Background
On September 22, 2015 the Board of Supervisors approved the County’s response to the 2014/2015 El Dorado County Grand Jury Final report. The Grand Jury Final Report included a report entitled “Putting Political Gain Above What’s Right For The County.” In approving the County’s response, the Board requested that the Chief Administrative Office undertake a review of the long running Grassy Run Community Services District dissolution dispute, the Pioneer Fire Protection District dispute and any other disputed financial non-payments of amounts claimed owed by other persons or entities. The CAO’s office has undertaken the review requested by the Board. Attached is a memorandum discussing the CAO office’s review of these matters.
Action to be taken
1) Chair to sign the Budget Transfer and Board Clerk to forward to the Auditor-Controller for processing.
2) Chief Administrative Officer to prepare claim voucher payable to LAFCO in the amount of $5,000 and submit to the Auditor-Controller for processing.
3) Auditor-Controller to pay the claim to LAFCO in the amount of $5,000.
