Reason for Recommendation
The Ramona L. Gilmore Trust, established by Ramona L.

This action was not directly undertaken due to the adverse housing market trends, however, conditions are now satisfactory for preservation of the testator's intent.
This action by the Board of Supervisors is intended to exercise the beneficial interests in the trust properties as of the date of Ramona L. Gilmore's death, April 16, 2008 in order to fulfill the purpose of the Ramona L. Gilmore Revocable Trust. (Acceptance of the offer of $125,000 from the Ramona L. Gilmore Trust by Board action on January 7, 2014. Acceptance of the beneficial interest in the Ramona L. Gilmore Trust, effective April 16, 2008, by Board action on July 22, 2014.).
