County officials considering possibility of raises for 2013

Tippecanoe County Commissioners are considering whether or not there is enough money in the budget to give county employees raises in 2013.

They must have a recommendation to the county Auditor by July 1st.

This year, most county employees received a 2% increase.

Scenarios being considered for 2013 range from no pay hike to a 3.5% increase.

Commissioners believe there will be enough money in the budget for some type of raise, but say they need to take a closer look at potential revenue and expenses before making a recommendation.

The County Council will take a final vote on 2013 salaries during budget hearings later this summer.
