Impact fee debate renewed six-month program hiatus that began in October. The discussion was put on hold until the county could fill the Planning Director vacancy left by the former direc- tor’s retirement. During the pause, Corning Planning Director John Stoufer has contracted with the county to be a part-time planning director. Now, the program that could work toward fee implementation and further study is back on the table. During Tuesday’s meeting, Chief Administrator Bill Good- win represented the Facilities Planning Committee, a nine- member committee made up of county department heads that was formed to identify future facility needs. “Progress on this has kind of ebbed and flowed,” Goodwin said. The committee’s report to the board identified a timetable for potential fee adoption. The schedule sets tentative public information meetings for 2 found shot, dead the week of July 11. The earliest date for the supervisors to adopt development impact fees would be Oct. 4.

Jerry Brown’s proposal to solve the bud- get deficit through a mix of spending cuts and high- er taxes, but they want the state’s richest residents to bear the brunt of tax increases, according to a poll released Wednesday. The survey by the Pub- lic Policy Institute of Cal- ifornia found that 65 per- cent of likely voters are very concerned that pub- lic schools will suffer if deeper cuts are made to education to help close the state’s remaining $15.4 billion budget deficit. The institute found that 56 percent of likely voters favor a special election giving the electorate the right to decide key budget questions, while 61 per- cent support Brown’s plan to balance the budget through a mix of cuts and taxes. But that does not mean voters would endorse the Democratic governor’s proposal entirely. Brown wants to extend for five years increases to the personal income, sales and vehicle taxes. The tax increases are scheduled to expire this year, but renewing them would bring the state an addi- tional $9.2 billion a year. Two-thirds of likely voters surveyed said they oppose raising personal- income taxes to maintain current funding for schools, and nearly as many oppose higher sales taxes to pay for schools.
