Salaries for nine elected officials increased by 4 percent on Sept. 1 as the result of a resolution passed last year, said Melanie Bacon, director of Island County Human Resources. That resolution tied the salaries of the elected officials to some percentage of the salary of a Superior Court judge.

Commissioner Rick Hannold’s salary increased to $83,277. Neither of the other two commissioners’ salaries could be increased, as they voted on the resolution and are not allowed to approve their own salary increases, Bacon said. Hannold was not in office when that vote was taken.

The salaries of the auditor, assessor, clerk, coroner and treasurer each increased to $74,951.

The sheriff’s salary grew to $91,603, and the portion of the salary paid by the county to the prosecutor increased to $56,201.

All the new salaries represent increases of 4 percent.

The raises were triggered by the increase Sept. 1 of a Superior Court judge’s salary to $162,618, up 4 percent.
