Presently, the BOE is being paid $100.00 per day for a day of hearings or meetings. The last day of hearings, the BOE was in session from 8:45am - 3:00pm and heard 38 petitions. The salary for that day of hearings worked out to $16.67/hour for each board member. If the hearings had lasted longer, they would be making less than minimum wage ($16.28/hour). After discussion with the BOE, we would like to recommend the following salary for BOE members: • $25.00 per hour • 2 hour minimum This is similar to the county policy with the requirement of a 2 -hour minimum and will compensate the board members for the hours they work while potentially saving county resources as not to overpay for shorter BOE days. Sincerely, fmyl 7, �F4� Jerry T. Gingrich, Clerk Board of Equalization (509) 754-2011, X2931 I BOE@GRANTCOUNTYWA.GOV
