Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Partly disagrees; characterizes Ordinance 963 as the first local limit, not an increase from an applicable local cap.

Audit analysis

The Board distinguishes the default state rule from local authority and the County’s prior conditions, citing AB 571 and Ordinance 963. The accepted ordinance amount and disputed baseline are identifiable; this is a legal/policy explanation, not independent validation.
