Monitoring committee approves $100 stipend per meeting
Summary
The Franklin City monitoring committee approved raising the meeting stipend for committee members to $100 per meeting. Members reported reviewing the monitoring contract and finding no explicit language setting committee pay; the motion passed by voice vote with one member recorded as opposed.
The Franklin City solid-waste monitoring committee voted to increase the stipend paid to committee members to $100 per meeting.
Committee members discussed whether the contract governing the monitoring committee set a stipend level; a member said they had reviewed the contract and found no language specifying committee pay rates. After discussion, a committee member moved to raise the stipend to $100 per meeting (up from $50), the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. One member voiced opposition during the roll call.
Why it matters: the stipend change alters compensation for committee members who attend meetings and participate in monitoring duties. Committee members said the change is not likely to alter attendance but does provide a small increase in compensation for the role.
Next steps: staff will reflect the new stipend amount in administrative records and pay procedures.
