Lori Sassoon, Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services gave the PowerPoint
Presentation (copy on file) and lead the discussion. In response to Commissioner
Oaxaca, she clarified that currently there are several different types of districts, all within
the same boundary. She said this series of actions would dissolve the old districts and 8
new districts would be formed that are independent of each other. In response to Vice
Chairman Fletcher, she clarified that with the cut backs in services, the current yearly
gap is 1.2 million but the real deficit would be 3 million per year if services were fully
restored. She said as a general rule of thumb, the cost per household may be around
$100 more per year. In response to Chairman Howdyshell, she said the City maintains
the 9,000 lighting fixtures around town but they are owned by Edison, the taxpayer pays
the bit for the maintenance. She noted that the approval actions would have.to be
supported by the community.
