Madison County compensation board appoints members, affirms statutory pay rules
Summary
At a compensation board meeting, Madison County commissioners appointed required members and instructed the board to follow Montana Code Annotated 7-4-2503 on elected-official salaries; motions to appoint members and to apply statutory additional portionments passed by voice vote.
The Madison County Compensation Board convened at 3:00 p.m. and moved to appoint required board members and follow state statute in setting elected-official pay for fiscal year 2026–27. Chair called the meeting to order and the County Attorney read the controlling statute and listed the offices covered by the compensation rules.
"So this is the compensation board meeting for fiscal year 26 27," the County Attorney said while describing the statute that governs salaries for the county superintendent of schools, sheriff, clerk and recorder, treasurer, justice of the peace, district court clerk and county attorney (Montana Code Annotated 7-4-2503). Commissioners moved to appoint three county officials and taxpayer members to the compensation board; the motion to appoint Mr. Dorboss, Mr. Trelia and Mr. Walsh (in addition to the sheriff) was seconded and carried on a voice vote.
The board also confirmed that the county attorney's office and the listed elected positions are subject to the statute's uniform-salary provisions and discussed the statutory additional portionments that apply to several offices. The meeting record shows motions and voice votes for the appointments and procedural adoption of statutory guidance.
