Board boosts pay of CEO who nearly left
The Board of Supervisors ratified a pay raise for county Executive Officer Thomas G. Mauk on Tuesday, just two weeks after he turned down the job of running Los Angeles County government.
The new agreement calls for Mauk to receive an 8% pay raise -- from $215,000 to $232,200 -- for 2006, retroactive to June 23. In addition, his annual salary will rise to $241,488 for 2007, retroactive to Jan. 1.
Mauk had accepted an offer of $270,000 a year in Los Angeles County but reconsidered after talking with the Orange County supervisors.
He will also get a contract extension to 2010.
