Human Resources Committee
Citizen Stipends
Definitions:
Committee: a municipal board, commission or task force created by the City of Superior
with permanent status containing a combination of elected representatives, appointed
community members, or tribal citizens, and authorized staff.
Eligible appointee, citizen stipend and committee member allocation may all be used
interchangeably, and all require that appointees are current citizens of Superior, or tribal
citizen appointees.
Background
Municipalities rely on the time and expertise of local community members. The
City of Superior designed its governance to require citizen participation to guide
the development of policy & programming.
Citizen appointees volunteer to utilize personal equipment/technology,
transportation, their talent, education, and experience in the name of public service.
Six months (November 2022- May 2023) of monthly discussion and research* by
Human Resource Committee members & staff examined the cost, rate, and
eligibility requirements of potential recipients.
Proposal:
Issue quarterly, fixed stipends to citizen members who attend lawfully noticed,
regular committee meetings (in person or virtually) of which they are appointed.
Existing policy:
Ordinance Sec. 2-267
