Going against the Mariposa County CAO's recommendation yesterday (Tuesday February 6, 2007), the Board of Supervisors granted raises to all department heads, with some getting bigger raises than others as Supervisor Bob Pickard and Supervisor Janet Bibby's 'System Of Raises'
falls into a re-adjustment phase. Dr. Mosher is knocking on the door of $100K a year with this re-adjustment.

A couple of jobs out at the county land fill that are now part time will be going full time. People working out there deserve to be full time with county benefits considering the work they do. A big tip of the hat to the dept. head who suggested this.

The Mariposa County Library is going high-tech as they will be offering free Wi-Fi in a few months inside and outside (Limited) the library if you have a Mariposa Library Card or stop inside and get a free tourist card.
With Saturday hours reinstated and now Wi-Fi, things just keep looking up at the
Library !!

County of Mariposa General Plan



The Mariposa Board Of Supervisors along with the public, wrapped up the Mariposa County General Plan last night as they finished up about 10:30 PM. This plan has been in the design stages for about six years, so this current board can be proud of itself for completing this important document. Again the Sierra Sun Times was the only reporting media at the meeting so look back later as we put together a final story on the General Plan.
