San Bernardino County’s recently installed Third District supervisor, Dawn Rowe, has fleshed out her staff with seven people, but has yet to determine who will serve as her chief of staff.
Next week at its regular meeting on Tuesday, the board of supervisors will be asked to ratify Rowe’s hiring of Jim Miller as a beginning level field representative; Elaine Villa as slightly better paid beginning level field representative; Heather Perry as an extremely well-paid beginning level field representative; Claire Cozad as a handsomely paid policy advisor; Joshua Imeri-Garcia as a well-paid constituent services representative; Suzette Swallow as a well-paid communications advisor; and Dillon Lesovsky as a comparatively poorly-paid policy advisor.
The official title conferred upon Miller is to be field representative I. He will be paid an annual salary of $26,669, with benefits of $1,018 for a total annual compensation of $27,687.
