Summary
The board approved changes to the compensation ordinance and a related resolution for elected officials after brief public comment; the motion passed 3-1-1.
Santa Barbara — The Board of Supervisors on March 4 approved amendments to the county compensation ordinance and a related resolution for elected officials by a 3-1-1 roll call vote.
Administrative item A10 asked the board to consider changes to the compensation ordinance and resolution governing elected-official pay. The item drew a brief public comment from Karen Howinstein, who asked about oversight and government efficiency related to pay decisions.
The matter proceeded to a roll-call vote. The board recorded Supervisor LaVoñino voting yes, Supervisor Lee abstaining, Supervisor Hartman voting yes, Supervisor Nelson voting no, and Chair Capps voting yes. The motion therefore passed 3-1-1. The board did not direct further changes at the meeting; staff will implement the ordinance changes as adopted.
The board’s vote was: LaVoñino — aye; Lee — abstain; Hartman — aye; Nelson — no; Chair Capps — aye.
