The County of San Diego adopted its final Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget for county service areas, permanent road division zones, and other maintenance districts.
The Board of Supervisors vote July 31 authorized spending a total of $13,031,990 for the county service areas, $6,899,051 for the PRD zones, and $3,232,059 for other maintenance districts. The approval also designated increased reserves of $742,542 throughout the various districts.
The spending authority includes available fund balances as well as revenues from taxation and revenues from other sources such as interest, user fees, or county contributions. Some of the taxation revenue is derived from special assessments while other taxation revenue is part of the base one percent property tax.
In 2000 county service areas for road maintenance were converted into permanent road division zones (with the exception of CSA No. 86, which was formed before Santee incorporated as a city in 1980 but is no longer in the unincorporated portion of the county), although CSAs still exist for paramedic, park, fire protection and emergency medical, sewer or drainage, and regional communications services. CSA No. 135, the San Diego County Regional Communications System, was formed in 1994 to provide the authority and financial framework to institute the 800 megahertz radio communications system used for public safety and other public service.
