Supplemental

Consent Item: #30 - Supervisor Sieglock expressed his concern about approving this item until he knows what the State is going to do with their budget. The County Administrator assured the Board that even though there are a number of people in these classification study requests that would be effected, it is not the intent of the CAO office to fill these positions until the State budget is known.

Supervisor Gutierrez also indicated similar concerns but stated that he would support the study to go forward, and that he anticipates staff to come back and inform the Board on how the results of the classification studies will be addressed.

Chairman Mow shared the same concern and for the record stated that this item was a supplemental agenda item.

Consent Item : #9 - Continued to 8/20/02

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Gutierrez in referring to an earlier discussion regarding the adult boutique store being constructed on West Lane, inquired as to what authority does the Board have in amending an ordinance in order to ensure that the public process has been followed to the fullest extent in order to prevent the current situation from reoccurring in the future.

Chairman Mow pointed out from his experience with the City of Stockton that in cases of an adult bookstore or alcohol, a public hearing process is required prior to a use permit being issued. However, in land use issues, if the business is appropriate with the zoning category, then often noticing is not required. In exploring options, Chairman Mow said one of the questions is "how do you un-ring the bell when the bell has been rung."

County Counsel stated that in some areas the Board has the authority to set up its own rules and regulations with respect to notice and public hearings, including what the extent of the public hearing will be. In other areas, the Board is pre-empted by state law when it is a matter of statewide interest. County Counsel also added that there are even cases, depending on what the issue is, that may be affected by both local and state rules and regulations.

Supervisor Sieglock asked that the County Administrator furnish the Community Development Director with copies of ordinances from the City of Lodi and the City of Erie, Pennsylvania that were distributed to the Board under Public Comment by Ken Owen and Steve Messinger.

Supervisor Mow commended the EEDD Summer Youth Theater Arts production of Cinderella for the honor of being selected to perform in Anaheim for the U.S. Department of Labor Council, and to be used as a model for the program throughout the United States.
