Panel sets election workers at state minimum, presiding officers at state minimum plus $5
Summary
The Board set pay so election workers receive the state minimum wage and presiding officers receive the state minimum plus $5; members favored a floating formula so future state increases apply automatically.
The Board of Civil Authority voted to pay election workers the state minimum wage and to pay presiding officers $5 more than the state minimum.
A committee member moved the motion and it was seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and members said "aye." During discussion members endorsed a floating approach — a presiding-officer rate indexed to "state minimum wage plus $5" — so the rate would automatically rise if the state minimum wage increases. "So it's gonna be the election workers get the state minimum wage, and the presiding officers get the state minimum wage plus $5," a committee member summarized during the motion, and the board adopted that approach.
