Chamber function sparks debate at Mendocino budget hearing
Supervisors opened final budget hearings amid debate over whether Mendocino County should be promoted by the Chamber of Commerce or private enterprise. A $52,586 exploitation and promotion budget passed 3-2, with Burgess Williams and Jim Eddie dissenting. The panel heard proposals for informational programs from Tony Siciliani and Rick Billings. Budget changes included cuts to timber appraiser positions, a new auditor slot, and a public defender budget increase to 86,600 for new contracts. The social services program remains the largest spend, fueled by federal and state funds.
