Linn County supervisors press for full time status and raises
The Linn County Board of Supervisors plans to move to full-time status and raise pay by 25 percent. Proponents including Rice and Engelken say the change reflects the shift from a three to a five member board and the need for professional management. They contrast this with past pay cuts tied to the 2009 board expansion and reference broader Iowa moves toward county manager structures.
