The Ellis County Commission will discuss implementing a portion of the wage and benefit study conducted in 2014 by Evergreen Solutions.

The commission did not implement the study, instead it only adopted the recommendation to bring employees to the minimum pay rate based on the study.

According to his memo to the commission, County Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes said because the commission enacted a 1 percent pay increase for all county employees, the pay plan in the study needs to be updated.

Smith-Hanes said staff wants the commission to adopt the policies in the study with those minor changes.

In other business, Director of Fire and Emergency Management Darin Myers will discuss purchasing a new vehicle.

Monday’s meeting is at 5 p.m. at the Ellis County Administrative Center.
