Information

Referral History:

The RAMP program, adopted by the Board of Supervisors in August 2009, recommended an annual report on the program with measurable goals as a way to track progress on implementing the RAMP objectives. Some of the objectives were very ambitious. The RAMP program was developed and approved in a time of more robust budgets and included several objectives that make sense to review and modify to reflect today’s fiscal realities. The County Administrator and Public Works Director concluded a review of the RAMP objectives and actions and developed a more realistic approach for some of the more ambitious objectives. The resulting report included modifications to some RAMP objectives that are consistent with a recent Grand Jury report (number 1203) concerning the deferred maintenance of various County owned buildings. The report and policy changes were adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 16, 2012.

Referral Update:
