissioner Charles Furman doesn’t agree with the study, having previously stated that past studies were collecting dust.
The study specifically will look at Job and Family Services, Children’s Services, Water and Sewer and the Child Support Enforcement Agency. The departments for other elected county officials aren’t involved in the study, but will have access to the results.
It will be up to those elected officials if they will do anything with the study.
Today the commission OK’d in a 2-1 vote another payment to Clemans, Nelson and Associates in the amount of $1,496.25. To date, the county’s paid $75,822.50.
It won’t be known how beneficial the study will be until it’s in hand, but until it is what are your thoughts? Do you think it’s needed?
