The Marietta Daily Journal – Commission chairman Lee Study needed on pay

MARIETTA — County Chairman Tim Lee wants to hire a consultant to review Cobb government salaries to determine whether they are competitive with surrounding governments.

The Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on a request for proposals on Tuesday. If approved, the consultant could be chosen by early February, said Tony Hagler, the county’s human resources director.

Lee expects the study will take up to a year to finish and the recommendations could be expensive.

“Because it’s been such a long time since we’ve done one of these studies, the implications of the findings might be as much as a $2 million increase in what we need to allocate for salaries,” Lee said.
