MAYVILLE – A public hearing on a local law to supplement the salary of the Chautauqua County Public Defender will take place this morning.
The local law involves distributing a $45,000 grant the county recently received from the Office of Indigent Legal Services to help offset the increased workload of the public defender’s office. Under the proposed local law, public defender Ned Barone will receive the additional funding over the remainder of the 2015 pay period, and is contingent upon his working full time for the county. No local money would be used in the supplement.
The public hearing begins at 11:30 this morning in the office of Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan.
