Committee debates pay and eligibility changes for boards and commissions
Summary
Members discussed substitute language in ordinance 25165 to extend pay to additional boards and commissions, add $25-per-hour pay for meetings over two hours and exclude county/state employees from eligibility; the measure was moved for further consideration.
Committee members reviewed ordinance 25165 (substitute 1), which would extend pay to members of additional boards and commissions and add a provision to pay members $25 per hour for time beyond two hours. Councilwoman Durham said the substitute contains language to add boards missed in the earlier code rewrite and that the $25-per-hour provision would apply when meetings run longer than two hours.
Members clarified that county and state employees who serve ex officio on boards would be excluded from eligibility for pay. Durham and staff noted an exhibit (Exhibit A) contains the additional language and that the substitute appears on the council agenda even if not listed on the finance agenda; the committee agreed to move the item forward for additional review.
