Board of Ethics Staff Salaries and Pay Scales (Bill 2)
Approved amendments to section 2.56.080 Maui County Code allowing the executive director to set staff salaries within council-approved ranges, clarifying the board sets the executive director salary (capped at $227,020.91), establishing pay scales for attorneys based on years since bar admission per section 2.44.015a, and creating pay scales for paralegals and part-time employees. Amendments added 'for board of ethics staff' to the title and revised Section E to remove language implying unlimited attorney hiring.
- Attorney salaries must be set based on years since admission to practice law pursuant to salary scale under 2.44.015a Maui County code and may not exceed the board of ethics executive director salary.
