HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_2209 (2)Mac Lackey, the Iredell County Board of Social Services Vice Chairman, said DSS Director
Wall had worked 18 years for Iredell County. In total, he has 31 years in social work experience.
Lackey said Wall was as high as he could go in his pay grade level. Mr. Lackey said the local social
services office was probably the largest department operated by the county. He also said that any
increase in Wall's salary would be paid from county, state and federal funds.
MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to approve the request as presented.
Commissioner Johnson said the statute read that the county's "flexibility would be limited
only by the requirement that the minimum of the salary range for the social services director be at
least twenty percent higher, but not more than sixty percent higher, than the minimum of the salary
range of the next highest level supervised by the social services director." Johnson said Mr. Wall's
present salary was 25.3 % higher than the next person that he supervised. Commissioner Johnson
said the county was not out of compliance with G.S. 108A-13. Johnson said he had problems
adjusting an employee's salary right after the 1999-2000 budget had been completed. He added
that it was his understanding that Mr. Wall's annual evaluation was currently taking place, and he
(Wall) would probably receive the highest merit increase possible.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to leave the pay for the DSS Director
at the present Grade 80.
Commissioner Stewart said the health director's classification was taken into consideration
during the FY 1999-2000 budget, and the DSS Director's classification should have also been
considered. Stewart said Wall was already at the top of his pay range, and the merit increase
would have to be in the form a bonus. She said the bonus would not contribute to Wall's
retirement.
