Supervisors Delay Action on County Service Area Plan
County supervisors postponed further action on forming a County Service Area to fund sheriff patrols as cities request more time. LAFCO proposed a tax shift of over 2 million dollars from city taxpayers to unincorporated county residents to cover roughly 4 million in patrol costs. Local groups argue additional tax inequities exist and urge a study of South Coast flood zones and separate zoning for Goleta Santa Barbara Carpinteria and Summerland-Montecito areas.
