Full summary
Mobile Home Park Closure and Conversion Ordinance
- Public comments were received from residents and representatives of manufactured housing organizations, including Rosalie Hallock, Bill Hines, Marie Pounders, and Ron Frost. Speakers cited the lack of a local ordinance in Santa Barbara County compared to neighboring jurisdictions, noting that 75 California mobile home parks have closed since 1998. They requested that the Board prioritize the drafting of a closure and conversion ordinance, arguing that current state laws provide insufficient protection for residents facing displacement. Staff, represented by Jeff Hunt, Director of Long-Range Planning, presented a report on the regulatory framework, clarifying that while state law governs conversions from rental to owner-occupied status, the county retains authority to regulate closures or conversions to other land uses. Staff noted that the Board’s previous direction limited the scope to closures, but discussed the feasibility of addressing both. Staff indicated that prioritizing this project immediately would require reallocating resources from other projects, such as the "Alcohol Related Uses" project, and estimated a timeline of one year for a full ordinance. Supervisor Farr moved to direct staff to proceed with the mobile home park closure and conversion ordinance as a high-priority project, potentially requiring the reallocation of resources. The motion was seconded. The Board voted to pass the motion, directing staff to prioritize the project and return with a recommendation on resource allocation.
Coastal Commission Nomination
- Public comments were received from Linda Kropp, Chief Counsel of the Environmental Defense Center, supporting Supervisor Wolf’s application, and Andy Caldwell, a representative from COLAP, who spoke in opposition, citing Supervisor Wolf’s stance on the Land Use Development Code (LUDC) and comments regarding board colleagues. Supervisor Wolf stated her commitment to her core beliefs and acknowledged disagreements with Supervisor Carbajal on land use issues. Supervisor Carbajal stated he could not support the nomination due to strong disagreements on land use and the Coastal Commission’s role. Supervisor Lavagnino expressed support for the nomination. The Board voted on the nomination of Supervisor Wolf to the Coastal Commission. The motion passed.
Cemetery Board Appointments
- Public comment was received from Phyllis Teagues, a former Santa Maria Cemetery Board member, who alleged discrimination regarding the termination of two female trustees and the subsequent appointment of men, resulting in an all-male board. She referenced the Guide to Public Cemetery Operation regarding four-year terms. The Chair addressed the comments, stating that the Board had more than a dozen female appointees and confirmed that the terms of the terminated trustees ended in December 2009. Regarding a potential conflict of interest involving a trustee employed by a mortuary business, the Chair stated that the County Council’s office opined that such a trustee may serve but cannot contract with the cemetery district and must recuse themselves from relevant votes. The County Council’s office offered to provide a presentation on conflict prevention, which is being scheduled.
Parks Department Ordinance Amendment
- Staff presented a proposed ordinance amendment to Chapter 26 of the County Code regarding county parks. The revisions included administrative cleanup of terminology, clarifications to safety regulations, new provisions for activities at Lake Cachuma, and deletion of an obsolete section regarding Lake Los Canarios. Specifically, the amendment would allow kayaking on Lake Cachuma, consistent with a Bureau of Reclamation resource management plan, and allow dogs on boats (though not in the water). Staff requested approval of the administrative agenda for a second hearing on March 15, 2011. Staff also announced the recent passing of Neal Taylor, a long-time figure at Lake Cachuma, and indicated a resolution would be brought to the Board to recognize his work. The Board approved the administrative agenda for the second hearing.
Redistricting Workshops
- Staff presented a report on redistricting workshops, proposing three community workshops (South Coast, Mid-County, North County) between May and June, utilizing county facilities. Staff proposed a budget of $25,000 (not to exceed), with the largest expenditure being $15,000 for GIS software that allows the public to draw boundaries and view population data. Staff noted that census data is due from the state by April 1st. Supervisor Farr suggested doubling the number of workshops to ensure adequate public input and emphasized the importance of having a single, consistent voice from the county during workshops. She requested that staff provide the census data numbers as soon as possible. Supervisor Wolf agreed that three workshops were insufficient and suggested doubling them, particularly in the South Coast and North County. She emphasized the need for a single staff team to conduct the workshops to ensure consistency and suggested starting the process earlier to allow for potential disputes with the state over census figures. The Board directed staff to consider increasing the number of workshops and to provide the census data as soon as it is available. A motion was made to approve the redistricting plan, with conditions including more workshops and an earlier board review date (April 12). The motion was seconded. The vote was taken, and the motion passed.
Budget and Financial Matters
- The Board discussed the county’s budget gap, noting a $72 million shortfall. Staff presented updated financial projections, indicating that while revenue shows a slight uptick, the primary driver of the gap is expenditures, specifically salaries, benefits, and retirement costs. Staff is currently prioritizing service levels to determine necessary reductions, focusing on Board priorities such as public safety, children, and livable communities. Staff emphasized that the current data is preliminary and that final budget proposals are expected in May or June. Staff advised against releasing preliminary cut lists to the public to avoid misinterpretation. Supervisor Wolf expressed concern about the use of one-time funds in previous years contributing to the current gap and advocated for avoiding a "kick-the-can" approach. Supervisor Farr proposed a motion to adopt the CEO’s recommended budget hearing schedule for June 13, 15, and 17, and to ensure that information regarding potential layoffs or cuts is shared with employee groups and the public as soon as possible. Supervisor Wolf supported the idea of sharing information but preferred a workshop format where the focus is strictly on the figures and methodology. The Board voted to pass the motion to adopt the budget hearing schedule and to direct staff to share information on potential cuts with employee groups and the public as soon as it is finalized.
Local Business Preferences
- Staff presented the annual report on the Local Vendor Outreach Program, which aims to increase purchases from local vendors while maintaining quality and price competitiveness. The program includes a 6% preference for local vendors. Staff reported that the county has exceeded the 60% local purchase threshold for the last two years and proposed raising the performance measure to 65% for the next fiscal year. Staff noted that while they attempt to capture all local purchases, some decentralized purchases under $1,000 may be difficult to track. Supervisor Lavagnino asked about local preferences for construction projects. Staff indicated that this could be addressed through workforce agreements requiring a certain percentage of the workforce to be local. A compromise was reached to target capital projects and ensure local workforce participation, with a report to be brought to the Board in April. Supervisor Lavagnino suggested that departments provide a simple quarterly or annual report detailing the percentage of supplies purchased from local businesses to increase accountability. The Board agreed to consider this suggestion.
CDBG/NOFA Process Update and Policy Recommendations
- Staff presented an update on the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process, noting that 45 applications totaling approximately $7.1 million were received. Staff recommended three policy items for Board approval: 1. Review Committee Structure: Utilize two review committees composed of community experts. One committee (the existing Affordable Housing Loan Committee) would oversee HOME and CDBG capital projects. A second committee, a subcommittee of the Human Services Commission, would oversee CDBG Public Services and ESG projects. 2. Application Ranking Protocol: Allow committees to rank projects against one another using established funding criteria. Staff proposed doubling the weight of "project readiness" to emphasize the need for rapid fund expenditure and to avoid federal rescission. 3. CDBG Capital Project Funding: Allow county-sponsored projects to compete alongside community-sponsored projects in the NOFA process, rather than segregating them. Staff noted that historically, 52% of CDBG funds have gone to county-sponsored projects and 48% to community projects. Staff requested direction to proceed with the NOFA process, return to the Board in April with the Draft Action Plan, and approve the three policy recommendations. A motion was made to approve the direct staff to proceed with the process and structure of the review committee as proposed, including the application of ranking protocol and CDBG capital project funding distribution as recommended. The motion was seconded. The vote was taken, and the motion passed.
Lompoc Fire Services Proposal
- Staff presented an updated proposal for the Santa Barbara County Fire Protection District to provide fire services to the City of Lompoc. The proposal, based on fiscal year 11-12 numbers, estimates a total cost of $4.9 million. This includes $4.25 million in costs to the city for staffing, overhead, and engine depreciation, plus an additional $672,000 in cost-sharing incurred by the district. The proposal includes paramedic staffing and a battalion chief position. Staff requested authorization for the County Executive Officer and Fire Chief to enter into negotiations with the City of Lompoc regarding the method of payment and transition issues, with any final agreement to be brought back to the Board for adoption. A speaker noted that if the Board chooses to send a proposal to the Lompoc City Council, it should include fully loaded costs without contribution from the fire district or general fund. Supervisor Wolf made a motion to not proceed with the request, citing a lack of interest and cost concerns. The motion was seconded. The Board discussed the potential cost and the desire to focus staff time on other issues, such as mobile home parks. The vote was taken, and the motion passed.
Subdivision Moratorium and Urgency Ordinance
- Staff discussed the legal requirements for an urgency ordinance under Government Code Section 65858, noting that a finding of a "current and immediate threat" to public health, safety, and welfare is required. Staff indicated that documentation and evidence would be necessary to support such a finding. Staff also provided an update on the Nolwood Village application, noting it was a subdivision application for a mobile home park that was decided by the Planning Commission on February 9th with no appeal.
Homeless Count and Warming Center Funding
- A speaker provided an update on the Common Ground Registry Week and Point-in-Time count, thanking various agencies and volunteers for their participation. The speaker noted successful efforts to secure additional funding for warming centers from municipalities, including a $3,000 mid-year budget correction and $10,000 from the Santa Barbara City Council. The speaker also mentioned plans to build support for a tobacco control program for homeless individuals.
Property Tax and Revenue Estimates
- The Treasurer-Tax Collector presented an overview of the property tax system, noting that taxes are distributed locally and that the state primarily backfills school districts. The presentation detailed the distribution of $611 million in taxes to various local entities. Revenue performance was reported as follows:
- Local County Retail Sales Tax: First-quarter collections were ahead of actuals and 3% ahead of the budget. A preliminary projection suggests a potential budget increase to $7.5 million for the next year (4% growth).
- Public Safety Retail Sales Tax: Collections were behind the budget estimate but positive compared to the prior year. A 4% growth rate was projected for the next year.
- Transient Occupancy Tax: Actual performance was 5.9%, with an estimated 6.8% for the current year ($800,000 over budget, a 13% increase). A 3% growth rate was projected for the next year. The speaker noted a loss of $1.4 million in this revenue source to Goleta under the Revenue Neutrality Agreement in one year.
- General Fund Property Tax Growth: The proposed budget included a conservative growth figure of $1,997,000,000 (2.3% over last year’s budget, or $3 million). The speaker suggested revisiting revenue estimates in May, potentially increasing the property tax growth assumption to 2% if inflation data supports it, which would add approximately $4 million to the proposed budget.
- Staff indicated they are monitoring these numbers in collaboration with the CEO and affected departments and plan to advise the board on revenue estimates after receiving April data and further information from the Assessor. Staff reported working with the Debt Advisory Committee on a report to reallocate bonds to reduce General Fund costs and ensure project quality, with a target presentation to the board around April 15. The County Clerk-Recorder-Assessor presented data on assessed value trends, noting that property tax accounts for 91% of discretionary revenues. The Assessor explained that assessed value increases are driven by CPI (capped at 2%), new construction, and property transfers. The current CPI index is 0.74. The Assessor noted that foreclosures have been steady and that the county is "bumping along the bottom" of the housing market cycle, with a realistic estimate of 1% to 1.5% growth in assessed value for the current year. No motions were made or votes taken in this section.
Budget Development Process and Economic Context
- Discussion centered on the $72 million budget shortfall, the utilization of the $3.9 million salary savings line item, and the status of the $25.5 million strategic reserve. Supervisor Carbajal moved to schedule a public meeting prior to the May budget revision to review departmental cut proposals and labor negotiation information, emphasizing transparency and public input. Supervisor Watt seconded the motion, suggesting the meeting be structured as a staff presentation to the Board. The Board discussed the timeline, noting that waiting until June would limit input opportunities before the June 30 budget deadline. Staff indicated that other municipalities are conducting similar workshops. The motion to receive and file the report on the budget development process and adopt the June budget schedule was passed.

- The Board considered the appointment of Raymundo Montes de Oca as the permanent Public Defender for Santa Barbara County, effective February 21, 2011.

Property Tax and Revenue Estimates (Continued)
- Staff presented a summary of revenue trends, noting a $3 million increase in general fund revenue and projected future growth.

- Revenue Caps: Staff highlighted emerging impacts of revenue caps on special revenue and intergovernmental funds, noting these may inhibit service levels in areas beyond social services and fire protection.
- Securities Payments: Staff discussed options for funding annual securities payments, exploring sources other than the general fund to reduce expenditure impact.

Recent activity included the approval of the Norwood Mobile Home Park conversion to owner-occupied status and the voluntary withdrawal of the Valley Gardens Project application.
- Regulatory Authority: Staff clarified that conversions from rental to owner-occupied status are fully regulated by state law, limiting local jurisdiction authority to ensuring compliance with state standards. However, the county retains authority to regulate the closure of mobile home parks or their conversion to entirely different land uses (e.g., commercial or industrial).
- Local Ordinance Options: Staff noted that while state law provides minimum standards for resident impact reports and relocation costs, local jurisdictions can adopt ordinances to define specific requirements for relocation proximity, duration of rent assistance, and permit procedures. Examples from other jurisdictions (Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo) were cited, including requirements for relocation within 20 miles and 24 months of increased rent coverage.
- Legal Precedent: Staff stated that local ordinances regulating rental-to-ownership conversions have been successfully challenged in court, whereas ordinances regulating closures or conversions to other land uses have generally been upheld.
