Responsibility for Salary Changes
You may wonder, who is responsible for elected officials salary changes? Meridian Township has an Elected Officials Compensation Commission. They are charged with setting the salaries and compensation of all the Township's Boards and Commissions. The Elected Official Compensation Commission met in spring of 2009 and recommended making my suggested change. I appeared before the elected officials compensation commission and asked them in writing to reduce the salary of the Treasurer. This is the legal procedure for the salary reduction to occur.
