PUBLIC COMMENT – 1) Linda Farley, Gloria Stallman, and Wanda Adams spoke about retiree health benefits.

Chairman Uhler said he would be happy to meet with each retiree at the meeting today individually or collectively. 2) Jenine Windeshausen, Treasurer-Tax Collector, provided an update on the MPower Placer Program, given recent developments with the Federal Housing Authorities. Processing of applications was suspended May 5, 2010 as processing could incur costs to the county or to the applicant pending further resolution. Ms. Windeshausen said she will come back to the Board at the next meeting with a more complete report and any related action items with regard to disposition. Chairman Uhler suggested this item be set as a timed item and requested the County Executive Office contact Congressman McClintock and neighboring Congress members to let them know that we are going to have a conversation about this item and would like to have someone from their offices present at the meeting to hear the Board’s discussion on the item and the investment that we have made. Holly Heinzen, County Executive Office, advised Holland & Knight, federal advocates for Placer County, have secured agreement from Senator Shaheen of New Hampshire to carry an amendment to the small business lending bill that would provide PACE Programs to be treated as special assessments or other government tax assessments at the local level including having to conform to PACE underwriting guidelines.
