Supervisors Will Serve on Civic Panels for Free
- Share via
Ventura County supervisors will no longer receive extra pay for serving on civic boards and commissions.
Supervisors voted 4 to 1 Tuesday to serve without pay when appointed to transit or retirement panels or other boards.
The move was prompted by Supervisor Steve Bennett, who said taxpayers expect supervisors, who earn $85,000 a year, to perform those duties as part of their job.
Supervisor John Flynn of Oxnard dissented. Flynn said he works hard as a member of the county’s assessment appeals board and is entitled to extra pay.
Officials estimate the county will save $4,800 this year as a result of the decision.
