Routt County Undersheriff David Bustos' salary was set at $64,022 Tuesday morning, about $18,000 less than what Sheriff Gary Wall asked county officials to approve. During the hearing, the Routt County Board of Commissioners agreed that starting Bustos at a "Step 9" on the county's 11-step pay scale set a bad precedent and that Bustos is not qualified to receive an $82,077 salary.
