The public health nurses that work at the Chautauqua County Jail are going to be getting a pay raise.

During the county legislature meeting, lawmakers approved a resolution that will increase the “grades” for licensed practical nurses, registered practical nurses, and registered nurse supervisors. These changes will increase their salaries, depending on the title and years of experience, from $1.57 an hour to $9.13 an hour.

In separate resolutions, lawmakers set the salaries of two new positions.

One position is for grant coordinator for Mental Hygiene and Social Services, including Office of the Aging. The position’s salary will be $27.67 to $36.35 an hour.

The other position is for senior grant coordinator for the same departments. This position’s salary will be $32.97 to $43.82 an hour.

The resolutions passed unanimously.
