Hi Chuck,

| believe we would need to do a local law and public referendum. | looked into this issue for Kathleen in October:
What needs to be done if the Board chooses to increase an elected official’s salary at some point throughout the
year?
The Elected Official’s final salary cannot exceed the amount listed in the public notice, unless increased via
a separate local law subject to public referendum.

Here is a link to a Comptroller’s Opinion that specifically addresses your two questions:

Good morning Brigid,

As you saw in the last meeting, the Board approved providing dog control to Sardinia and Holland.
Dave is requesting an increase in his existing dog control stipend, A38510.102, of $5,000.00.

This increase is not in the budget, how do we increase an elected official’s stipend?

If you'd like to go through this in person, let me know when is best for you.

Thank you,
Chuck
