The Greene County Board of Supervisors met on Monday in regular session.

The main item on the agenda was consideration of a resolution to create a county compensation board. According to County Attorney Thomas Laehn from previous meetings, a new state law would require the Board of Supervisors to pass a resolution to create a county compensation board, which is the entity that sets the salaries for county elected officials. After the Board had a discussion where they commended the compensation board’s work in previous years of raising salaries to a competitive level, the Supervisors felt they could act as the compensation board going into next year and will review before the following year. 

So when Board Chair John Muir called for a vote, there was no motion and therefore the resolution was not acted upon and that means the Supervisors will be the compensation board. 

The Board also approved a certification of cost allocation plan as prepared by Cost Advisory Services for indirect costs of the 2026 fiscal year, along with approving an amended alcohol license for the Paton Pit Stop. A fiscal year 2026 funding request by New Opportunities was tabled until a future meeting due to the CEO not being present. 

The Board also heard an update from Jefferson City Administrator Scott Peterson. He said there will be a meeting by the Greene County Recycling Agency about dissolving the entity. He added that the rural housing readiness assessment has also been completed.
