COUNTY SUPERVISORS CONSIDER TOILETS AND TAX BREAKS TOMORROW

Toilets and tax breaks are two of the items on the agenda of the meeting of the County Board of Supervisors. Reporter Dan Stork tells who will be affected…

If you live in one of five county-administered special water districts, including ones in Landers or Pioneertown, and you’ve been hankering for a new low-flow toilet, you can get the county to pay for up to $100 of the cost. Approval of this program is on the consent agenda of the Board of Supervisors for October 7. But hurry to apply: there’s just $9500 in the entire fund.

A public hearing at the same meeting potentially affects people moving into the county. A set of property tax relief measures authorized by the voters of California over 20 years ago, are being considered for implementation in San Bernardino County. Under the proposed ordinance, people over 55 or disabled people moving into the county from another California county could use the base assessment of their old property as the base assessment of their new residence, potentially saving money on property taxes. Only nine other counties currently have such a rule in effect; seven others did, but repealed because they lost too much tax revenue.

The meeting starts at 10 a.m., and can be viewed, and participated in, at the videoconferencing facility in the County Government Building in Joshua Tree.
