Officials approve interim pay and raise top salary for supervisor of assessment posting

Participants in a brief meeting voted to set interim compensation for the interim supervisor of assessment at the same annualized salary as the prior supervisor and to repost the open supervisor of assessment position with an increased top wage of $100,000. The group also approved adjourning and set the next committee meeting for Aug. 27.

The action to set interim pay was described during the meeting as matching "the previous annualized salary of the past supervisor," and the motion to approve the pay change was recorded as passing. Participants also discussed the length of the interim appointment; the transcript records the phrase "4 60 days," which the group referenced in voting, and the motion passed.

For the job posting, participants said the previous advertised range had been $70,000 to $85,000 and that the new posting would list a range of $80,000 to $100,000, with the top wage increased to $100,000. A motion to repost the vacancy with those pay parameters was called and approved by voice vote.

Roll-call votes were recorded when participants left executive session and on other items. The transcript shows Tom Walsh, Kathy, Mike and James each voting "Aye" when the motion to leave executive session was put to a roll call; an additional verbal "I'm an aye as well" was recorded and included in the affirmative tally. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn, which passed.

The meeting transcript does not specify the formal title of the governing body, individual job applicant details, the exact effective date of the reposting, or whether the increased top wage requires additional budget authorization. Those items were not specified in the discussion.
