Brown, Chairman Carroll M. Mercer, Member Clerk of the Board: Engineer: Secretary: Betty J. Anderson, Auditor Milt Sanstrom, P.E. Jerdine C. Bragg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- M I NUT E S ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week of July 13, 1981 10:00 a.m. The meeting was called to order by Chairman B.G. Brown with all members present. Hearing: Application for Franchise; Discovery Bay & Associates: Ronald Johnson, Clark & Associates, appeared for the applicant. Dave Goldsmith reviewed the facts concerning this application. Chairman Brown invited com- ment from the floor. There was no response. Therefore, the hearing was closed and Commissioner O'Meara made a motion to approve the application and sign Resolution No. 69-81 granting the non-exclusive franchise. Commissioner Mercer seconded the motion. Unanimous. Hearing: RID #1 (Griffith's Point) Assessment Rolls: Chairman Brown reported that this hearing was necessary in order to satisfy the legal requirements, since the original meeting, early in the formation of this RID, was not properly advertised as a hearing. At the earlier meeting, three methods of assessment were considered and the majority felt that the method of assessing costs per legally described parcel of land would be most fair. Therefore, this method was used in preparing the assessment roll, even though it was necessary to have the hearing this date to legalize the decision made at the earlier meeting. Fifteen people attended this hearing and six letters regarding the assessment were received. In each case, the protest was that owners of more than one legally described parcel of land were being assessed more than owners of only one legally described parcel. Those protesting felt that the assessment should be divided equally by the number of property owners rather than by the number of parcels of land. There was considerable discussion regarding this matter. The hearing was closed and Chairman Brown informed those present that all testimony and letters would be considered further and, if any change in assessment method was made, all property owners would be notified. Approval of Minutes: Commissioner Mercer made a motion, seconded by Commissioner O'Meara, to approve and sign the minutes for the week of 7/6/81. Unanimous. Meeting with Teamster Representatives: The Board met with two repre- sentatives to clarify an item in the Public Works Personnel Policy. The Board recessed, and reconvened on Tuesday, 7/14/81, to continue regular business with all members present. County Building InsUrance: Bill Lutterloh, Insurance Company of North America, met with the Board and Homer Smith to discuss the discrepancies ~n assessed value and insurance coverage on several County buildings per the assessment and report by the insurance carrier. During the discussion, Chairman Brown indicated that some of the garage and shop buildings in question which are wood with shake roofs would be replaced, in the event they were destroyed, with less expensive metal buildings. Further discussion regarded the safety measures recommended for several County buildings. Chair- man Brown stated that the County would be willing to comply with some of the recommendations, but some of them would be impossible to accomplish while maintaining the courthouse as a historical site. In response to Chairman Brown, Mr. Lutterloh stated that INA would like to have a response from the [VOL 7 fACE r O. 2205 '- "'. ....
