A pay compensation study contract for $34,500 with Dr. Condre and Associates was approved to update county employee salary data, with the study planned for the following year. The board also reviewed a final plat for the Alder Grove Phase 2A subdivision, including dedication of stormwater and drainage easements to the county and city of Midway, with associated letters of credit totaling over $300,000 to guarantee improvements and maintenance. Other discussions included a proposal for annual funding of $1,500 to support a scout troop's stewardship of Newman's Pond Sanctuary, and a request to increase recreation program fees by $10 per participant due to rising costs.
