Okay, let’s tackle this. So Kathy Avant has 32 years of experience in government and public administration, which is a long time. Her role as Fiscal Officer and Budget Administrator is also quite specialized.

I'd compare this to other administrative professionals in similar roles, and rates tend to be lower in smaller towns. Maybe around $40–$60 per hour? But considering her experience and specialized skills, maybe higher. Some administrative professionals with similar experience might average $50–$80. So I’ll estimate around $45
