COSTA MESA
The Coast Community College District board of trustees approved one of the largest pay raises ever for a segment of its employees.
The employees, who include educators, administrators, supervisors, maintenance and operations workers and employees of KOCE, the district-run public television station in Huntington Beach, were granted a 6.5% increase for the 2000-01 year.
That increase is a combination of a 4.17% cost-of-living raise approved this month by Gov. Gray Davis, a 1.24% growth fund increase and a 1.09% bonus because the employees agreed to extend their contracts until June 30, 2002, said John Renley, vice chancellor of human resources for the Costa Mesa-based community college district.
