Lee County supervisors consider $150 daily pay for board of equalization
Summary
At a June 3 recess meeting the Lee County Board of Supervisors discussed raising board of equalization pay to $150 per day; the motion was made and seconded, with one member indicating an abstention and no formal recorded roll-call in the transcript.
The Lee County Board of Supervisors debated whether to raise pay for members of the county board of equalization to $150 per day during a June 3 recess meeting.
"So I make a motion set for the equalization paid a $150 a day," the Chair said, making and appearing to second the motion. Board members discussed whether paying the panel that rate was appropriate given existing salaries and how taxes and withholdings would be handled.
A member asked whether taxes would be deducted from that pay, and another indicated the taxes would be withheld. One supervisor said they would abstain from the vote when it came up, and others noted that board members already draw a salary in addition to any equalization pay. The transcript shows the motion was seconded but does not record a formal roll-call tally or a final outcome for this specific motion.
Board members raised budget concerns about increasing a miscellaneous line item and whether adjustments to other line items would be needed if the pay change were adopted. The administrator noted the county could reappropriate funds later if necessary.
The board’s discussion did not resolve the motion on the public record included in the transcript; a formal outcome or recorded roll-call was not captured in the posted segment.
The supervisors proceeded with remaining agenda items and budget workshop business.
