Bob Schraff, outgoing CSA 36 Advisory Committee chairman. Photo by JP Crumrine<\/figcaption><\/figure>County Service Area 36 Advisory Committee Chair Bob Schraff resigned from the committee on Wednesday, Feb. 6, leaving the board with only one regularly attending member, Reba Coulter. The office of 3rd District Supervisors Jeff Stone says there are no current plans to fill the committe. Both Schraff and committee member Mike Frietas, who seldom attended meetings, cited the pointlessness of having an oversight board with nothing to review, now that the county has taken over the CSA recreation program.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, with only three members on a five-member board, any absence of one of the three make a quorum impossible,\u201dSchraff said, \u201cand that has been the case for most of the recent months.\u201d <\/p>\n

The CSA advisory committee is supposed to function as the \u201ceyes and ears\u201d of the supervisor to ensure that the recreation and street light programs are running as they should and spending of local tax money is properly accounted for. \u201cNow that the county has taken over recreation, there is no oversight or need for oversight,\u201dSchraff said. \u201cWhat happens is what Bill Brown [CSA operations manager] puts forward. The way I look at it is, right now CSA 36 Advisory Committee is responsible for three street lights.\u201d <\/p>\n

Schraff expressed frustration, shared by the committee, about receiving little or no substantive information from the county\u2019s Economic Development Agency, including regular financial reports. Without that information, they have nothing to review or report back to the supervisor about, Schraff said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also heard nothing about the [promised] community gardens or the senior center,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re disappointed that promises have not been kept. Why should I put effort into this thing when I know nothing is going to happen and no one is going to listen?\u201d<\/p>\n

Schraff also noted the ongoing rift in the community over county management of the CSA recreation contract. \u201cNo one is stepping up,\u201d he said, recalling the brouhaha over dismissal of Idyllwild Community Recreation Council and Bob Lewis and how the controversy continues to affect the CSA recreation program by discouraging locals from accepting county recreation positions.<\/p>\n

In response to questions about the future of the CSA 36 Advisory Committee, Verne Lauritzen, chief of staff for 3rd District Supervisor Jeff Stone, took a cautious position. He suggested that because David and Lois Buttterfield are reinvigorating the development of an Idyllwild Community Center, the county would take a \u201cwait and see\u201d approach since the Butterfield facility would be privately held and privately operated. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll continue to maintain present levels of recreational service on programs for which there is sufficient interest,\u201d Lauritzen said. \u201cWe may not expand programs but we\u2019ll maintain a full range of services.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that if and when the Butterfield Community Center facility is up and running, assuming that it will be a recreational facility that residents pay to use and that is what the community wants, the supervisor could decide to cancel the CSA 36 parcel assessment. \u201cHe could return that money [that currently funds the CSA 36 recreation offerings and maintenance] to the taxpayers,\u201d Lauritzen said. <\/p>\n

Lauritzen said the county still plans to accept the Town Hall deed from the Johnson family and would continue to operate it as a recreational facility. Depending on how much of the community\u2019s recreational needs are provided by the Idyllwild Community Center, then the county would consider the best communal use for Town Hall, perhaps a community theater or an expanded senior center, he added.<\/p>\n

Lauritzen said for the present, the CSA 36 Advisory Committee would remain nonoperational. He was uncertain when or if Bill Brown would advertise for a local CSA recreation manager. Brown could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
