| Without much discussion and on a 4-0 vote with Supervisor Janet Bibby absent the Mariposa County Board of
Supervisors adopted a resolution accepting the Administrative Law Judge's proposed decision to deny former Fire Chief Blaine
Shultz's industrial disability retirement application. Supervisor Brad Aborn mentioned that he can go forward with this with a
clear conscience. Mr. Shultz was claiming that when he fell in 2004 while at a fire that the fall qualified for a disability
retirement. The BOS approved a one year lease agreement with Ralph Swenson for the Greeley Hill Sheriff Substation One for $800.00 a month. The BOS approved the Public Works Director to Close Broadway Street in Coulterville from Cemetery Road to Park Lane on October 18, 2008 from 10:00AM to 5:00 PM for a soap box derby. The BOS approved budget action accepting unanticipated revenues of $3,675 due to an increase of Pesticide Mill Assessment Subvention funds. Every pesticide container that is sold has a portion of it's price on it that ends up in Sacramento and they give money back to the counties. This money was in addition to the $60,000 that the county had already anticipated. |
As the county tries to create an ordinance creating "Landscape and Sidewalk Requirements" to the county code,
it was put off again until June 10, 2008. This code will say who has to maintain the sidewalks in the county with new construction, either the property owner or the county depending upon who does the construction. The Horse and Pedestrian Trails in Lake Don Pedro was discussed on what to do about encroachments by the property owners on the trail. Over 100 property encroachments have been identified ranging from minor (Wire fences) to major (Where a building is on the trail). The County will work with a committee on the trail to see what can be done. Public Works Director Dana Hertfelder, mentioned that it is time consuming to take action on every encroachment. Some areas of the 30 foot wide easement also could possibly be made narrower. If the encroachment is minor, the property owner will just have to get an encroachment permit. More substantial encroachments would have to be relocated and legal action could also be taken against the property owner. Dana mentioned that it will be up to the property owner to decide how to mitigate the problem. Also that the trails are valuable to the horse owners and not valuable to the property owners who do not have horses. On a 4-0 vote the BOS adopted a policy regarding encroachments on these trails. |
