Board gets schedule and detail request for flood zone finances; Zone 9 briefing set for July 15
Summary
County staff said they will return July 15 with a detailed Zone 9 budget and chart‑of‑accounts view; the update also noted $630,000 of planned operations and maintenance for timber‑reinforced berm work in Zone 7 and next steps for Zone 10 dissolution.
County staff updated the Board of Supervisors on flood zone budget follow‑ups on May 21 and told supervisors they will return with a detailed Zone 9 budget analysis on July 15.
Staff said Zone 9 follow‑up will include a chart‑of‑accounts review at the object and character level, a summary of maintenance and CIP expenditures since 2017, and an assessment of ongoing costs and available revenues to cover those costs. The presentation framed the July 15 update as a step to increase transparency on Zone 9 finances and maintenance needs.
Specific items noted in the presentation included: - Zone 7 planned operations and maintenance includes $630,000 for timber‑reinforced berm work. - Staff will be working with County Counsel on next steps for the dissolution of Zone 10.
Supervisors asked staff to include deferred pump maintenance and other specific maintenance liabilities in the forthcoming Zone 9 presentation; a supervisor noted community concerns raised in Larkspur about potential pump replacement costs and asked that staff integrate maintenance status into the July briefing.
Staff told the board they will also provide a breakdown showing salary and benefits, services and supplies, and capital project spending to clarify how Zone funds were spent.
Ending: The board directed staff to return on July 15 with the Zone 9 fee‑measure update and a more granular account‑level review of revenue and expenditures.
