Today, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors will discuss potential changes to the county’s living wage ordinance. The county’s current living wage is 17 dollars, 65 cents per hour after going up two-point-two-percent in July. Today, the board will vote on exempting emergency contracts from the policy, applying the policy to businesses renting facilities or providing concession services to the county or on county grounds, and on requiring 12 days of paid time off for employees. The majority of the board voiced support for those changes in June. Sonoma County has had a living wage ordinance since 2016.
