About Fred
Fred Grant attained his B.A. from the College of Idaho in 1958,
majoring in History; with specialization in Constitutional History
and Law. He then attended the University of Chicago School of Law.
He served as Law Clerk to Chief Judge Brune, in the Maryland Court
of Appeals. He first worked as an associate at Lord, Bissell, and
Brook; a Chicago law firm representing Lloyd's of London. He
continued to practice law in the District of Maryland, where he was
an Assistant United States Attorney. He later became Assistant State
Attorney of Baltimore, and then Chief of the Organized Crime Unit,
State's Attorney of Baltimore. He spent his remaining time in
Baltimore involved in criminal defense.
Grant later moved with his family back to Nampa Idaho where he and
his wife were both raised. He accepted an appointment by Idaho’s
Governor as a liaison with the federal agencies, and eventually
served two of Idaho’s Governors in various roles. He has been a
hearing officer in zoning issues for over 30 years and has helped
cities and counties write land use plans protecting property rights.
He works closely with Owyhee County, Idaho where he developed the
“Coordination Strategy” now being taught across the nation as a way
for local governments to have meaningful input into the federal and
state decision making process.

Charter Counties in California: |
Ref:
CitizensForAConstitutionalRepublic.com |
The main
difference between general law and charter counties lies in the
way they can organize and select their county governing bodies
and officers. Every county is required to elect a governing body
-- a board of supervisors. General law counties elect
supervisors by district, while charter counties have the option
of electing them at large or by district Except for the
constitutional requirement that every county elect a sheriff,
district attorney and an assessor, charter counties have
considerable freedom when drafting their charters to determine
what other officers they will have, their powers and duties, and
whether they will be elected or appointed. Although general law
counties have been granted some flexibility, they do not have
the latitude of charter counties regarding officers. General law
counties are regulated by statutes which specify their principal
officers, assign their duties and require that they be elected
by the people. The law, however, permits boards of supervisors
to consolidate these elective offices into any of 25
combinations and to appoint additional officers, but prohibits
the supervisors from giving appointed officials the
responsibilities assigned by law to elected officials. |

BASIC
Differences between Charter and non Charter Government
|
ref:
http://www.polkcharter.com/2001/BasicDiff.asp |
Non-Charter |
● Structure of county government
specified in State Constitution and State Statutes. |
● Structure of county government can be
changed only by amending the State Constitution or
Statutes. All non-Charter counties are treated equally
regardless of complexity of problems. |
● County shall have only those powers
of self-government prescribed by the State Legislature. |
● State Statutes do not provide for
initiative or recall at the county level. |
|
● County cannot levy a utility tax. |
|
● In the event of a conflict, Municipal
Ordinances prevail over County Ordinances inside city. |
|
Charter |
● Structure of county government
specified in Charter. |
|
● Structure of county government can be
changed after a local election approving the change. Form
of government can be tailored to the particular needs of the
County. |
|
● County shall have all powers of
self-government unless they are inconsistent with the
Constitution and State laws. |
● County Charter can provide for
ordinances by citizen initiative and must provide for recall
for the county commission. |
● Charter counties may impose a utility
tax in the unincorporated area and can substitute that
revenue source for property taxes. |
● Charter may prescribe which ordinance
prevails inside city. |
