Board Compensation
RErERENc 8:
ENCLO6UREl5:
In order to establish a rational process to provide some recommen-
dations as to the level of compensation to be established for the
Boards serving in the City of Miami. The following information is
provided.
The survey was conducted November 1976 by the Department of Human
Resources for salaries paid to members of a number of governmental
administrative and advisory boards in the South Florida area.
• Metropolitan Dade County indicated that members of its
advisory boards are not compensated. The Planning Board
and Personnel Board fall into this advisory category.
The City of Hialeah pays members of its Planning & Zoning
Board $50 per month and the Board meets twice a month.
The Personnel Board, which performs similar functions to
that of the Civil Service Board of Miami, meets once a
month and members are not compensated.
The City of Miami Beach and the City of Coral Gables do
not compensate Board members.
The City of North Miami indicated that the Personnel Board, ,.
the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustment each
compensate their members at $10 per meeting. Generally,
these Boards meet once a month, but in any event, there is
a ceiling of $20 per month per Board member on the compensa-
tion that can be provided.
The City of North Miami Beach does not compensate members
of its Civil Service Board, but provides the Chief Examiner
with $100 per mon*h. Planning and Zoning Board members
receive $10 per month.
The City of Fort Lauderdale does not compensate members of
its Advisory Board. Their Civil Service Board and other
Boards similar to those for planning and zoning as in the
City of Miami are regarded as advisory boards.

toward County goVeththent has a httbet of Boards such
AS their Personnel Advisory toard, Board of Rules and
Appeals, Zoning Board, Board of Adjustment, and Regional
Planning Council. These Board members are not coMpen§atedi
However, they are paid expenses if they are requested to
make field trips or in some way incur expenses in the
performance of their duties and responsibilities.
Prot the survey conducted of local government in the South
?lorida area, it has become evident that the prevailing local
practice for remuneration of members of governmental advisory
and administrative boards, zoning boards, and community relations
boards, etc., is either not to compensate the members at all,
or to provide some minimal remuneration such as $10 per month
or direct payment of expenses incurred in performance of their
duties or responsibilities.
