A moment of silence was held.
PRESENT: SUPERVISORS BEDFORD, SIEGLOCK, GUTIERREZ, MARENCO, MOW
Consent Items: #23, 25, 27 & 31 - Pulled for discussion.
Consent Item: #23 – Supervisor Marenco asked for a clarification regarding the
figures outlined in the staff report and Chairman Mow asked if
this was to address the affordable housing needs in this county,
and to see which community does not meet those requirements.
The Community Development Director clarified the statistics and
indicated that this information would be given to each of cities in the county. Each of the cities will have to produce a revised housing
element for the General Plan that has to be submitted to HCD by
2003.
Consent Item: #25 – Supervisor Marenco stated that fees for the Asparagus
Festival to be held at Oak Grove Park should be paid prior to
going into negotiations. He also expressed his concern in the
cleanup after the event and indicated that there should be a penalty
fee assessed if the deadline is not met. The Facilities Management
Director stated that there was a penalty assessed this year as the
deadline for cleanup was not met.
Chairman Mow stated that he concurred with Supervisor Marenco
and that there needs to be full recovery from damages that are done
to the park. He also felt that the Oak Grove Nature Center should receive monies from the profits of the Asparagus Festival and that this should be a condition of the contract.
Supervisor Gutierrez asked the Facilities Management Director if the
Oak Grove Nature center received any funds that are generated from the Asparagus Festival and he said no. Supervisor Gutierrez felt that the nature center could use the funds.
Consent Item: #31 – Supervisor Marenco brought to the attention of staff a driveway
off Mountain Road owned by a farmer who has only one entrance and
one exit to his property. The Mountain House Community Services
