Board approves magistrate salary conversion at equivalent of $51.06
Summary
Commissioners approved converting a magistrate position to a salary equivalent of $51.06 (salary-equivalent figure read by staff); the action passed by unanimous roll call.
The Alger County Board approved converting a magistrate position to a salaried role, with staff reading the salary-equivalent figure during the meeting.
Clerk/readout provided the conversion math and the recommended salary-equivalent figure: "It's, $51.06 ... via salary," the clerk said during the discussion. Commissioners debated practical implications such as hourly-equivalent comparisons and requested clear parameters for administration. A motion to approve the conversion and salary was made, seconded, and passed by roll-call vote; all commissioners present voted in favor.
Board members said the conversion is intended to align duties and simplify administration while keeping pay competitive with neighboring counties. Staff will finalize the salary paperwork and implement the pay change in payroll as appropriate.
