SUMMARY & BACKGROUND: At the August 10, 2023, BRE meeting, Chairperson Perkins-Hooker entertained a motion to request a stipend increase for the BRE to $600 for the Chair and $500 for all other board members. The motion was made by Mr. Heekin, seconded by Mr. Johnson, and carried by a unanimous vote.
At the 12/19/2018 Regular BOC meeting, the BOC voted to approve an increase in the compensation for the BRE chairperson to $300 per month, and an increase for the remaining BRE members to $250 per month, to make BRE compensation comparable to the majority of metro county election boards. This increase became effective on January 1, 2019.
Scope of Work: Request approval of the BRE increased compensation from $300 to $600 per month for the chairperson of the BRE and from $250 to $500 per month for all other BRE members.
