What is the annual salary for the Board of Commissioner members and the salary for the Chairman of the Commissioners?

Does someone in the county or at the newspaper know the answer to this question? Voters in the county need to know how much we are paying our elected officials.

Information from the county is as follows:

Chairman: The base annual salary –is $60,000. After certification is received, an additional $1,200 (annually) is added to the salary. In addition to the base salary, there are annual supplements. Longevity is also a factor.
The salary for the present chairman, Milton Dalton, amounts to an annual salary of $70,010.90.

The base salary for part-time commissioners is $15,000 annually. As with the chairman, an additional $1,200 (annually) is added to the base salary after the completion of the certification. Also, they include the annual supplements to these salaries. They also apply a longevity factor of 2.5% for each term completed.

With these supplements added to the base salary of $15,000, Commissioner Rickey Cain's annual salary amounts to $19,375.51. Included in this annual salary - $15,000 base; $1,200 completing certification; 2.5% longevity (completing one full term) and the remaining amount being supplements included in the salary, beginning with the year of 2002.

Applying the supplements to the base salary for Commissioner Joe Barefoot, his annual salary amounts to $18,902.94. The difference in Commissioner Barefoot's salary, compared to Commissioner Cain's salary is the 2.5% longevity factor, as this is Commissioner Barefoot's first term in office.

You must be a Turk follower? It saddens my heart to see that this county has such dirty campaign strategies? Check the record Robin Trotter has helped more people in this county than you or your slander party ever has! Her opponent is the one running scared because he is losing this race, so he reverts to fabricating stories to try destroy Robins character! Who's discriminating now? The person you are making reference to has not been in this community for a long period of time. Robins job title requires her to ask question about a persons personal situation. I believe if a person has nothing to hide when in question then they would not be offended. Robin answers to local level, state level, and local boards. I think it's a shame that an opposing canidate and his party would stoop this low to use a Man with a handicapped child to try to win a position of power! This guy has never ask for direct assistance from her or her board members. The pitiful discrimination story is false!!!!!! What you don't need in office is canidate that will try to destroy whatever or who ever just to get his way!!!!!!
