As part of an annual push to disburse Coastal Resources Enhancement Funds, supervisors may set aside $1 million to help purchase a defunct oil terminal or village site not far from the Gaviota tunnel.
For the 2007-08 CREF cycle, supervisors have about $1.4 million to spread between land acquisitions and general programs. With many more needy programs than funds available, the discussions often feature colorful debates about the county spending choices. Beyond land acquisitions, staff has also proposed spending $92,000 for enhancements at Rincon Park and $50,000 on a surf exhibit at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, among others. Today's hearing begins at 9 a.m., in the County Administration Building, 4th Floor, 105 E. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara. |
