County rep: 5% of Ladera Ranch property taxes go to county; residents press for clarity on dump expansion
Summary
Robby, speaking for Supervisor Foley, told the LRCC that about 5% of Ladera Ranch property taxes are allocated to the county, announced local town halls, said a crossing guard will be added at Meandering Trail, and said the office is investigating resident concerns about a proposed doubling of a nearby dump’s capacity.
Robby, representing Orange County Supervisor Foley, told the Ladera Ranch Civic Council on March 17 that roughly 5 percent of Ladera Ranch property-tax collections go to the county.
Robby also said sheriff expenses were cited at about $6 million in the county handout he provided, and he encouraged residents with further questions to follow up with the county CEO’s office.
He announced two upcoming community meetings: an E‑Bike Safety Town Hall at Ladera Ranch Middle School on April 6 from 3 to 5 p.m., and a Senior Support Town Hall at the RMV Guest House on March 26 at 2 p.m.
On local infrastructure, Robby said the county is planning Las Flores ramp improvements and will add a crossing guard at Meandering Trail. A resident raised concern about a proposal to double the capacity of a nearby landfill/dump close to SJHHS; Robby said the proposal had been presented without prior briefing to the supervisor’s office and that staff is looking into the matter.
Why it matters: property‑tax allocations affect local services and sheriff staffing; the resident concern about expanding dump capacity near a health system site prompted the county representative to investigate, signaling potential environmental and land‑use implications that may return to public debate.
The council adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
