Clark County Commissioners Marc Boldt and Tom Mielke, both of whom are up for re-election, voted Tuesday to freeze salaries for their positions for the next four years.
The third commissioner, Steve Stuart, was absent Tuesday. The vote does not affect his salary, because he’s on a different election cycle and state law prohibits commissioners from changing their salaries after an election or midterm.
Stuart, who represents District 3, will see his salary increase from $102,224 to $104,224 in 2013 and $106,224 in 2014. The salaries for District 1 and District 2 commissioners will remain at $102,224 through 2016.
Stuart, a Vancouver Democrat, will be up for re-election in 2014.
In District 1, Mielke, a Battle Ground Republican, faces challenger Joe Tanner, a Ridgefield Democrat, in the Nov. 6 general election.
