Montague County Commissioners put the finishing touches on their proposed 2018-19 budget Monday, but they still await the arrival of tax revenue numbers based on the certified values released this week.
During a 90-minute budget workshop Monday the court went through each department’s primary budget requests.
The court denied all salary increases even those that would be paid from restricted designated office funds, not the general fund. The county clerk, district clerk and tax assessor each asked to increase their base level clerk’s salaries.
In the end the court denied all salary increases, however, commissioners also approved the addition of one new deputy, moving a part-time dispatcher to full-time, numerous computer updates and the purchase of new voting machines.
