Board approves parks master plan, small district allocations and personnel rating; several votes finalized
Summary
The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors adopted the county parks and recreation master plan and approved several consent and regular-agenda items including small district allocations and a personnel Y-rating. Votes were recorded on multiple items; staff will follow up on implementation steps.
The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors approved several items on the consent and regular agendas, including adoption of the county Parks and Recreation Master Plan, district-level community organization allocations, a personnel Y-rating, and a budget transfer for a septic repair at Mountain Ranch Community Park.
Parks and Recreation Master Plan: The board adopted the county’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan by unanimous vote. Judy Allen, chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, urged adoption and said the plan will help the county qualify for grants and expand programming. Supervisors praised commissioners’ long-term work and the motion passed 5–0.
District allocations: The board amended a district allocation to increase a payment to San Andreas Recreation and Park District from $225 to $300 to cover a final invoice and approved a $5,000 allocation to Bret Hart Union High School as listed on the agenda. The amendment and allocations were approved unanimously.
Personnel Y‑rating: Human Resources presented an item to apply a Y‑rating for a public works/business administrator position affected by a reorganization. Following discussion about potential budget constraints countywide, the board approved the Y‑rating by unanimous vote. Staff noted the action stems from reorganization and bumping rights in memoranda of understanding.
Mountain Ranch Community Park septic repair: The board approved a budget transfer to increase facilities appropriations by $12,550 and reduce parks and recreation contingencies by the same amount to fund replacement of a failing septic tank at Mountain Ranch Community Park. The board discussed the precedent of using district allocations for park maintenance versus centralized park budgets; members agreed the septic failure presented a health and safety issue. The transfer was approved 5–0; staff reported contractor quotes reduced earlier estimates.
Consent agenda: The remaining consent agenda items were approved collectively at the start of the meeting; the clerk announced the consent package passed 5–0.
What’s next: Staff will pursue grant opportunities tied to the Parks Master Plan, process the district allocation payments and contract for the septic repair, and continue implementing the personnel changes consistent with memoranda of understanding.
