Supervisor objects to administrator pay and benefits, questions precedent
Summary
A Culpeper County supervisor challenged the proposed pay and benefits for the incoming county administrator, saying added allowances could push total compensation near $250,000 and asking whether the county has provided such benefits previously.
During discussion of the appointment, Supervisor Bates pressed the board on the compensation package tied to the candidate, arguing that additional items described in the meeting could raise total compensation well above the $220,000 base salary. Bates said: “Essentially, you've been about $250,000 a year by the time you figure the ... ICMA ... 500 a month auto, and then a $15,000 moving fee.”
Chairman Underwood replied that, as far as he could determine, Culpeper County had not previously contributed to ICMA and that providing an automobile is common in some other counties. The transcript does not provide a full, itemized benefits schedule or show a formal amendment to the motion to add those benefits; Bates characterized his $250,000 figure as an estimate reflecting the elements he listed.
