The Dawson County Board of Commissioners voted last week to have County Manager David Headley, Human Resources Director and County Clerk Danielle Yarbrough and County Attorney Lynn Frey establish a committee of citizens to review the commission's compensation for potential changes. According to county ordinances, the commission "shall review its compensation levels every four years, approximately 18 months before the general election in which the commission chair is elected." According to Chairman Billy Thurmond, the board's compensation has not been reviewed since 2005.
