County debates new accountant's salary - Post-Star

Meeting

* Warren County Board of Supervisors, Finance and Personnel committees, Wednesday.

Top Story

* Supervisors discussed amending policies regarding salary increases after a debate over paying a higher salary to a new junior accountant who was hired by the county Treasurer's Office. The new employee will make about $2,000 more than the person being replaced, and Deputy Treasurer Robert Lynch said the new employee is a certified public accountant with higher qualifications. Warrensburg Supervisor Kevin Geraghty, the county's budget officer, said he was "troubled" that the county was giving out pay increases as it faces budget problems.

Other news

* The county reached agreement with the Sheriff's Lieutenant Collective Bargaining Unit on a new two-year labor contract. The union represents three lieutenants with the county Sheriff's Office, who will get 1 to 1.3 percent raises and agreed to concessions on health insurance coverage.

* Supervisors decided to hold off on a request by the county Treasurer's Office to use $6,600 in occupancy tax surplus to create a system to put county tax records online. Other counties, including Washington and Saratoga counties, have this information online already, Treasurer Frank O'Keefe said. O'Keefe suggested occupancy tax money be used because his office administers occupancy tax payments.

* County supervisors will have to redo the process to create a local law that limits funeral protests because the legal notice about the law did not run as required in The Post-Star. The error was on the newspaper's part.
