Hey Folks,

This was an alert sent out by Jon Barton of the South Coast Development Council.
Here is a link of their Board Members.
http://scdcinc.org/scdc-board-members.htm
Take a look at the end of this URGENT message he signs "Concerned Citizen-Unaffiliated" Yeah Right!
Jon Barton supports a County Administrator, because it will streamline the process of funneling money from
the Taxpayer to wealthy developers.   This Administrator will work with the City Managers to utilize the money in Urban Renewal as the mechanism for this money transfer.

URGENT!
  
Events  in local politics take strange turns.As most of you know Americans for Responsive, Responsible, Representative  Government (ARRRG) are soliciting signatures to put a costly and crippling Home  Rule measure on the ballot in November and they will likely be  successful.If adopted, the measure would add two full pay  and benefits commissioners, make the Human Resources Director an elected  position (no particular qualifications required),
require providing tens,  perhaps hundreds of thousands of hard copies of all documents used in the  commission meetings to the public at no charge.It gets  worse.Virtually any sale, purchase or contract with  consideration in excess of $100 thousand($50,000 for  personal property transactions) would require a vote of the people with the a 
minimum of 90-day notice and a number of votes that meets or exceeds that by  which this Charter was originally passed (in a presidential election year where  turnout is extraordinarily high).There’s more but this  should be
sufficient to give you an idea as to just how bad this measure could  be for any county, let alone our own.

 On the  other hand, the Board of Commissioners have crafted a far more sensible measure  that will ask
the voters in November to approve an expansion of the Board of  Commissioner from 3 to 5 and paid only a stipend or expense allowance of $1,000  per month and hiring a County Administrator to manage to day to day activities  of the
county.This would allow the commissioners to do what  they are supposed to do which is to establish policy, provide fiscal and  functional oversight and seeing that the interests of county citizens are well  protected.The cost of this proposal is at worst, neutral and  at best, could save the county the cost of the administrator many times over and 
still provide higher quality service to county citizens.The  model would be much the same as almost every other governmental agency and  virtually every private sector enterprise.The ordinance can  be accessed at
Proposed  Governance/Structure Ordinance.


To put the BOC’s measure on the ballot requires the board adopting an  ordinance.To adopt an ordinance, there must be to ordinance  hearings wherein the public can give input.The first is  tomorrow, August 1st at 1:30PM in the Salmon Room at the Mill  Casino.The second will be held in Coquille on August  15th; at 9 a.m.Click here for the
Meeting notice 
 

Every one of us has a responsibility to make our views  known.  I urge you to attend these meetings and let your voice  be heard.Do not let a handful of radicals hijack our  county.Come to the meetings and tell the commissioners what  you want and what you don’t want.Numbers  matter.Show this Astroturf organization Coos County  means
business and will not sit idly by and let the radical fringe take over.

Keep informed.See you at the meeting tomorrow at  1:30PM, and again on the 15th.
