The Utah County Commission approved salary increases of about $11,000 along with raises for other elected officials. They say the raises are meant to help bring pay up to market level.
PROVO — Utah County commissioners approved a proposal to raise their salaries by about $11,000 along with raises for other elected officials.
In total, the raises will cost the county $123,755 in 2023 to cover the increases for the elected officials. "We are elected, we didn't come here for the pay. We came here to serve," Sakievich said. "What I'm concerned about is the timing, of course, and the economics of the community and the nation are not the best."
The county's 2023 budget also states: "Due to market conditions, salary and related benefit costs were increased significantly in 2022 to be in line with similar positions at comparable agencies."
