ALBION – The Orleans County Legislature has approved 2 percent raises for department heads and elected officials, with the increases starting June 1, 2026, and then in January 2027 and January 2028.

That matches what the county has offered in raises in recent years as part of its management compensation plan.

The raises were approved at last week’s County Legislature meeting.

“The Legislature desires to control costs and provide certainty for the budget process as it relates to compensation for management and elected officials,” according to a resolution that passed unanimously.
