Baltimore County lawmakers Monday night approved a four-year term and $36,000 raise for Administrative Officer Fred Homan, who is facing allegations he fired a worker who caught him in an “awkward” moment with a female colleague in a county office.

The council approved the package in a 5-0 vote ? making Homan?s $190,000 salary second only to the county?s police chief ? with Councilman Joe Bartenfelder, D-District 6, abstaining.
