County Administrator gets 4 percent raise from county officials
County Administrator Craig Weinaug received a 4 percent pay raise after his annual review. The package includes a 2 percent cost of living adjustment, 1 percent longevity and 1 percent merit. The COLA applies now, the merit increase is immediate, and the longevity rise begins at his June anniversary. County employees also receive a 2 percent COLA and may earn 0 to 4 percent merit plus a 1 percent longevity each year until salary caps. In 1998, county workers could see a 3 percent base raise and up to 7 percent with evaluations.
