Title

Autauga Co., revenue commissioner, salary and expense allowance

Summary

Autauga County would give the Revenue Commissioner a $12,000 annual expense allowance now and raise the salary by $12,000 starting with the next term, with the expense allowance then ending.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the Revenue Commissioner of Autauga County would receive a $12,000 annual expense allowance, paid monthly, in addition to current pay and benefits (and it may count toward retirement). Beginning with the next term of office, the Commissioner’s annual salary would increase by $12,000 and the expense allowance would be null and void. The Commissioner would still be eligible for any cost-of-living or other salary increases granted to other county elected officials.

Who It Affects

• Autauga County Revenue Commissioner – receives the new $12,000 expense allowance now and will receive a $12,000 salary increase starting the next term, after which the expense allowance ends.
• Autauga County government and budget – potential impact on compensation costs for the county; act applies only to Autauga County; other elected officials may still receive standard cost-of-living or salary increases.

Key Provisions

• Provides Autauga County Revenue Commissioner with an annual expense allowance of $12,000, payable monthly, in addition to other compensation and potentially usable for retirement.
• Beginning with the next term of office, increases the Revenue Commissioner’s annual salary by $12,000 and makes the $12,000 expense allowance inapplicable thereafter; the commissioner may still receive cost-of-living or other salary increases granted to other elected officials.
