Does this quality as a fee-basis state or local government official? I serve in an appointed position for the locally utility board. I get paid a lump sum amount.

No. This is not a "fee-basis official" position.

 

The IRS defines a fee-basis official as someone who receives and retains remuneration directly from the public.

 

Please read this IRS document for more information.
