(A) The Budget Committee appointed by the County Judge in the fall of each year shall first solicit from office holders in various agencies of the county proposed budgets, and shall review the budgets with regards to the various expenses and costs of running and funding the offices.
(B) After considering the cost, the Budget Committee shall consider the projected revenues for the upcoming year and shall then make a determination as to the money available in the budget for consideration of raises in office holders’ salaries and employees’ salaries within the county.
(C) If it is determined by the Budget Committee and by the Quorum Court at the hearing on the budget that monies are available for funding raises in office holders’ and/or employees’ salaries, then the budget committee may recommend that the Quorum Court consider offering to the employees and office holders raises at the time the budget is voted on and heard in the November or December meeting of each year.
