Commissioners' pay raised in first reading to $500 per month, effective 2027
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Chair read the first reading of an ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 6 (Series 2023) to increase commissioners' pay from $400 to $500 per month, with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2027; the ordinance had its first reading and was not voted on tonight.
The Chair read the first reading of a proposed ordinance to amend Ordinance Number 6, Series 2023, raising commissioners' monthly compensation from $400 to $500 and stating the ordinance "shall become effective 01/01/2027 upon passage, approval, properly signed and published as required by law."
The reading identified the draft as likely to be numbered in Series 2026 and said the ordinance would return for further action at a future regular meeting; the Chair said the commission does not have to finalize the change until before May but that staff would attempt to bring it back next month.
The measure is a first reading only; no motion to adopt was recorded during the session. The ordinance text read aloud sets the new monthly pay and references existing local ordinance language it would amend.
If adopted, the change would increase the monthly stipend paid to each commissioner; the draft gives an effective date of Jan. 1, 2027. The commission did not take a final vote on the ordinance at this meeting.
Next steps: the Chair indicated the ordinance would likely be on the agenda for the commission's next regular meeting for additional consideration and a possible vote.
