July 17, 2017 Agenda

This is an eye opener:
County Pay Scale (Effective Jan. 1, 2017)

Approximately 519 County Employees With a Median Income of $49,000
Total Cost: $25,418,970!
(And the county budget is approximately $77,000,000. Subtract from $25,418,970 = $51,581,030 left for funding the county)
Approximately 67,000 people live in our county which means the county employee ratio is a staggering 1:129!
FRANKLIN: 1 County Employee for Every 129 Citizens
GRANVILLE: 1 County Employee for Every 204 Citizens

FRANKLIN COUNTY: 519 EMPLOYEES (INCLUDING 93 FOR SOCIAL SERVICES)
GRANVILLE COUNTY: 294 EMPLOYEES
FRANKLIN COUNTY HAS A WHOPPING 225 MORE EMPLOYEES!

Is this one of the reasons Franklin County is the fourth highest taxed county in our state?
We are currently at 89.5 cents per $100 valuation.
(Note: Majority of teachers are not included as county employees because their salaries are paid for by the state.)
