Requests from Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board for General Manager Salary <br /> Cap Increase and ABC Board Member Monthly Stipends Increase <br /> The Board approved requests from the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board to: <br /> 1) increase the salary cap for the ABC General Manager; and <br /> 2) increase the monthly stipends provided to ABC Board Members. <br /> BACKGROUND: Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) General Manager Tony <br /> DuBois, at the request of the ABC Board, submitted information to County staff on October 8, <br /> 2024 with two (2) requests for consideration by the Board of Commissioners (Attachment 1). <br /> ABC General Manager Salary Cap Increase <br /> The first request is to increase the salary cap for the Orange County ABC General Manager. <br /> North Carolina General Statutes stipulate that the salary of the General Manager of a local ABC <br /> board "shall not exceed the salary authorized by the General Assembly for the clerk of superior <br /> court of the county in which the appointing authority was originally incorporated unless such <br /> compensation is otherwise approved by the appointing authority." <br /> At its April 5, 2022 Business meeting, the Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an <br /> increase to the ABC General Manager's salary cap to $132,000 in response to a request from <br /> the ABC Board. Attachment 2 is an excerpt of the minutes from the Board of Commissioners' <br /> April 5, 2022 Business meeting. More recently, the North Carolina General Assembly raised the <br /> Orange County Clerk of Superior Court's salary effective July 1, 2024 to $135,248, above the <br /> $132,000 ceiling approved by the Board of County Commissioners in 2022. <br /> As detailed in Attachment 1, the ABC Board approved salary increases for ABC employees in <br /> February 2024, and approved a salary increase for the ABC General Manager to $127,923 in <br /> July 2024. Attachment 1 notes that the staff salary increases, in conjunction with the current cap <br />
