Summary

Staff explained that if ABC commission pay exceeds $150 annually, city council approval is required; staff said current pay is $130 and read a proposed increase (transcript reads '$1.50'), prompting the advisory on council approval.

Staff told the board that the appointment authority (city council) must approve if the annual pay for an ABC commission member exceeds $150.

"I did not realize that if the pay of an ABC commission minimum exceeds $150 annually, then the appointment authority, which is city council, must approve that," staff said (Staff member, S5). Staff noted the current amount is $130 and read a proposed figure that appears in the transcript as "$1.50," leading staff to flag that council approval may be required for any increase above $150.

The transcript does not include a formal council action or final decision on changing the pay; staff framed the comment as a procedural note to ensure the board follows proper approval channels.
