City seeks salary solution in court clerk and bailiff pay dispute
Athens officials meet with Athens County Municipal Court Judge Franklin Sheeter to resolve an unresolved pay raise for the Municipal Clerk of Courts Yvonne Johnson and bailiff Ben Williams. City Solicitor Gerald Mollica says council must approve any extra pay, about $100 monthly each, while Sheeter cites a court order authorizing the raises. The finance committee previously set Johnson’s salary at 7758 dollars, with Sheeter seeking 9000 dollars per year. Additional requests for a full-time city prosecutor and a full-time public defender were discussed but postponed.
