County Commission approves raise for Deputy Coroners

The Lake County Commission met Tuesday, and took action on some personal items. Two new hires, Nathaniel Radford as a Heavy Equipment Operator, and Callie Hartung as a part time Correctional Officer. They also approved the retirement of Paula Ullom the Deputy Register of Deeds. 

Commissioners also increased the pay for Deputy Coroners to $150 per call. Commission Administrative Officer Shelli Gust said the budget should be able to afford the pay increase.
