Pastor as head of church board

I am working on building a governance structure for our congregation. One of the interesting things to consider is 1 Tim. 5:17-22 - There, wouldn't you see the local church pastors as among the elders too? They are the head-elders of the board of elders (double honor)

The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.” Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning. I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism. Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Then there's some good observation...

A church is not a clinic in which a faceless and interchangeable staff services the clientele by showing up and handing out pills. The staff of a church is a living, breathing family. We may wrestle at times. We may injure one another sometimes and rescue each other at others. But we’re in it together and need one another. — Bruce Larson [Bruce Larson, Paul Anderson and Doug Self, Mastering Pastoral Care, Series Statement from Jacket., Mastering ministry (Portland, Or.; Carol Stream, IL: Multnomah Press; Christianity Today, 1990), 56.]
