Budget committee holds off on the weights and measures budget over an unresolved raise question
Who it touches: This affects anyone who depends on accurate readings at the pump or on a store scale, since the county's weights and measures office is what checks them.
The committee found an unresolved note about whether the weights and measures budget includes a raise for the department's staff, and set the entire budget aside without voting on it.
Staff explained that the budget's added contractual-services money would pay for help handling a growing number of gas stations that need contract inspections.
