Board ratifies tolling agreement with districts in Scott Farm matter
Summary
The board unanimously ratified an amended tolling agreement that removes a passed deadline and protects the interests of local districts in ongoing Scott Farm litigation or negotiations, county staff said.
The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors unanimously ratified a tolling agreement on March 11 with affected districts tied to the Scott Farm matter, county staff said.
A staff member told the board, “This is the same tolling agreement basically as what was the board initially approved… the only modification is it removed a date certain which has now passed,” adding the extension “protects especially the interests of the districts out of this Scott Farm matter.”
The motion to ratify the amended tolling agreement passed with no recorded opposition. The board did not discuss new financial terms during the open meeting; staff said the agreement’s purpose is to preserve existing claims and negotiation positions while deadlines in prior agreements had passed.
The transcript records the action as a ratification of a previously approved agreement with a narrow change to remove a now‑expired date; staff indicated negotiations and legal protections continue under the amended tolling schedule.
