Billings County raises board stipends to $75 and appoints Karen to Council on Aging
Summary
The commission voted to increase county-appointed board stipends from $50 to $75 per meeting and approved Karen’s appointment to the regional Council on Aging; commissioners discussed retroactivity and agreed to apply new stipend going forward.
Commissioners reviewed a survey of stipend amounts paid by neighboring counties and debated increasing meeting pay for county-appointed boards (historically $50). Commissioner 4 moved to raise the stipend to $75 per meeting for county-appointed boards; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The commission then appointed Karen to the Council on Aging. Commissioners clarified that council membership on multi-county/regional boards is often compensated differently; they agreed Karen would be paid the $75 per meeting going forward but left any retroactive payments to separate motion if requested.
Next steps: staff to update stipend policy language and implement $75 per meeting for county-appointed boards.
