Dear Mr. Claudy:
Attached is a letter directed by the Town of Los Gatos Planning Commission
to the County Board of Supervisors expressing concern about a proposal from
the County Environmental Management Agency to cut the County Planning
Department staff 70%.
As members of the County Planning Commission, we realize the budget problems
the County faces and that the same problems confront all our cities. However,
we feel this proposal goes beyond prudence. Since the passage of Proposition 13
three years ago, the County Planning Department has cut its staff over 40%.
To cut the remaining.staff 70% is too much.
• The-proposed cut will make it impossible for the County to provide the data
and technical back up services to city planning programs and will make even
more difficult the coordination of programs and policies between the cities
and the County, a process which is rarely easy.
The Board has scheduled Monday, June 22, to begin hearings on the County
budget proposals. Your Commission may wish to send a letter to the Board
urging a more reasonable approach to the Planning budget.
Very truly yours,
Nancy Alexander Peg Muscato Robert Escobar
