San Andreas, CA — Four elected officials in Calaveras County received a nice holiday present in the way of a raise Monday.

The assessor, auditor, clerk and tax collector share identical salaries.

Monday the Board of Supervisors agreed to a 6.25 percent pay raise for the group.

Human Resources Director Francine Osborn says the boost was based on a salary survey of comparable counties.

Supervisor Steve Wilensky voted against the action.

The increase is expected to cost the county close to $23,000.
