I would think that most board members would want their pastor to be well compensated according to the church budget.
Finally, a church board is formed for sound business decisions. A board should consist of members who know how to operate a business. They should not be making spiritual decisions.

I have told out church board that I want them to protect me and make sure that I do things according to our by laws. I trust them and they trust me. I receive a salary and have for a LONG time. No one has ever tried to control me in any way whatsoever. It all comes down to trust the freedom of information and just how much one serves the people.
