Board seeks public input on tax reform plan
Ukiah and Fort Bragg meetings will be scheduled to gather citizen views on tax reform. The board of supervisors, after receiving protest letters, asked County Administrator Al Beltrami to arrange sessions and invite State Sen. Behr and Assemblyman Keene. They noted property owners have grievances with taxing formulas while directing attention to school districts, cities, and special districts that make up over half the tax bill. Tea Bags for Taxes has spread countywide, with about 175 bags received so far, and residents urged action at the state level amid three constitutional amendments pending in the legislature to shift or equalize burdens.

County okays reduced CDC board powers and duties
County supervisors move to cut the Community Development Commission from 15 to nine members while clarifying its powers. The amended ordinance would authorize the CDC to administer HUD funded Section 8 and 23 housing programs, and position it with redevelopment agency powers as it oversees two housing programs and $610,000 in federal funds. Fort Bragg appointee Jack Azevedo resigns citing HUD regulations and a call to remove the CDC steering committee. Additional discussion set for next meeting.
