The council is created each odd-numbered year to assist the Legislature in establishing the compensation of constitutional officers, justices of the Supreme Court, judges of the Court of Appeals and District Court, and the heads of state and metropolitan agencies included in section 15A.0815. In making recommendations, the council considers the compensation paid to comparable positions in the public and private sector, the amount of compensation needed to attract and retain experienced and competent persons, and the ability of the state to pay the recommended compensation.
