Lassen County Board of Supervisors - JULY 18, 2006

ELECTION DIVISION

Supervisor Hanson notes that West Patton Village CSD (WPVCSD) Board Member Arnold Young wishes to discuss the resolution requesting consolidation of election for special tax.

Arnold Young reads from a letter relating to the county assisting with the establishment of a fire district and states now the CSD is faced with attorney fees and pending election costs. The water and sewer fees collected by the CSD cannot be spent on any of these items. States they will be looking to the Board for financial support. Provides information on grants and USDA loans they will be looking into. Notes the special tax will not be permanent - when development provides adequate funding the tax will decrease. He feels this is very important information to be used in support of the tax election.

Supervisor Hanson recognizes Arnold Young for all the contributions that he has made to the Herlong Community.

It is moved by Supervisor Hanson, seconded by Supervisor Keefer and carried to grant request from West Patton Village Community Services District to consolidate a special election to be held on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, with the statewide general election authorizing and imposing a special tax against real property for the purpose of providing fire suppression, prevention and emergency medical services and approving an increase in the District's spending limit.
