Callinan, in a Jan. 15 letter to the board seeking reappointment wrote, “I take this job seriously and my attendance at the meetings reflect the same. I am very principled and dedicated to my position as a commissioner, and have a strong commitment to personal values.

In other action the board:
Passed a resolution supporting legislation to permanently extend the 2-percent cap on interest arbitration awards. The law, due to expire April 1, is used for negotiating police and fire contract disputes. It limits annual basis increases of base salary items to no more than 2 percent. One of its supporting statements noted it is “essential that local government continue to be relieved of the burden of funding excessive bargaining agreement awards which drive local, state and county budgets and taxes, generating an unacceptable fiscal burden on taxpayers.”
