There's a new person in Boise's highest-paying city job. What she's making
Boise’s new airport director, the city’s highest-paying position , won’t be raking in quite as much money as her predecessor. Mayor Lauren McLean selected Beth Sumner, the deputy director of engineering and planning, to replace former director Rebecca Hupp. Hupp earned $339,000 in the job, but Sumner will earn a little less: $325,000, airport spokesperson Jennifer Kronberg told the Idaho Statesman. “Beth has demonstrated an unmatched commitment to the growth of Boise’s Airport, leading important projects as we undergo an incredible expansion,” McLean said in a news release. “I look forward to her insights and leadership for years to come.” Sumner was previously one of six city employees whose salary topped $200,000 a year.

She also served in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard for 26 years, according to the release.
