The Door County Board of Supervisors could not come up with enough votes to change the payment structure for its future members at Tuesday’s meeting. The new resolution would have changed to a salary basis from the current per diem way, according to County Administrator Ken Pabich.
Board members voted 12-8 to consider the change but a supermajority, 14 votes, was needed to pass the new resolution. Currently, all representatives get paid a per diem of $50 for the first meeting hour and then $25 per hour for additional hours including committee meetings. The proposal was for a flat $542 a month salary. The Door County Board of Supervisors also passed a five year Capital Improvements Plan and approval of three grants for the Soil and Water Department that looks to control invasive species. $$
