Compensation council sets state inspector general salary at $198,214
Summary
The council voted to set pay for a proposed Office of Inspector General position at $198,214, citing recruitment needs and comparator positions; the motion passed with a strong majority.
The Compensation Council approved a salary of $198,214 for a proposed Office of Inspector General position, following staff analysis and comparisons to similar state roles.
MMB staff presented comparator pay ranges and position descriptions, and members discussed recruitment needs, the narrow qualifications required for the position and alignment with existing agency structures. "This is also a situation where based on what we heard the last meeting, everything was pointing toward this number," one member said in support of adopting the recommendation.
The council adopted the pay recommendation in a recorded vote (15 ayes, 1 nay). Members noted the role will be new and that hiring an experienced candidate to stand up the office would likely require competitive pay at the higher end of comparators.
Next steps: The salary recommendation will be recorded in the council report and will inform the governor’s and Legislature’s consideration of funding and position authorization.
