No, a fee-based public official is an individual who receives and retains remuneration directly from the public. 

An individual who receives payment for services from government funds in the form of a wage or salary is not a fee-based public official, even if the compensation is called a fee.

What about a public high school coach who, at the end of the season, gets paid a one-time stipend?
