Board members face a 40 hour minimum service policy though not law binding. They previously voted a 69 percent pay rise. Frost opposed. The $24 000 figure awaits U S Cost of Living Council approval as observers note quasi-judicial duties and extended county responsibilities.

County planners weigh brush land plea for agricultural preserve
The County Planning Commission delayed action on Thomas Fraser's 120 acre Tepusquet Canyon request for agricultural preserve status with tax advantages. The nine month continuance, past the March lien date, means a decision will come after next year. The advisory committee may propose revisions to include open space scenic or recreational preserves, while critics note the rules may be stretched and Fraser could still qualify.
