Board approves new meeting compensation and commissioner salaries in 6–1 vote
Summary
The board adopted Resolution #24-12-15 establishing meeting pay and updated annual salaries for commissioners and the road commissioner; the motion passed 6–1, with Commissioner Johnson opposing.
Shiawassee County’s Board of Commissioners approved a revised meeting compensation schedule and updated annual salaries on Dec. 11, adopting Resolution #24-12-15 by a 6–1 vote.
The resolution updates meeting pay to $60 for in-county meetings, $75 for out-of-county meetings, $100 for meetings longer than four hours, and $100 for Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals meetings. It also sets mileage reimbursement at the IRS rate and states compensation applies only to assigned meetings. The resolution cites alignment with a COLA increase and a county wage study.
The resolution sets annual salaries as follows: County Board Chair $13,000; County Board Vice Chair $12,500; County Commissioner $12,000; and Road Commissioner $10,000. The motion carried with six commissioners voting yes and Commissioner Johnson voting no.
Commissioners discussed compensation in the context of parity with other county roles and a prior wage study; the transcript records the roll-call vote but does not include extended debate or individual floor statements explaining the lone dissent.
With the resolution adopted, the new compensation schedule takes effect Jan. 1, 2025, as described in the resolution text.
