Giles County Commission to consider locking pay and removing per-meeting compensation
Loading...
Summary
The Giles County Commission is scheduled to consider revisions on April 20 that would remove per-committee meeting pay and set commissioners' pay for four years; the change is described as addressing a state law that bars penalty clauses for missed meetings (statute not specified in the transcript).
Pulaski Citizen reporter Chandler Harmon said the Giles County Commission is set to consider changes to how commissioners are paid at its April 20 meeting. Harmon reported the proposed revisions would remove pay for individual committee meetings and lock in the pay structure for the next four years.
Harmon said the revisions are intended to address a state law referenced in the broadcast that “prohibits a penalty clause for missing meetings”; the transcript does not identify a specific statute or citation. No vote occurred during the radio wrap; Harmon said the commission will consider the item at the upcoming meeting.
The transcript does not include comments from commissioners, county staff or affected officials explaining how the new structure would change individual compensation amounts or the fiscal impact on the county budget. Harmon did not report whether the proposal had been introduced as an ordinance, resolution or other formal item on the agenda.
