PAB to seek ACC input after county review finds membership stipend 'commensurate' with peers
Summary
St. Mary’s County PAB discussed an Administrative Charging Committee (ACC) stipend review at its May 15 meeting. Dr. Lamas, an ACC member, said proposed compensation appears commensurate with other counties; the board will solicit ACC feedback at the next ACC meeting before taking further action.
The Police Accountability Board discussed a staff memo about ACC member stipends at its May 15 meeting and agreed to seek input from ACC members before making any change.
Dr. Lamas, who sits on the ACC, said he reviewed the materials and found the proposed compensation “commensurate with most counties.” Chairman Nick Cromwell said he will circulate the stipend report to the ACC for comment and bring any requests for further discussion back to the PAB.
Nut graf: The board did not change compensation at the meeting but plans to gather ACC feedback during the ACC’s next scheduled gathering before returning to the topic.
Members noted a few counties with far larger caseloads pay more, and that those outliers appear to handle near‑full‑time workloads. The chair said he expected the matter to remain “status quo” unless ACC members identify a concrete reason to pursue a change.
Ending: Staff will forward the stipend packet to ACC and PAB members and the board will revisit the issue after ACC input, likely at the next PAB meeting.
