PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION ( #028 -11) OF THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF FREDERICK COUNTY TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION OF THE FREDERICK- WINCHESTER SERVICE
AUTHORITY.
THE AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE
FREDERICK- WINCHESTER SERVICE AUTHORITY WOULD DELETE THE
FOLLOWING SENTENCE IN PARAGRAPH (F) OF THE AMENDED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION DATED APRIL 13,1995:
"EACH MEMBER SHALL SERVE WITHOUT COMPENSATION, EXCEPT
THAT THE MEMBER APPOINTED BY CONCURRENT ACTION MAY BE
COMPENSATED NOT MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
DOLLARS ($1,800.00) PER ANNUM."
THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE
FREDERICK- WINCHESTER SERVICE AUTHORITY WOULD FURTHER
SUBSTITUTE THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE IN THE PLACE AND STEAD OF
THE DELETED SENTENCE IN PARAGRAPH (F) OF THE AMENDED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION DATED APRIL_ 13,1995:
"EACH MEMBER SHALL SERVE WITHOUT COMPENSATION, EXCEPT
THAT THE CHAIRMAN ELECTED BY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS MAY BE COMPENSATED NOT MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS ($2,400.00) PER ANNUM, OR SUCH GREATER
AMOUNT AS MAY BE DETERMINED BY RESOLUTION OF THE
GOVERNING BODY OR BODIES WHICH ARE MEMBERS OF THE
AUTHORITY."
THIS AMENDMENT DOES NOT EFFECT A RESTATMENT OF THE
ARTICLES OF INCO RPORATION. - APPROVED
Administrator Riley advised the Board previously approved amendments to these articles
at their September 22, 2010 meeting. That amendment required any change in the amount of
compensation paid to the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority Chairman to be approved by
resolution of the governing bodies which are members. Upon further review and consideration
of this amendment, it was determined that the language created a very heavily bureaucratic
process, which would require the Service Authority to bring any change in the Chairman's
compensation to the Board for approval. He went on to say the County Attorney has revised the
language to establish a compensation ceiling for the Chairman of $2,400 per annum, which
would allow the Service Authority to adjust the Chairman's compensation up to this ceiling
without seeking approval of the governing bodies which are members. Anything above $2,400
per annum would require approval of the respective governing bodies.
