Supervisor salary ordinance

Read prepared material about the proposed supervisor salary raise and answered Board questions.

Spoke about minimum wage and local business owners, and suggested two ballot measures — one for 2027 and one for 2029/2031.

A caller questioned transparency, noting the salary item was said to have been in the works for almost a year.

Presented a detailed compensation breakdown arguing the true package is about $48,861 per supervisor, not $1,045, and alleged Brown Act violations; urged the item be withdrawn.

Treasurer/Tax Collector initially opposed the ordinance but endorsed the revised version, noting $1,045 a month is inadequate and the minimum-wage formula is reasonable; he supports a negotiator for elected officials.

Auditor/Controller supported appointing a negotiator, backed the board getting minimum wage, and endorsed the rewritten ordinance.
