The Saline County Commissioners will meet tomorrow at 9 a.m. in room 107 at the City-County Building to discuss agenda items like a 2024 salary adjustment for the County Administrator position and construction contracts for various county buildings.
New jail service contract
One of the consent items will have the commissioners consider a contract from Preferred Building Solutions, LLC, an Overland Park-based business, to provide electrical and mechanical work for the new jail.
The contract would provide a third-party commission service for the new jail to service items like the building's 19 rooftop HVAC units, boilers, management systems and 17 other items listed in the contract.
Preferred Building Solutions would also provide four additional services, including the hot water system, the water management system, generator servicing and lighting controls.
The contract contains a fixed fee of $32,600, with an additional fee of $5,500 for electrical work.
Expo Center electrical improvements
Another item on the commission's consent agenda includes electrical improvements for Saline County's Livestock and Expo Center at 900 Greeley Ave., for barn one and two.
Salina-based DRCL Electric, Inc. proposed a $54,550 contract to fix a power pole plaguing the buildings' electric systems.
2024 County Administrator salary adjustment
Another item the commission will consider is the $10,000 increase in the County Administrator position's salary for 2024, increasing from just more than $151,000 to about $161,000 per year.
This salary increase would occur alongside an adjustment in vacation time, allowing the employee in the position to hold up to 192 vacation hours — currently, the position can only hold 50 vacation hours at one time.
