Clerk’s notes: Supervisor Brown presented the item to the Board. There was concern surrounding the cost of staff time, however, it was the understanding of County Counsel Anita Grant that Auditor-Controller Cathy Saderlund had factored in administrative costs in her fiscal analysis. Ms. Grant also clarified that the Elections department would not be handling the proposed benefit zone, as it is not a typical Election, therefore it does not carry the same cost as a regular election going on a formalized County ballot. Supervisor Brown stated that funds generated by this ballot, should it pass, would not be utilized to abate government agency (County, Federal or State) owned properties. And while Code Enforcement will be involved, volunteers will be working with the fire department to identify priority lots of those 4,500 lots within the benefit zone. Chair Scott asked if anyone present wished to speak and the following people spoke: Bill Groody, Julie Richardson, and Tom Nixon. No one else wished to speak and the public input portion of this item was closed.
