The Special Committee on Finance on Tuesday approved a recommendation authorizing the County Supervisor to expend up to $1,000,000 from the General Fund fund balance for the design and construction of the Live Oak project. The committee’s sole agenda item passed by voice vote.

Later in the Special County Council meeting, Committee on Finance Chairwoman Amy Stern reported the committee recommendation and moved that the full council approve authorizing the County Supervisor to spend up to $1,000,000 from the General Fund for the Live Oak Complex project. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

What it means: The authorization permits the supervisor’s office to commit up to $1 million from county reserves toward design and construction work on the Live Oak project; specific procurement steps and project contracts were not discussed on the record during these segments and will follow county procurement rules.

Provenance: Committee recommendation (topic intro: SEG 556); full council approval (topic finish: SEG 606).
