Creation of some form of a public safety district in 2006 will help close the expense/revenue gap <br /> of the county general fund and at the same time help sustain a rapidly deteriorating public safety <br /> system. This is a strategy that allows the organization to move forward in a time of fiscal stress. <br /> <br /> C. Alternatives/Optlon.~ <br /> <br /> 1. Move approval of the Board Order to direct more staff work on forming a public safety <br /> special district and initiating Metro Plan amendments in order to provide greater clarity in <br /> the formaton of a public safety special district consistent with the Metro Plan. <br /> <br /> 2. Do not approve the Board Order at this time. If the Board decides to pursue special <br /> district formation at later date, the timeline for putting the issue on a November 2006 ballot <br /> is shortened and compromises the timeframe for getting the necessary work completed. <br /> <br /> D. Recommendations <br /> Staff recommends Alternative 1, above, to move approval of the Board Order. <br /> <br /> E. Timine <br /> <br /> In order for a special district proposal to be placed on a November 2006 ballot, work <br /> needs to begin promptly following Board Order approval. <br /> <br /> IV.
