O-22-3-101

Ordinance on annual salary increases for sworn officers withdrawn.

Its full path through the Board of Commissioners — 2 appearances on record, oldest first. Every step links back to the official minutes.

How to read this history

Each step below is a separate action the Board of Commissioners took at a separate meeting, oldest first. A later step does not undo an earlier one — an item can be introduced, postponed, amended, and taken up again as it moves through the process. A deferral, in particular, just postpones an item to a later meeting; it is not a rejection. Some items, such as ordinances, are voted on at more than one meeting before they take effect.

  1. Consideration of an Ordinance of the Commission of Knox County, Tennessee, amending Knox County Code, Chapter 42, Article II, “Sheriff”, Division 1, “Generally”, to add a new section 42-31 entitled “Annual Salary Increases for Sworn Officers” to require a minimum two and one-half (2.5) percent annual salary increase for sworn officers regularly employed by the Sheriff’s Office who have attained the rank of Captain or below (amending Knox County Code, Chapter 42, Article II, Division 1, adding Section 42-31, previously reserved) on first reading.
