The regional council was not unanimous about the change. The full-time chairman receives a remuneration of 75,000 euros per year, and nothing else.
One of Päijät-Häme’s most significant positions of trust will become full-time. In the future, the position of the chairperson of the regional board of the welfare area will be full-time, while previously it was part-time.
The change was decided on Monday by the Päijät-Häme regional council, of which 40 members were in favor and 28 were against full-time when voting on the matter. One abstained.
The annual fee for the full-time position of trust of the chairman of the regional board is 75,000 euros, and no other meeting fees and other fees defined by the administrative rules are paid. The chairman’s full-time tenure was one of the most essential changes that the regional council approved to the administrative rules.
