Walton county salaries published

Who would have thought our commissioners make what they do plus benefits and the senior management salaries should be a real shock to our regular employees that barely make enough to live on. When was their last raise?

Please post the info or tell me where to find it.

Page three of the DeFuniak Herald - 1/2 page ad.

It's part of a series by the Walton County Taxpayers Association.

He's a screen shot off their website.

Where is Dede's she is another assistant county manager. How many does it take to run this County. When you add Dede in plus all three of their benefits like medical care we are over 400,000 per year just for county managers. Commissioners are at 69,699 plus benefits. Chairman makes more 71,120 plus benefits. Ho gets company cars to drive, and health insurance and what is the added cost to ll the taxpayers for that. I would like to see how much the average employee who actually works is paid that has been with the county 10 years.

The add says Part One when do we get Part Two. Next week I hope and I will for sure start taking this newspaper. Bring new light to why people want to be a commissioner,$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Is there a minimum/maximum on travel reimbursement or is each Commissioner claiming the maximum?

DeDe is not classified as "Senior Management". She will be in Part 2 along with the other Administrative Employees.

"Senior Management" status must be voted on by the BCC as it almost triples the contribution to their retirement.

There are currently 7 employees that receive that "sweet" deal.

Stay tuned to part 3 for the answers to you other question concerning the "average employee".

Part 4 will deal with those in the "Drop" program.

Is there a minimum/maximum on travel reimbursement or is each Commissioner claiming the maximum?

All Commissioner receive the same "reimbursement". They record mileage for a month each year. Those are then compared and the Commissioner with the highest number of miles is used as the base number of miles for all. (Huh?). That is used as the base for 11 months. They do not submit monthly mileage reports (Huh ?)

WOW! What a cushy deal that is!

Why isn't it known whether or not Mark Davis receives taxpayer funded retirement?

The public records request response did not show his numbers.

A request to quantify that number was not received in time to meet the publication deadline.

It will be shown in Part 2

How many employees get mileage and how many get company cars. Do the ones that get company cars also get mileage. I think we demand they keep mileage logs.

Admittedly I am not a math wiz but is that $62,225.00 a year or for travel? Where the @%$#@ (bleep) are they going...China?

How do these figures compare to surrounding Counties?

I think, and I could be wrong, that the county attorney is a 1099 position so retirement wouldn't be necessary.

I no longer feel sorry for commissioners having to sit through those awful meetings.

I think, and I could be wrong, that the county attorney is a 1099 position so retirement wouldn't be necessary.

At one time he was retained as a contract attorney.

He closed his practice and became a "full time" employee of the BCC with all benefits. He has a contract (like the County Administrator) and has a "special arrangement" concerning his "retirement".

The details will be in Part 2.

The travel stipend is particularly interesting. The current IRS mileage allowance is $0.56 per mile. If the travel stipend is entirely for mileage, this means that commissioners are driving 22,223 miles per year for purely county business. To put that in perspective, that's 207 round trips from Miramar Beach to Paxton.

And that's exactly what it is for and includes only "travel". I would point out that they are following a policy from the Florida Department of Revenue.

I would like to see all of their expenses for the year to date. Remember the adds said Cecelia got all her family insurance paid which was never approved by the BCC. If that was true no telling what else they get we do not know about.

Policy or no policy this is just an added income that is not taxable.

Strange, I moved here from a place where city & county commissioners were only paid a minor stipend ($400 per month) AND the school board was paid zilch. Why are all of these people being paid so much for public service????

peterpan, the ads about Commissioner-Elect Jones were very misleading and inaccurate.

m1a1mg, I agree! I've lived in places where a token stipend was paid for public service, and I had no idea (until I actually thought about running for school board, before deciding against it), that the pay was so high, that it included retirement benefits and travel stipends, health insurance, etc.

Nothing ever is accurate in politics.

Hmmm - did she not receive the 100% family paid health insurance for 3 months beyond all other commissioners giving up that unapproved benefit ?

The interest business was hogwash !

This may be why 2/3 of the voters did not want her. She did not even win her district. Just politics !!!!! Why did the poster decide not to run? I heard Jay Odum was her biggest contributor. He has been in jail for violating champaign rules. Is this true?

I beg to differ.

Federal prison to be exact!
