2. Presentation and discussion of the FY 2022-23 County Budget:
• a. Open discussion of 22-23 Proposed Budget
• b. County wide cost of living adjustments, merit allocation and budget policy
regarding both.
Auditor Katie Conner presented the preliminary projected numbers for the FY 2023
Budget prior to any decisions being made by the Commissioners Court. Ms. Conner
then walked the Court through the changes that have been made thus far and explained
the amount of increased revenue the Commissioners Court will be able to utilize in
funding COLA, Merit and additional County needs next fiscal year.
Budget Analyst Nina Payne then gave a presentation on COLA and Merit. She began by
discussing the history of the County's decisions on COLA and Merits, and estimates on
the cost of COLA's up to ten percent.
Vol. 3 6 (- - pg, l.�S
The Court entered into discussion on the options at hand. Commissioner Berry is '
concerned about the state of the current economy and the negative financial impacts that
will have on County staff members. She stated that she would be in favor of a 7.5%
COLA to alleviate some of the financial burden on the staff. Commissioner Aldrich
expressed concern over varying too much from past. percentages, stating that he is in
favor of a more conservative and incremental approach of 4.5% COLA for a period of
two years.
Katie Conner invited Sheriff Wayne Dicky to give insight on the issues he is having
retaining staff due to low salaries in a competitive market. Sheriff Dicky stated that the
Sheriff's Office is entering a level of crisis with 34 vacant positions they are unable to fill.
He asked that the Commissioners Court consider making the salaries more competitive,
detailing a measured approach that includes both COLA and Merit.
Commissioner Berry and Commissioner Cauley continued advocating for a larger
COLA and a one percent merit, while Commissioner Aldrich stated he is more inclined
to go with a 4.5% COLA.
Facility Services Director Ernest Stutts spoke to the hardships his staff members are
enduring as lower paid employees in a time of economic struggle. He stated that he's
had a significant increase in the number of employees requesting a raise this year, in
desperate need to make ends meet. He added that until COLA reaches at least 7%, it
will not do much to help the employees who make lower wages.
Commissioner Aid rich asked for Human Resources perspective on the discussion.
Human Resources Director Jennifer Salazar shared that her staff has looked into what
other counties are doing this year in terms of COLA and the majority appear to be
leaning toward much higher COLA's. She said that Brazos County is generally below
market and needs to be more competitive with salaries in order to retain personnel.
After further consideration, the Commissioners Court advised that it would like to
tentatively use the 7.5% COLA and 1 % Merit as the baseline though, numbers may
change depending on the needs of the County. It was emphasized that the priority for FY
2023 is to take care of staff.

For consideration:
Section 61.037 of the Texas Health and Safety Code requires that the County spend at least
eight percent of the county general revenue levy for that year to provide health care services
to eligible county residents, before requesting assistance from the State.
Section 61.010 of the Texas Health and Safety Code states "if the governing body of a
governmental entity adopts a property tax rate that exceeds the rate calculated under
Section 26.04 of the Tax Code, by more than 8%, and if a portion of the tax rate was
designated to provide revenue for indigent health care services required by this chapter,
the revenue produced by the portion of the tax rate designated for that purpose may be
spent only to provide indigent health care services."
Brazos County has budgeted 8% of the county general revenue levy for many, many
years, however has never had expenditures exceed the 8%.
Does the Court want to set aside a portion of the general fund balance to cover
the amount not spent each year, say $5 million? This would provide the County
with the 8% budget required by statute but also provide a revenue source (fund balance)
separate and apart from current property taxes. ,
Another way to say it would be to use savings for the usually unspent amount and not
tax the taxpayers every year.

year, and employer matching at retirement. The following chart shows the estimated TCDRS
benefit as a percentage of final salary prior to retirement for anew hire;

Assumptions
• Employees are new hires and will work for you until retirement.
• Your current plan provisions will remain in effect through an employee's
retirement.
• Current laws governing TCDRS will continue as they are.
• Graded salary scales give bigger raises early in careers, with smaller raises later in
careers (see Summary Valuation Report at TCDRS.oMffi nployer).
