In a 5-0 vote, [Carpenteria] City Council members voted to approve a letter in response to the 2017-2018 Santa Barbara County Grand Jury report on pensions in the County. The report “Pensions in Santa Barbara County” includes 12 findings and two recommendations and asks each of the nine local government agencies in Santa Barbara County to respond to these findings.
Because of forethought in decisions made in the past, Carpinteria is in a better position than many other cities and municipalities in the area. In the response letter drafted by City staff, the City responded to each of the findings and recommendations. With unanimous approval, Mayor Shaw also commented on the City’s previous decision-making process with regard to City pensions stating, “I think we’ve done a really good job and the cost to us going forward is going to be considerably less than a lot of other communities.”
