COLUMBUS, Ind. – On Monday morning, Bartholomew County Commissioners approved a new one-year contract for Sheriff Matt Myers. His compensation for the coming year will be $120,675.
Under Indiana Code 36-2 13-2.8, counties the size of Bartholomew are required to pay the sheriff at least 80 percent of the annual minimum salary that would be paid by the state to a prosecuting attorney.
The decision is pending the approval of the Bartholomew County Council at its meeting this evening.
