How the OC Sanitation Directors Voted on their 25% Pay Raise

Since there is an interest in knowing exactly how each Directors on the Orange County Sanitation District voted on Ordinance No. OCSD-23, which increased their meeting stipend by 25%, here is the breakdown:

Anaheim: Harry Sidhu voted NO
Brea: Roy Moore voted YES
Buena Park: Patsy Marshall voted NO
Cypress: Phil Luebben voted YES
Fountain Valley: Larry Crandall voted YES
Fullerton: Don Bankhead voted NO
Garden Grove: Bill Dalton voted NO

Huntington Beach: Cathy Green voted YES
Irvine: Steven Choi voted YES
La Habra: Tom Beamish voted NO
La Palma: Mark Waldman voted YES
Los Alamitos: Ken Parker voted YES
Newport Beach: Don Webb voted YES

Orange: Jon Dumitru was ABSENCE
Placentia: Constance Underhill voted YES
Santa Ana: Sal Tinajero was ABSENCE
Seal Beach: Charles Antos voted NO
Stanton: Dave Shawver voted NO
Tustin: Doug Davert voted YES
Villa Park: Rich Freschi voted YES

Yorba Linda: Jim Winder voted NO
Costa Mesa Sanitary District: James Ferryman voted YES
Midway City Sanitary District: Joy Neugebauer voted YES
Irvine Ranch Water District: Darryl Miller was ABSENCE
County of Orange: Chris Norby voted YES

Why would Steven Choi, who is running for Assembly, vote for a 25% pay raise?  I cannot imagine that would look good on any mailer.  At least Harry Sidhu, who is also a candidate for state office, have some common sense and voted 'NO'.

[Thanks but we want more info]

Thanks for this list! It would be nice if the O.C. Register ( hint, hint, Martin and Peggy:) would do a full page box grid showing all the county boards and commissions and what the members get paid. The O.C. Water Board members get $200/meeting up to 10 meetings, full medical ins, and more. The Toll Road Boards, the Fire Authority, etc all pay members to attend meetings. It's hard to find a source that shows them all and what they pay. The the Blogs we at least have people talking about the dirty little secret that politicians have tried to keep quiet while they increase our taxes.

Congrats to Don Bankhead. What was Norby thinking? C'mon Chris, spill it.

Let's see who gives their pay raise to charity. :)

i wondered where all these old time politicos landed. with the hefty raise, what does that bring their take home to?

[great post!]

Norby voted for it?! Disappointing, but not really that surprising since he was willing to try and pull that end run on term limits last year.

Maybe it's time for him to get a real job.

Chris Norby is a hoot. He fights with the deputies for a year over their 3 year (roughly 15 percent) contract and at the same time raised benefits for himself as a member of the Board of Supervisors and now the OC sanitation district. He should get a bumper sticker that reads:

OCSD Deputies NO RAISE
OCSD Directors 25% RAISE
