Bid to Strip Officials of Extra Pay Is Stifled
An effort to strip county officials of extra pay for serving on committees was thwarted at the last minute Tuesday when County Supervisor John Flynn included an amendment to the policy.
On Flynn’s recommendation, the board voted 3 to 2 to exempt payment that supervisors receive for sitting on two specific committees: the county’s tax appeals panel and its retirement board.
Flynn has sat on the tax appeals panel for 25 years and receives $400 a month for attending weekly meetings. Board Chairman Frank Schillo collects $200 a month for sitting on the retirement board, which meets twice a month. He and Supervisor Judy Mikels supported Flynn’s amendment.
