Fiscal Note
This resolution proposes changing the monthly stipend provided to members of the Police Civilian Oversight Board. Currently members of the Police Civilian Oversight Board receive a monthly stipend of $100 and members of the Board’s Executive Subcommittee receive an additional monthly stipend of $25. In addition to requiring attendance at meetings to receive stipends, the resolution proposes extending an additional $25 per month to members participating in any of the Board’s subcommittees. The resolution also proposes an additional stipend of $25 to be provided to members for attending Board-sponsored training outside of regular meetings. The fiscal impact of the changes could be up to $6,375 and will be absorbed with existing resources. Child care reimbursement for Board members who request it to attend any meeting of the Board, its subcommittees, or a Board-sponsored training is included in the 2024 operating budget. No appropriation is required.
