Council sets compensation for newly formed redevelopment authority; amount in transcript unclear
Summary
Council voted to add the newly appointed three-member Redevelopment Authority to the salary ordinance and to authorize compensation for members, but the transcript does not clearly state the exact per-meeting amount; councilors approved the change with a voice vote.
The Town of Sellersburg approved adding the three members of the recently formed Redevelopment Authority to the town's salary ordinance and authorized compensation for their meetings. Council discussion noted the RDA will need to meet several times while bond issuance and TIF administration proceed; the intention is to compensate members for time when active.
Town staff said the RDA will likely meet three to five times a year in the near term and recommended a modest stipend. Councilor Matt moved to add compensation and Councilor Scott seconded; the council approved the motion by voice vote. The transcript contains conflicting references to specific dollar amounts during the verbal exchange and does not record a clear numeric figure in the minutes. Town staff plans to return an amended salary ordinance reflecting the approved compensation.
The council said the compensation will be paid from the appropriate fund (general fund or redevelopment fund, depending on the activity) and that the payment will be retroactive to cover recent meetings already held by the RDA.
