Current law categorizes each county for purposes of establishing
the salaries of elected officials in the county. The statutory salary amounts are adjusted every 2 years for inflation and take effect for terms commencing after any change is made. The bill modifies the categories of 4 counties with the accompanying percentage increase in salary as follows: •
Archuleta county changes from category III-B to category III-A (8% increase);
•
Delta county changes from category III-B to category III-A (8% increase);
•
Saguache county changes from category V-B to category V-A (8% increase); and
•
Summit county changes from category II-A to category I-A (18.5% increase for commissioners, treasurers, assessors, and clerks; 22.2% increase for surveyors; 23.5% increase for sheriffs; 65.5% increase for coroners).
