Assessor's office to form team under proposed resolution to audit pilot recipients
Summary
An assessor‑led team would collate records to test whether companies and projects receiving 'pilots' delivered promised jobs or housing; the committee asked staff to refine a resolution and return it to the full commission in January.
Javier Bailey (first introduced in the transcript as Javier Bailey) said he drafted a resolution that, if adopted by the commission, would authorize an ad hoc body with subpoena power to collect records from pilot recipients and test whether tax incentives yielded promised outcomes. "We will form a team that will begin collating and acquiring all the documents," Bailey said, describing how the assessor's office would lead the effort.
Bailey said the review would examine numbers of jobs and whether recipients met performance standards in their grant or pilot agreements. The committee directed staff to add language to make the assessor's team an arm of the ad hoc body and to prepare the draft for the full commission meeting in January. No formal vote was taken; the resolution remains under development.
