He said that, as a <br /> citizen, he does not feel any more educated than he was when this was discussed in <br /> December. <br /> Animal Services Director Bob Marotto said that staff has followed the timetable that <br /> accompanied the abstract for adoption of the changed fees and times. This was a timetable <br /> regarding public relations and included some activities that have already occurred (i.e., display <br /> ad in the News of Orange and Orange Extra, flyers in different locations, media advisories, <br /> etc.). There is still a two-month period before the actual implementation, and education will <br /> continue. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked about public service ads and Bob Marotto said that he would <br /> explore this and that there would still be media advisories. Chair Jacobs suggested including <br /> information in the tax bill about why the changes are being made. <br /> A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to approve <br /> the proposed 2008-09 civil penalty, fee, and occupancy tax changes and direct staff to begin <br /> public outreach campaigns to notify the public during May and June 2008 of the changes. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> h.
