The board voted to rescind a prior action and appropriate 2000 to the Grand Jury to cover a budget deficit. Supervisor Sawyers approved reluctantly, calling for an audit of money flows and meetings, while Beltrami cited 34 indictments this year versus a normal six or seven.

Amendment clarifies agricultural preserve ordinance requirements
The board of supervisors added an amendment to the agricultural preserve ordinance clarifying filing and recording rules. It states no preserve contract may be recorded until rezoning becomes final, effectively delaying contracts until 30 days after signing by the board chair. Supervisor Al Barbero warned the change may disappoint applicants aiming for the March 1 lien date. The panel noted annual delays as applicants wait to file, with Sacramento not anticipated to extend the lien date this year. Jan 26 is set as the last planning commission meeting before the Jan 28 cut-off for consideration.
