Findings and Recommendations 4 findings
F1
The requests for revenue sharing come from a broad range of groups, many of which may be appropriate, but some requests appear to have questionable value to the majority of County taxpayers.
Related Recommendations (1)
R1
Supervisors should consider following the original intent of the Federal grant which was to benefit taxpayers through public projects since the money is from County General Funds.
F2
When the supervisor's name appears as an event sponsor, the general public could be misled into believing that the donation of General Fund money to the event is a personal gift from the supervisor.

R2
Recognition for the donation of County funds should note that the gift is from the Placer County Board of Supervisors on behalf of the taxpayers of Placer County and should not include the individual supervisor's name.
F3
The availability of Revenue Sharing Funds is not published in County materials.

R3
The County should publish the availability of the funds through written materials and the web site, describing who is eligible and how to apply for the funds.

There are no written guidelines for distributing the funds. Individual supervisors have developed their own criteria for approving requests, and basically have $20,000 per year to distribute at their discretion.
