Pottawatomie County government employees will receive a 3% cost of living adjustment (COLA) for 2022. Along with the COLA, those employees still on staff who worked during the COVID-19 shutdown will receive a $600 one-time bonus. The decision came Monday after a long discussion that spanned several Pottawatomie County Commission meetings. The adjustment will come from the general fund while the one-time bonus comes from federal American Rescue Plan Act funds. Commissioners had considerable debate on how much should be funded in each area – or even if the bonus should be funded at all.
