Supervisors raise Board of Equalization pay to $150/day
Summary
The Board adopted R2026-20 raising Board of Equalization compensation from $75 to $150 per day (retroactive to the first meeting of this round), citing recruitment concerns and comparisons with peer counties.
The Board reviewed a request from the Board of Equalization to increase per‑diem compensation, noting the BOE had been paid $75 per day since 2005. Staff presented budget estimates for raising compensation to $100, $150 or $200 per day. Supervisors agreed that increased pay would help recruitment and moved to set the rate at $150 per day. The board adopted resolution R2026-20 by voice vote.
Members noted that neighboring localities pay higher rates and that BOE work occurs in intensive multi‑hour hearings every four years; staff estimated the fiscal impact if the board approved the higher rate. The resolution passed with supervisors voting in favor by voice.
