Following up from my previous post about Contra Costa County Employee Salaries the list available after the jump.
Soon the salaries of 8,500 employees of Contra Costa County will be published and posted on the County’s website. From the Contra Costa Times:
In a July 1 memo, County Administrator John Cullen alerted Contra Costa County’s approximately 8,500 employees that workers’ names and total pay packages, including health care, workers’ compensation and health care benefits, would be posted on the county Web site in the near future. The board of supervisors approved the action March 18. “This is a proactive effort on the part of the county to provide public information that is already available upon request,” Cullen said. “What we are planning on putting out there is certainly public information.
Thanks again to PI Buzz for posting this tidbit, I felt it appropriate to post too, since after all this is the Public Records Guy blog.
In a May 20, 2008 Opinion Memorandum, the California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr. via Deputy Attorney General Daniel G. Stone clarified a longstanding misconception by County Assessors. It pertains the online inquiries for property assessments, etc. They frequently post a disclaimer, erroneously citing a section of the law that actually does not apply to their very claim.
