Consider staff's report and recommendation to continue the current allocation of Proposition 172 sales tax revenues to the Sheriff-Coroner and District Attorney. |
|
| |

Lisa Driscoll presented a brief summary of the Rodeo Hercules Fire Protection District's request for a portion of the County's allocation of Proposition 172 sales tax revenue. The Fire Chief spoke about the District's funding challenges and the future impact of the end of the SAFR grant. Bill Kelly, speaking on his own behalf, indicated that the District would be bankrupt by the middle of 2017. He said they were willing to take one-time money. Vince Wells spoke about the changes that had taken place since the Board of Supervisors original designation of Proposition 172 funds. Sheriff Livingston expressed his disappointment that he had not been informed that the District planned to ask for an allocation of the Sheriff's portion of 172 funds. He said that the funds were limited. If funds were taken from him for Fire it would mean the loss of deputies. Mark Peterson indicated that he had not heard from the District either. He said that the Prop 172 funds were one of the largest sources of revenues that supported his department. Mark asked if a Public Safety Sales Tax might be a solution to the funding problem. Supervisor Glover asked the Chief to meet with the County Administrator to explore possible solutions. Supervisor Piepho asked about Redevelopment losses and repayment. David Twa pointed out that the District was asking for one-time money without a plan for the future. Supervisor Glover and Supervisor Piepho agreed that there must be a plan for going forward. The Supervisors asked the County Administrator to work with the District and recommended that the District ask the cities to participate. If the cities participated, the County might be able to do so as well - similar to the East County Fire model. |
