When Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 1's budget was
discussed her salary increase of 11.11% was questioned. If
the county is going to redistrict, her area will be reduced
and there is no need for her salary to be increased that
much. County Judge Edwards ,said it would be a year before
the redistricting is complete and her precinct will still
cover most of the City of Kerrville.
The public hearing on the budget recessed at 4:07 o'clock
P. M. and the public hearing on the proposed increase of
salary for certain elected officials was opened. There were
seven (7) elected officials, six (6) members of the public,
two (2) members of the press, and the County Auditor present.
David Motley, County Attorney, ask why he had not received
the 4% cost of living increase. When he was appointed his
salary was cut 55,000.00, which the Attorney General's Office
says the Commissioners' Court may not change an elected
official's salary in the middle of a budget year. When the
Court would not give Mr. Motley the 4% cost of living he
handed the County Judge a request to convene the Salary
Grievance Committee to hear his case. Bill Ragsdale, Justice
of the Peace, Precinct #4 elect addressed the Court in
reference to his salary and his secretary's hours. His
salary will remain the same, but his secretary will work a
forty (40) hour week.
