WHEREAS, a staff report has been presented to the City Council discussing the
interim plan, which would require $275,000 per year in financial support from the County
of Ventura and the cities; and
WHEREAS, the same staff report provided the cost sharing calculation among
the agencies and the City of Moorpark is proposed to contribute $25,000 per year; and
WHEREAS, on June 20, 2012, the City Council adopted the Operating and
Capital Improvement Budget for Fiscal Year 2012/13, which does not include any
appropriation to fund this annual contribution; and
WHEREAS, on July 18, 2012 the City Council confirmed its intention to support
the East County Courthouse operations and approved the suggested contribution of
$25,000 per year; and
