3. AB # 18,165 - SAN DIEGO COUNTY VECTOR CONTROL PROGRAM BALLOT
FORMS.
Council Member Packard expressed opposition to the amount of the increase, and
stated that he would like to see justification for the increase. He stated that he would
propose that staff be directed to vote in opposition to the increase.
City Attorney Ball noted that the ballots must be cast by Wednesday, June 22, 2005.
In response to Council inquiry, Public Works Director Lloyd Hubbs explained the
proposal to increase the assessment per property, from $3.00 to $1 1.55, would be an
increase of $2,500 to the City for city-owned properties.
Mr. Hubbs introduced Mr. Jack Miller, of the San Diego County Vector Control, who
presented a Power Point presentation (not on file in the City Clerk’s Office). Mr. Miller
explained that the County’s program is the only one that controls and monitors
mosquitos and other disease-carrying insects and rodents in San Diego County. He
also noted that Vector Control has spent extra funds to provide increased protection to
the public, animals, and wildlife from West Nile virus and hantavirus.
Mr. Miller stated that the assessment cost was set in 1989, and the passage of
Proposition 218, in 1996, caused the costs to remain at the existing level. He explained
that since that time inflation and service needs have caused program costs to exceed
available revenues resulting in a rapid decrease in the trust fund established to fund
these services. Mr. Miller also explained that the ballots must be cast by the following
day, June 22, 2005, and that the results would be certified by the Board of Supervisors
at their meeting of July 13, 2005.
ACTION: On a motion by Council Member Packard, Council directed that the
Public Works Director act as signature authority for the City of
Carlsbad to cast ballots in opposition to the proposed assessments
for mosquito, vector, and disease control services as presented by
the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health Vector
Control, for Carlsbad owned property.
AYES: Lewis and Packard. - NOES: Hall, Kulchin, and Sigafoose
(The motion failed due to lack of a majority.)
