• Draft resolution for Commissioners&Elected Official's 2013 salaries. Any change to
Conunissioners'salaries needs to be adopted before November 6 election. There was discussion
of the proposed resolution that would reduce the Commissioners'salaries to the 2008 level for
Districts 1 and 2. District 3 salary cannot be changed until the new term,2015. Cmmr. Sheldon
pointed out that candidates filed for office based on the salary at the time of filing. This resolution
would create an inequity for Commissioners'salaries. Cmmr.Ring Erickson is not in favor of
tying the salaries to the Superior Court Judges salaries. She does favor reducing the salaries and
stopping the automatic 3%increase to Commissioners'salaries. She would like the
Commissioners'salaries tied to the non-represented employees.
