Supervisors May Amend ‘Living Wage’ Ordinance
Ventura County supervisors may consider changes to a new ordinance that mandates a minimum wage of $8 an hour for anyone who works for the county.
Supervisor Steve Bennett called the changes a cleanup of the ordinance’s language and said they are intended to include workers who perform services outside of county facilities.
Expanding the number of workers covered by the so-called “living wage” ordinance will cost the county $50,000 more than the $1.2 million estimate, Bennett said.
The proposed amendments, scheduled for discussion Tuesday, would also reduce paperwork, Bennett said.
