County Delays Action on Salary Raise Requests
Cameron County Commissioners Court postponed action on salary increases for four county officials. The petition cites a 1969 bracket bill granting at least 15 000 dollars for counties with populations between 140 000 and 150 000, with a fallback of 13 200 dollars. They seek retroactive pay and await HB 384 outcome. The court also weighed Park Road 100 and northern Cameron County expressway right of way and possible condemnation if no agreement is reached.
