Leland Township held its annual meeting on its proposed budgets on Saturday, approving salary resolutions for all members of the board.
The highest proposed increase is for the clerk position, whose total salary was approved for $58,500. Last year, the pay for the position increased by 6.9%, going from $46,746 to $50,250. The increase, which reflects additional election duties now required of the clerk, is more than the original request of $55,000 after members of the public proposed a higher option at the meeting.
The supervisor, treasurer, and trustee positions will all see a 3.1% increase in salary pay as well. The compensation for the supervisor’s post will increase from $33,075 to $34,100, while the trustee pay will increase from $7,560 to $7,800. The current salary rate for the township treasurer is $44,100, and will also increase by 3.1% after the public made a motion during the meeting to include the raise for the position.
