Chambers County Sees Budget Edge Up to 7 Percent
Chambers County plans a 7 percent budget rise for 2004 as the $20.3 million proposal advances after three days of workshops. A public hearing is set for Aug 18 at the Chambers County Courthouse. County Judge Jimmy Sylvia expects final figures by week’s end with discussions on raises for District Clerk Robert Scherer and Auditor Jerry Sparks highlighting payroll needs. The Three River Cluster Court’s rising caseload influences budget requests amid anticipated 3 percent across the board raise and a 1.5 percent pay-schedule uplift.
