Summary

Board members asked staff to collect comparable-market data on registrar salaries, stipend prevalence, and election frequency and agreed to discuss whether stipends should be rolled into base pay at the August meeting.

The board agreed to request comparative compensation data for registrars and election officials ahead of an August discussion on whether stipends should be rolled into base pay. The Chair said the goal is to build a fair compensation model and asked staff (Mitch) to collect information on comparable communities, stipend usage, and the frequency of elections.

Members noted that stipends grew in prevalence with changes such as early voting and that some communities include stipends while others embed additional pay into salaries. Board members asked staff to consult prior materials and reach out to Gloria and Lisa if they have existing data.
