Green light to fill vacancy

Mono County Public Health Director, Lynda Salcido’s request to the Board of Supervisors to fill a vacancy in her department was approved without much fanfare.

The current Children’s Medical Service Director recently resigned. The total cost for the position is $125,784 ($75,000 for salary, $14,621 PERS and $36,163 for benefits) but it is funded by a combination of state and federal funds and has zero impact on the County’s General Fund, according to Salcido. The Board approved filling the vacancy with a 5-0 vote.
