Authorize the Executive Director to cast an affirmative vote on ballots
received for Community Redevelopment Agency -owned properties related to
the Orange County Vector Control District's Mosquito, Fire Ant and
Disease Control Assessment District.
DISCUSSION
The Orange County Vector Control District, which was formed in 1947, is
responsible for protecting public health by controlling rats, flies,
mosquitoes, red fire ants and other vector - related problems. The
District has proposed a Countywide assessment on all property to provide
funding to continue the red fire ant program, improve mosquito control,
establish the West Nile Virus Disease Program, and monitor and test for
disease.
Under the provisions of Proposition 218, any publicly owned property must
be assessed when it receives a benefit from a proposed assessment
district. Therefore, the Agency will receive a ballot as a property
owner in the district. Recognizing the need to continue the program to
eradicate the red fire ant and to monitor and test for diseases
transmitted by mosquitoes, staff recommends that the Agency authorize the
Executive Director to cast the ballots in favor of the assessment.
