This post is just a heads up. The hot topic of whether Supervisor raises should be on the November ballot will be discussed at the next BOS meeting. Filing for the November ballot start on July 14th and it will have to be discussed at least one more time before filing closes. I do not expect a huge turn out for this meeting based on its calendar proximity to Independence Day. I do expect that this process will end up at the ballot box in November.
The last time that we went through this process most of the arguments for both pro and con were absurd enough to merit a discussion of their own. Before I start work on that post I should point out that I support an appropriate compensation increase in concept. What is still to be developed is whether the measure language fits the qualifier of appropriate. My support is based on the only argument that makes sense. I think that the job merits more than 30K per year based on how much work goes into the job and how much knowledge it takes to do the job correctly.
Here is a link to the proposed action item from staff. You can also find a link on item 8a of the agenda.
