REVIEW March 10, 2015 order of the Board of Supervisors (Item D.3), entitled "Ordinance No. 2015-05 to Adjust Board of Supervisors Member Salary" and PROVIDE direction to staff on next steps.
|
| |
The staff report indicated that: "On January 2, 2015, a coalition of labor organizations filed a referendum petition..." It was noted that that the Deputy Sheriff's Association filed the petition for referendum and a coalition including the Contra Costa Taxpayers' Association, the Bay Area News Group, labor groups and many individuals gathered the signatures required to qualify the referendum.
After the presentation of Item 4, the group, through consensus, asked that the staff focus on the nine Bay Area counties. The Committee indicated that it would like a total compensation comparison on each county for the respective boards of supervisors. |
