Board approves magistrate salary conversion to equivalent $51,060 annual rate
Summary
The Alger County Board approved converting a magistrate position from hourly pay to a salaried equivalent (presented as $51.06 via salary). Commissioners discussed equivalency and parameters before a roll-call vote approved the change.
The Alger County Board of Commissioners voted to convert a magistrate position from hourly pay to an equivalent salaried rate presented in the meeting materials as $51.06 per hour in salary terms.
Commissioner discussion focused on parity and practical implementation. One commissioner described the conversion as "equivalent as well" and emphasized that the salary option should result in the same take-home pay and benefits structure as the prior hourly arrangement. A staff member explained how the hourly and salary figures were calculated and noted the intent was to keep compensation aligned across similar roles.
During the public roll-call, votes were recorded and the board approved the motion. The clerk read the motion and commissioners voted in favor; the chair announced the motion passes. The board directed staff to reflect the salary conversion in the personnel records and to present any necessary paperwork at the next meeting.
The action applies only to the specific magistrate position discussed tonight; no broader pay-scale changes were adopted in this vote.
