That the county, cities, and other entities benefitting from the services provided by the Santa Barbara County 2-1-1 Helpline Program contribute funding in proportionate amounts as proposed by county staff in its December 2013 recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Response: Partially agree as the City has not seen any December 2013 recommendations. However, the City of Buellton is willing to consider paying a pro rata share of the cost based on the number of Buellton residents using the service.
