chairman and other members of the Authority shall be entitled to compensation
for their services at the rate of $100.00 per meeting, including regular
meetings, special called meetings, and work sessions of the Authority and if
approved in advance or ratified by a majority of the Authority, any other
meeting attended by such chairperson or member the primary purpose of which is
official business of the Authority. In addition to such compensation the
chairperson and other members shall be reimbursed for their actual expenses
necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties. The Authority shall
make rules and regulations for its own government. It shall have perpetual
existence."
and
inserting in its place the following:
"The
chairperson shall be compensated in the amount of not more than $1,000.00 and
the other members of the Authority shall be compensated in the amount of not
more than $600.00 per month for the performance of their duties, as determined
by majority vote of the board. The Authority shall take no action to establish
or increase such compensation until notice of intent to take such action and the
fiscal impact of such action has been published in a newspaper designated as the
legal organ for the county at least once a week for three consecutive weeks
immediately preceding the first public meeting at which the proposed action is
discussed. The Authority shall conduct no fewer than two public meetings
regarding any such proposed compensation action. All such meetings shall not
commence sooner than 7:00 P.M. No final action on such proposed compensation
action shall be taken sooner than the second such meeting. In addition to such
compensation, the chairperson and other members shall be reimbursed for their
actual expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties. The
Authority shall make rules and regulations for its own government. It shall
have perpetual
existence."
