(KLZA)-- Following several weeks of discussion and urging from members of the Richardson County Sheriff's Department, County Commissioners have approved a salary increase beginning June 30th for the various Deputy Sheriff positions within the department.
During the June 26th Commissioners meeting, Deputy Clinton Stonebarger presented a revised “step pay scale” to Commissioners John Caverzagie and Terry Frank. Board Chairman David Sickel was gone due to an illness.
Following discussion, commissioners tabled the step pay scale for further consideration.

The annual salary for the Sheriff is set for four-year periods and will not be changed.
