This fee revision will allow the County to recover the costs incurred by the administration necessary to license businesses in the unincoportated area of the County. As a result of the workshop, the Board recognized the importance of open space to the quality of life in the County and indicated that the County should begin to explore the possibilities for implementing various programs.
