A proposal to give NORD directors pay hikes, may not get far at today's monthly meeting. Vernon directors will be asking the regional board to delay the matter to allow for more discussion. Among the more contentious issues would see municipal directors see their base pay rise from15-hundred dollars, to six thousand annually. NORD chairman Jerry Oglow supports some sort of increase. He says board members have to invest far more time in their duties, than they did five years ago. 'From my perspective, as chair of the board, I have seen a significant increase in workload responsibility for all directors.' If the increases are approved, it would add up to an extra 35-thousand dollars a year to compensate the board and committee members.
