RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Direct Staff to produce a financial analysis of revenue and expenses per Supervisorial District.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
None.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The requested report is necessary to ensure the equitable allocation of funds across the county. This effort is justified by the need to transparently and fairly distribute resources, addressing disparities and meeting the unique needs of each district. Such an analysis would provide valuable insights into the fiscal dynamics at play within the county, helping to identify any imbalances in funding distribution. By examining the revenue generated and expenses incurred in each district, the county can make informed decisions to rectify inequalities, thus fostering a sense of fairness among residents and ensuring that all areas have adequate support for public services and infrastructure. This approach not only promotes fiscal responsibility but also strengthens community trust in local governance by demonstrating a commitment to equity and the well-being of all citizens, regardless of where they live within the county.
The cost in generating a report, to the best of our ability, is less than the cost of responding to Public Record Act requests for foundational data.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Provide alternate direction to staff.
