Increase in raises for employees
Despite financial worries, county could up spending
DIXON – The Lee County Board is poised to approve increased spending – more pay raises for employees and the hiring of another sheriff’s deputy.
But a top official said it’s “very possible” that the county will have to lay off employees in a couple of years if its revenue picture doesn’t change.
Today, the board will consider raises for nonunion employees and union highway workers, similar to those given in December to union employees in the county clerk’s and treasurer’s offices.
