Findings and Recommendations 5 findings
F1
(Unused land holdings): The county owns several unused parcels of land that, if sold, could generate income. The parcels range in value from $500 to nearly $500,000. One parcel could be worth as much as $2,500,000 after adequate access, easement, zoning, etc. Appraisals are now underway to assess the current worth of these parcels and their potential best value after re-zoning.
No recommendations for this finding
F2
(Motor pool): The county has a number of vehicles, but most of them are old, with high mileage. The CAO doesn't enforce the use of these motor pool vehicles, as their reliability is questionable. He does require car pooling if there is a conference to be attended, thereby minimizing the number of private cars needed for the trip. Even though the motor pool vehicles are under-utilized, the county is still responsible for their insurance, registration, maintenance, etc. All county vehicles are now being re- evaluated; some will go to auction, some will be refurbished.
No recommendations for this finding
F3
("Discretionary" versus "mandated" expenditure): Each department has mandated responsibilities, but they all have administrative discretion on how to allocate resources to meet their mandates.
No recommendations for this finding
F4
(potential savings by out-sourcing services): The Board of Supervisors has directed each department to look for better ways to do things and save money. At the same time, we are also responsible to our employees as well as to the "bottom line" of county finances.
No recommendations for this finding
F5
(Role-models): Mr. Layton and his staff have been looking at other counties as models. Some have really good systems, which he is trying to implement in our own County Plan. CONCLUSION: After only two and a half months working as Trinity County Administrative Officer, Mr. Layton seems well informed about Trinity County, its constituent departments and key administrators.
