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 atwo-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.
