Public Works Takes Over Road Committees?

     The first subdivision to start a road committee under the Public Works Department, was approved at Tuesdays Board of Supervisors meeting.

     The Indian Creek subdivision, which has 38 lots, but only 1 homeowner, asked to be placed in a county maintained Permanent Road Division. The Public Works department is not stupid.
The get to keep 15% of the road fees collected for administering the PRD.

   This subdivision's homeowners will pay $250 each a year to keep their roads maintained, even though they already pay taxes which in most areas includes maintenance of roads.

   An interesting comparison was made by Supervisor Spellman that Rancho Calaveras homeowners only pay $38 per year. According to Spellman, the CSA1 has not been able to use the million dollars in their fund because the county has borrowed against the money.

     Supervisor Callaway was angry that Spellman made this public, but we feel that the public has a right to know.  How many other loans do the Supervisors have that we are not usually told about?
