At the Board's March 17, 2009 meeting the information provided with the District Attorney's request was not sufficient for the Board to make a determination at that time. The Chief Administrative Office has received additional information (Attachments 3.B1 & 2 DA) and requests the Board consider approving the list of 14 take-home vehicles for the District Attorney's office.
Background: The initial permanent assignment and overnight retention of County-owned vehicles was approved by the Board of Supervisors at their regular meeting of March 17, 2009 (Item #13) with the exception of the District Attorney's office.
