Title

AN ACT CONCERNING THE COMPENSATION REVIEW BOARD for the purpose of establishing a Compensation Review Board to study the rate of current compensation for Council Members and the County Executive and making recommendations regarding the amount of compensation in accordance with state and local laws, and generally relating to the Compensation Review Board.

 

Background

This bill establishes a Compensation Review Board to study the rate of current compensation for Council members and the County Executive.  The Compensation Review Board will make recommendations regarding the amount of compensation in accordance with state and local laws.

 

Section 308 and Section 406 of the County Charter require that a compensation review board be appointed, not later than December 15 of the last year of each term, by the County Council and the County Executive. In addition, Sections 10-302 and 10-303, Local Government I, Annotated Code of Maryland, set forth certain additional procedural prescriptions that must be followed in order to establish a commission to recommend rates of compensation and allowances for members of the County legislative body. This bill will appoint a Compensation Review Board in accordance with the prescriptions of state and local laws. The appointees nominated to this Board are intended to also serve as members of the Charter Review Commission.
