The Johnson County Board of Supervisors reminds business owners and the public that the County’s recommended minimum wage has increased to $12.64 per hour, effective Monday, July 1, 2024. In March of 2024, Supervisors voted to increase the County’s recommended minimum wage using the Consumer Price Index data to set the increase, which is based on inflation.  

Though the wage increase is symbolic in nature and unenforceable under State law, the Supervisors approved the increase to remain in line with their vote in September 2015 to begin phased increases.

The Board of Supervisors weekly formal meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, July 4, 2024, is rescheduled to 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2, 2024. There will be no work session on Wednesday, July 3.

Additionally, the weekly formal meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, July 11, 2024, has been rescheduled to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. The work session will continue as scheduled at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.
