SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (Grand Haven Tribune)In a time when most people are seeing their pay reduced, two Spring Lake Township officials are getting large pay raises.
Our partner, The Grand Haven Tribune is reporting the two officials will receive a 66% and 83% pay increase.
The Spring Lake Board of Trustees recently approved the raises for Supervisor John Nash and Clerk Carolyn Boersma. Officials say they were given the increases to compensate for additional duties beyond what is required as elected officials.
The Tribune reports Nash's $15,600 annual salary for state-mandated duties will rise to $26,000 for his additional work of attending numerous municipal and regional meetings outside of his statutory scope.
Boersma's $30,000 wages will be upped by $25,000 for additional employee benefits, cemetery and Web site oversight, giving her a salary of $55,000.
