Athens County Meeting Mulls Pay Hike and Mental Retardation Funding
Athens County commissioners discussed raising public defender Sanford Cohan’s salary from $958.31 to $1,183.33 retroactive to February, with action tabled pending city cost sharing. They also weighed funding for an assistant prosecutor and secretary, debating long term support amid potential loss of outside funds. Harry Sands outlined intake of 100 mentally retarded individuals from Gallipolis State Institute and possible enrollment of nine or ten in ATCO Sheltered Workshop, while concerns arose about county responsibility and expansion plans. The board approved replacing courthouse sidewalks for 3800 dollars and planned a jail inspection to address ongoing facility problems. A taped meeting by a union representative prompted displeasure.
