Shawnee County leaders are getting pay raises. The Board of County Commissioners voted to approve the increases at their meeting Thursday morning. Nine elected officials received a pay increase. That includes: district attorney, sheriff, election commissioner, county clerk, register of deeds, county treasurer, county commission chair, and two county commissioners. Commissioners said they use standards to determine raises. They look at other county salaries, performance, and payment over the next person in charge in the office. “We’re trying to stay within market, we’re trying to make sure that we’re able to attract and keep the key members of our team,” Commission Chair Kevin Cook said.
