This memorandum is provided in an <br /> effort to provide a written plan of action prior to the BOCC meeting for discussion. <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 was 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 /> GIS department,was placed under the direction of the Orange County Tax Administrator and, <br /> more specifically,the Land Records Division of the Tax Office. <br />
