Council raises civil-service proctor stipend to $100 per date
Summary
The council voted to increase the stipend for commissioners who proctor civil-service exams from $70 to $100 per proctor date, effective immediately; staff said the change is budget-neutral and reflects reduced future exam volume for most non-public-safety positions under new state rules.
The Common Council approved a resolution increasing the stipend paid to civil service commissioners who proctor state and local examinations from $70 to $100 per proctor date, effective immediately.
A sponsor explained the raise responds to outdated pay and noted the state is restructuring civil-service exam processes: non-public-safety positions will move toward interview/resume-based hiring while police and fire exams remain required. Officials said the stipend increase will have minimal budget impact and that funding is available in current appropriations.
The resolution passed by roll call during the meeting.
