Bill > HB847

This bill modifies the compensation and positions within the Cobb County Tax Commissioner's office by establishing specific salary levels and roles. The tax commissioner will receive a base salary as mandated by state law plus a supplement of up to $47,443, paid monthly from county funds. A chief clerk position is created with an annual salary of $170,751, and the bill stipulates that candidates for tax commissioner must pre-designate their chief clerk at the time of qualifying for election. Additionally, the bill creates two new positions: an executive secretary and an administrative specialist, both appointed directly by the tax commissioner and serving at their pleasure, with maximum annual salaries of $71,111 each. These positions will be paid from Cobb County funds, and all four positions (tax commissioner, chief clerk, executive secretary, and administrative specialist) will be eligible for standard cost-of-living and merit increases provided to county employees. The bill essentially updates the existing 1949 law governing the Cobb County tax commissioner's office by providing more detailed compensation structures and defining additional administrative roles.
