The <br /> update will be provided at the BOCC's March 6,2014 meeting. Pursuant to the petition and <br /> forthcoming oral report,this memorandum is complementary and serves as a preliminary <br /> overview of the current status and year in review of the Ordinance project. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> In December, 2011 the BOCC formally adopted a Road Naming and Addressing Ordinance. The <br /> Ordinance was crafted,vetted and adopted in an effort to resolve and preempt safety issues that <br /> had manifest in the operations of our county public safety departments. Public safety responders <br /> were unable to locate structures. A letter was mailed to all affected residents on August 29, <br /> 2012. This letter was generic in nature providing general information about the Ordinance and <br /> where residents could find more information. It did not cite non-compliance of properties. <br /> The Ordinance was to be enforced through county addressing, which is a responsibility of <br /> Orange County Geographic Information Systems. When this Ordinance was adopted, GIS was <br /> under the direction of Orange County Information Technologies. In November, 2012,the entire <br />
