Board members of district libraries are limited to $30 in compensation per meeting, as stated in section 12 of the District Library Establishment Act: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-Act-24-of-1989.pdf Our trustees do receive the $30 honorarium per meeting, paid out quarterly. I hope that helps!

Other businesses that hold monthly meetings pays their board. The average is about $30 per meeting. We are curious, because it is very hard to find board members and very hard when we do get one for them to actual participate. Maybe.... they would be more involved if they got paid. Just an idea they were batting around. Thank you for your time and your thoughts on this matter. -- Pamela Feutz Adult Services Tamarack District Library 832 S Lincoln Lakeview Mi 48850 Currently Reading Get your own email signature _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l@mail3.mcls.org https://mail3.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l
