The Brazos Valley Commissioners Court approved a proposal for a 4.5% salary increase for government employees.
The approval follows a low retention rate and numerous vacancies in government functions, like at the Brazos County Jail and juvenile center. The salary increase hopes to make county positions more competitive and help retain employees.
