Some county residents, poring over property documents provided when purchasing their homes, have been floored by the language they find.
“It made me sick,” Menestrina said. When he first read it two years ago while purchasing the home, he went to the county to have the language stricken. Assistant County Clerk-Recorder Louis Chiaramonte said he is confident the county will be able to meet its targets. The cost – projected to be $700,000 for the first year of the project – is being funded through a $2 fee established by AB 1466 that property owners must pay when the county processes their documents. Some county general funds may be needed if the new fee doesn’t cover the project’s costs, Chiaramonte said.
