Bradley County Commission approves $1-per-meeting pay increase for commissioners

The Bradley County Commission voted to increase commissioner compensation by $1 per meeting at a June special called meeting, passing the resolution by roll call 12 in favor, none opposed and two absent.

Commissioner Blake placed the resolution to increase board members' pay by $1 per meeting on the agenda and moved it in the form of a motion; Commissioner Mason seconded the motion. There was no recorded discussion; the roll call recorded 12 "yes" votes and two absences, and the motion carried.

Before the vote Commissioner Blake asked that his comments be entered into the minutes; the record shows no additional debate or amendments to the compensation resolution. The meeting transcript does not specify an effective date for the pay increase or any change to how or when payments will be distributed.

The commission's approval was recorded in the meeting minutes along with the standard roll-call tally and will be reflected in the meeting packet and subsequent payroll procedures if implemented by county administration.
