[Adopted 12-12-1985 as Ord. No. LXXXI]
Each Supervisor of Mount Joy Township elected or appointed to office
on or after November 5, 1985, shall receive compensation for attending duly
advertised general or special public meetings of the Board of Supervisors
at the rate of fifty dollars ($50.) for each meeting attended by the Supervisor.
No Supervisor shall receive annual compensation under this Article in
excess of the annual statutory limit set by the General Assembly in Act 68 for supervisors of second class townships within the appropriate
population category.
No Supervisor shall be compensated for attending any meetings of the
Board of Supervisors in excess of forty (40) meetings per year. However, the
absence of compensation shall not negate or in any way affect the Supervisor's
duty or obligation to attend such uncompensated meetings.
Such compensation shall be paid in quarterly installments.
The salary to be paid each Supervisor pursuant to this Article is considered
compensation for services rendered by the Supervisor for the duties imposed
by law on Supervisors of second class townships. Should a Supervisor perform
services for the township while acting as a superintendent, roadmaster or
laborer, the Supervisor shall be entitled to such additional compensation
as is determined by the Township Auditors. However, no Supervisor shall receive
compensation as a superintendent or roadmaster for time he or she spends attending
a meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
[Adopted 9-18-1995 as Ord. No. CXLIII]
Section 515 of the Second Class Township Code has established the maximum
compensation for members of boards of supervisors of second class townships
based upon the population of such townships. Section 515 of the Second Class
Township Code was amended to require that the compensation be paid in monthly
or quarterly payments. The Board of Supervisors is presently paid on a per-meeting
basis which does not strictly comply with Section 515. The Board of Supervisors
therefore desires to reestablish compensation for members of the Board of
Supervisors as an annual salary, payable in equal monthly installments. The
reestablishment of such compensation will not result in an increase in compensation
to members of the Board of Supervisors but will alter the calculation and
frequency of payment.
Each Supervisor of Mount Joy Township taking office by election or appointment
after January 1, 1996, shall receive compensation for attending duly advertised
meetings or executive sessions of the Board of Supervisors and performing
other duties as a member of the Board of Supervisors at the rate of one hundred
dollars ($100.) per month, or one thousand two hundred dollars ($1,200.) per
annum.
No Supervisor shall receive annual compensation under this Article in
excess of the annual statutory limit set by the General Assembly in Act 68
(1985) for supervisors of second class townships within the appropriate population
category.
Members of the Board of Supervisors whose terms of office commenced
prior to January 1, 1996, shall receive compensation in accordance with Ordinance
No. LXXXI of the township, enacted December 12, 1985.
Compensation authorized herein shall be paid in monthly installments.
The salary to be paid each supervisor pursuant to this Article is considered
compensation for services rendered by the supervisor for the duties imposed
by law on supervisors of second class townships. Should a supervisor perform
services for the township while acting as a superintendent, roadmaster or
laborer, the supervisor shall be entitled to such additional compensation
as is determined by the township auditors. However, no supervisor shall receive
compensation as a superintendent or roadmaster for the time he or she spends
attending a meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
This Article shall become effective five (5) days after its enactment
as provided by law and shall apply to supervisors, whether newly elected,
reelected or appointed, who take office on or after January 1, 1996.
