Delegation sets county commissioners pay at $13,000 after amendment
Summary
The Delegation amended an initial $13,500 motion and approved a $13,000 salary for county commissioners, citing comparisons to other counties and a desire for fiscal alignment; the amendment passed 11–2.
The Delegation considered a motion to set County Commissioners’ salaries at $13,500 but approved an amended amount of $13,000 after debate on comparative pay and fiscal alignment. Rep. Karel Crawford moved the initial figure and Rep. Michael Belcher seconded; members debated prior local stipend history and consistency with approved executive raises before the amended motion passed 11–2.
Members discussed hours worked by commissioners and whether the stipend should reflect recent increases seen in some local boards; the Delegation ultimately chose the amended, lower figure in recognition of fiscal considerations and comparability to other counties.
