How would you expect to be better served by combining the offices of the Treasurer-Tax Collector and the Auditor-Controller?
I would suggest that the two agencies be cross trained to help cover back-up for each other. Then maintain separate offices.
What improvements would you like to see made in our permitting process?
It has been several years since I used planning. My response is based on that time. My chief improvement would be to have EVERYTHING that needs to be done included in one packet either online or as a handout. My horrible experience was that every time I had to visit Planning, either the planner wasn't there for my appointment or I was given yet another hurdle/hoop to jump through that I had no previous knowledge. I was extremely fearful to bring this up as it seemed that I would have negative repercussions such as no sign-offs on final aspects. Planners seem to have no deep knowledge of how to guide an inexperienced builder through the maze of permits and how to do it. So create a rock solid flowchart that can be used as a primer for the least of us.
If a local excise tax is passed on the cultivation of medical marijuana, what are your priorities for those funds?
Improve our ingress/egress via sea and air. Relocate the main airport to Rohnerville because of better weather. Improve the harbor depth. Instigate commercial sized hovercrafts for sea transport to San Francisco and Seattle.
