§ 4951. Findings and purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The Board of Supervisors finds that the County of Ventura is the principal provider of social and health services within the County, especially to persons who are compelled by economic constraints to turn to the County for such services. Employers' failure to pay a living wage to their employees may cause individuals to use such services, thereby placing a burden on the County's limited resources. To alleviate the strain on County services and to help promote within the region an acceptable living standard for working residents Ventura County is instituting a living wage policy as described herein.
