BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Supervisor Marenco expressed his concerns and raised several questions with respect to a memorandum recently received by Board Members from Community Development Director, Ben Hulse, regarding the North West Tracy Old River Specific Plan. The County Administrator indicated the he would meet with Mr. Hulse and report back to the Board on April 16, 2002 to address the issues raised.
Supervisor Gutierrez shared his serious concerns in learning of the recent hiring of a director for the Mary Graham Children’s Shelter prior to the unresolved issues that needed to be addressed and reviewed by the Board. Supervisor Gutierrez further stated that he has requested the County Administrator, with assistance of County Counsel, to furnish information to the Board with respect to its authority in overseeing the management of the shelter. Supervisor Gutierrez hoped that two weeks would be ample time for the matter to be brought back to the Board.
Chairman Mow and Supervisor Marenco also expressed concerns regarding this matter.
Chairman Mow gladly reported that as a result of the citizens of our community "fronting the monies" for the SJAFCA, the flood control agency has received a check for $7 million from the Army Corps of Engineers. Chairman Mow indicated that to his knowledge these monies would be reimbursed to the citizens who helped pay for this funding.
