Roughly 51.9 percent of voters (24,650 total) voted “yes” on Measure M, while 48.1 percent (22,833 total) voted “no.” A simple majority was required.
Based on most recent figures, this would mean El Camino Hospital executives could earn no more than roughly $330,000 (Gov. Jerry Brown’s more recent base salary is $165,000, lower than the $174,000 a year before.)
Measure M became a possibility over the past year when El Camino Hospital hired Tomi Ryba as CEO. Her annual base salary is $695,000, and she could earn performance bonuses up to 30 percent of that base figure. The Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West gathered thousands of signatures to put the issue on yesterday’s ballot during a labor dispute with the hospital.
