Establishing Salaries for Mayor and Town Commission and Single Health Insurance Benefit

The Town Charter currently provides for the mayor and commissioners to be paid the sum of one dollar ($1.00) per fiscal year for attendance at monthly commission meetings. Shall the Charter be amended to provide the Mayor and Commissioners with annual compensation in the amount of $12,000 each, payable biweekly, and single health insurance benefit as provided to general employees by the Town?

Summary Explanation:

Currently, the Charter provides an annual salary of $1 for the Town's commissioners and mayor. A vote "yes" to this ballot question would increase that salary to $12,000 per year for each commissioner and the mayor. Additionally, commissioners would become eligible for a single-benefit health insurance plan, same as provided to Town employees.
