Placer County Voters Face Measures H, G and Roseville Measure A on Nov. 3

Placer County voters will decide two ballot measures in the Nov. 3 general election that could change how the county's chief executive officer is removed from office and how Board of Supervisors vacancies are filled. Measure H would allow employment contracts between the Board and the CEO to establish removal procedures different from the existing three-vote requirement, while preserving board oversight. Roseville voters will separately consider Measure A, which would increase City Council salaries from $600 to $2,550 a month with annual inflation adjustments. All three measures amend local government charters and require a simple majority to pass.
