[0:05] Welcome everyone to the February 13th, 2024 meeting of the Buchanan Board of Supervisors. I'm going to have Supervisor Bill Connelly, lead us in the pledge, Felicia. Thank you.
[0:19] You all rise on, please, ready, salute, pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God.
[0:40] Thank you, it's customary for us to offer a moment of silence, so if you would join me in a moment of silence, please.
[1:03] Okay, thank you for that.
[1:05] Okay, just a couple of housekeeping items before we get started.
[1:09] Supervisor Peter Durphy is in route from the Sacramento Airport.
[1:14] He's coming in.
[1:15] I think he spent some time in Las Vegas for some event that was down there.
[1:19] I'm not sure what anybody, if anybody knows what that event was, but he's coming.
[1:24] And then our CAO, Andy Pickett is on a well-deserved vacation and so sitting in for him today will be our
[1:36] assistant CAO, Megan Jessie. So Megan, thank you very much. Feel free to correct me on anything you didn't think I need to be
[1:43] corrected on. With that, as I say, every meeting, everyone is welcome to comment on agenda items or under public comments.
[1:53] If you do like want to comment we would ask you fill out one of those yellow cards in the back and on that card
[2:00] Please indicate whether it's under public comment or whether it's under an agenda item if you could put the number of the agenda items
[2:07] And there are agendas in the back that is blue colored documents
[2:13] With that just a few quick little things when you do have our speaking before this group under a public comment or under
[2:22] agenda item. We just asked that you observe the three minutes time limit that we have for you.
[2:30] And there's a series of lights on the podium. Green means that you have time left. Yellow means
[2:36] you have 30 seconds left. Red means you must stop and we would ask you to stop and hopefully we don't
[2:41] have to make you stop.
[2:45] So thank you for that.
[2:47] With that, let's move to corrections,
[2:52] or additions, and deletions.
[2:56] Great idea of a few things for you this morning.
[3:00] Item 4.05, which is the approval
[3:03] of an intergovernmental transfer of funds,
[3:05] the action requested currently reads,
[3:08] approve action and authorized chair to sign,
[3:10] that needs to be corrected, the requested action should be approved transfer.
[3:18] Item 4.03 in response to some public comment.
[3:24] You have an edited letter in front of you,
[3:27] and I will discuss the details when we get to that item,
[3:30] but the letter is more inclusive of all impacted areas.
[3:36] Item 5.01B can be pulled that has been paid,
[3:41] And then finally, members of the public have requested that we pull three consent calendar items, items 3.15, 3.18, and 3.23.
[3:58] Okay. Well, we're getting close to the consent agenda, but before we do that, do any of the board have any recruit queuesals they need to make.
[4:07] or need to reuse themselves from anything on the agenda.
[4:10] Any decisions we're making today?
[4:12] Okay, seeing none.
[4:15] We will move on to the consent agenda,
[4:18] and is anything else need to be pulled
[4:21] from Board of Supervisors?
[4:22] Anybody want to pull anything from the consent agenda?
[4:26] Seeing none.
[4:30] Hi, Peter.
[4:31] Good to see you, man.
[4:33] How are things?
[4:35] Okay, good.
[4:37] glad you're here. So should we approve the
[4:40] consent agenda and or take on the items first or
[4:43] approve subject to those items?
[4:46] Yeah, I'm going to pull those items off.
[4:47] All right, so is there any public comment in any other items on
[4:52] the consent agenda? Okay, seeing that will close public comment on
[4:56] those items that have not been pulled, I'm sorry, is there anything
[5:00] consent agenda? I do have one e-comment for item 3.10 from
[5:05] John Stone Breaker and that's all.
[5:10] Move to approve consent agenda, pulling 3.15, 3.18 and 3.23.
[5:16] Okay, thank you, sir. Second. Okay. All of those in favor?
[5:20] All right. Opposed? Okay. Let's move on just to these three items.
[5:24] Let's take them really quickly. First of all, is there public comment on 3.15?
[5:42] Good morning. Good morning. And turn that microphone on. Thank you.
[5:45] Okay.
[5:47] Good morning everyone, Board of Supervisors, good to be here this morning.
[5:53] Just briefly, 3.15, the update to the Violence and Workplace Policy of the View County
[5:59] Personal Rules, just briefly wanted to touch on us because, well,
[6:07] just it's just, I think
[6:08] it's rather humorous this policy needs to be updated when half of what's being talked
[6:13] in here is your constitutionally protected right.
[6:16] if you're already a concealed carry holder. I mean, I think it's a little ridiculous that
[6:22] we need to update the policy to reflect something if there's employees around here that have
[6:27] paid their dues and done the training, gotten their concealed carry to reflect the policy.
[6:33] Hey, it's okay to do something which is your protected right to do. If you know, I can't just take
[6:38] a gun into this meeting. I have to get a concealed carry permit. I can't take pepper spray into this meeting.
[6:44] I have to get and approve the letter from whoever's chief of security of the Board of Supervisors
[6:50] Courtants of 171 B. That sign out there. Now trying to figure out who's the chief of this security of this meeting is
[6:58] quite a, you know, circus to go through one point. I'm told it's the police of Orville next minute. I'm told, well
[7:05] it's Mr. Mike Ramsey and then the other minute. Well, it's whoever's the chief investigator at the DA's office, but
[7:13] to update this policy to reflect constitutionally protected rights,
[7:17] think it's a little silly, and those who do have concealed carry permits around here,
[7:22] keep exercising your constitutional right, policy is at law.
[7:25] The state of California penal code is the law. Thank you.
[7:30] Thank you, Mr. Cameron. Any other comments on 3.15?
[7:38] Okay, all is in favor, so you can find by say aye.
[7:42] Hi, post. Okay, motion passes. Let's move on to 3.18.
[7:48] Is there a public comment on 3.18?
[7:50] Yes, Mr. Chair. We have three cards starting with Julie 3.
[7:54] Followed by Diana Dries.
[7:57] Good morning board.
[7:58] Good morning, Mr. 3.
[8:02] Bed last night when I opened up the agenda and saw this item.
[8:04] I've been coming here for two years,
[8:07] giving you guys pieces of information, research,
[8:11] doctors, Diana Dries has spent three years giving you dozens of emails every day
[8:16] about the dangers of these shots.
[8:18] So today I'll bring you again, by $12,000 for a vaccine refrigerator is absurd.
[8:23] These are bioweapons.
[8:25] They're military grade bioweapons that are toxic pharmaceutical, military grade products
[8:30] that you're going to store in our county, and then inject into our people's arms, it's absurd.
[8:36] In VAERS, I ran these reports last night, there's 37,100 dead, there's 39,381 live
[8:43] threat to them.
[8:43] I'm one of those numbers.
[8:44] and my mom's a death. I'm running for office as you know and now there's over 250 of us
[8:49] that have pledged to stop these shots. There's 350 candidates and elected officials calling
[8:54] for the COVID shots to be pulled off the market. They're deadly. They're causing all sorts
[8:58] of problems to your immune systems and cancers and horrible problems for pregnant women
[9:03] and reproductive stuff. And you're going to store these in our county. It's absurd. I've got a
[9:07] study here that's called MRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause more deaths than say a peer reviewed study.
[9:13] this was just published on February 7, with considerably lower efficacy rates mRNA COVID-19 vaccines
[9:20] caused more deaths than saved lives according to a new study, who researchers call for a global
[9:25] moratorium on the shots and immediate removal from childhood immunization schedule. The Paravids
[9:30] study published in the curious journal on January 24th, Analyze reports from the initial phase 3 trials
[9:35] of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. These trials led to the shots being approved under EUA that's an emergency
[9:40] to use authorization. The study also looked into several other research and reviews of the trial found
[9:45] that the vaccines had dramatically lower efficacy rates. Based on conservative assumptions
[9:50] the estimated harms of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, which are going to store in these
[9:54] refrigerators greatly outwears the rewards. For every life stage, there were nearly 14 times
[9:59] more deaths caused by the modified mRNA injections. Given the well-documented series adverse events
[10:05] an unacceptable harm-tory work ratio we urged governments to endorse and enforce a global
[10:10] moratorium on these modified mRNA products to tell all relevant questions pertaining to
[10:15] causality, residual DNA, and a varied protein production are answered. You guys need to stop
[10:20] storing these in your county and injecting them to our people. Thank you for your comments.
[10:26] Ms. Dries?
[10:33] The great reset was brought in with a fake pandemic in the bio weapons,
[10:37] compliments of our department of defense, which is already killed a minimum of a 17 million
[10:43] people in the world. I don't need to say a damn thing. She said it all. Why don't she just
[10:49] put a gun in your refrigerator and take it out and shoot people in the head? This is called murder.
[10:55] Blate and disregard for human lives. I'm so tired of coming here. She said three years.
[11:07] I've been here
[11:07] is the way your silly little mask that doesn't protect. You people are breaking the law and
[11:14] you need to stop it. I give nobody permission to kill anyone in my family, my friends,
[11:20] my neighbors, my church. Stop it. Thank you for your comments. Anybody else? Up next we have Cynthia
[11:30] Joy. Cynthia. Mr Joy, good to see you. I don't want anyone to go through what I've been going
[11:38] through this last year, I have been grief-stricken, I've been so depressed.
[11:46] I just knew that I didn't have anything prepared to talk about on this because I knew
[11:50] Julie and Diana would nail it.
[11:53] But what I will say is that I looked at that agenda and I've never seen an audit claim that
[11:58] expensive before.
[12:00] I wouldn't Google that.
[12:01] I mean, there are huge audit claims for the fraction of a price.
[12:06] So I'm just wondering who is the supplier for all of this and who's using instruments
[12:11] is it the coroner that needs instruments that need to be sterilized, and is it only one
[12:16] coroner doing autotsies? Because I mean, how many sets of equipment do you need to get sterilized
[12:22] at once? I mean, I just want to know who the supplier is, and if you guys ever do any cross-checking
[12:27] on the prices of that kind of stuff, and are they going to be reporting the five risk clots
[12:34] that are plugging up everybody's arterial and venous systems? Thank you. Thank you for your comments.
[12:41] Other comments? No further comments. Yes ma'am, come on forward.
[12:50] Go ahead and tell me your name.
[12:53] I've been living in real counties since I've been 18. And let me tell you what, this place may not be, you know, perfect,
[13:02] but honestly, we are a community that cares. And I know that when working together and looking at the facts,
[13:10] because you have families that live here too.
[13:14] That's the thing.
[13:15] I know that these are some time times, okay?
[13:19] I know.
[13:20] But go and address your, yeah, to me.
[13:22] Okay, thank you.
[13:22] Work together as a community.
[13:25] I know that we can come up with simple solutions
[13:28] to major problems.
[13:30] And at the end of the day, every life matters.
[13:34] And so I just, I wanna put that out there.
[13:38] And I plead with you to listen to these amazing women because, you know, at the end of the day,
[13:45] so countless lives have been affected, especially by these vaccines,
[13:50] that are not necessary. And, and, uh,
[13:55] uh, close, the World Health Organization planly overstabbed their authorities.
[14:02] And, you know, all this corruption is coming out.
[14:05] So, you know, the truth will be spoken,
[14:09] but I know living here and being here.
[14:12] Like, this is, I'm not perfect.
[14:15] I got my first DUI here.
[14:17] You know, like I said, I've been up here since,
[14:20] I mean, I was 18 and I may not have been perfect,
[14:25] but you guys, you care, your family's care,
[14:29] and that's what matters.
[14:30] You know, we need to stop fighting again,
[14:33] see each other and start working together.
[14:36] understanding that all lives matter. Thank you very much for your comments. Anyone else on this topic?
[14:44] Okay, we'll close public comment on excuse me 3.18 is there
[14:49] Which is the board?
[14:50] Is there a second?
[14:53] Okay, we have motion a second all those in favor. Hi, post. Okay.
[15:00] And I asked at three point two, three, be pulled, because I just wanted to ask Mr. Troy Kidd, our treasure tax collector, few questions. So if you'd come forward, Mr. Kidd,
[15:16] are there other public comments in regards to this?
[15:19] We do have one card from Gilly three.
[15:21] Okay, great.
[15:22] Just a couple questions, Mr. Kidd.
[15:24] And that is, how long has it been since we've,
[15:26] it's been a while since we've had one of these
[15:28] big tax, a lien, options, or sales.
[15:32] Is that right?
[15:33] Good morning, Shark Kim will shoot members
[15:35] of the board, Troy Kidd, Treasure, Task collector.
[15:38] Our last option was in 2021.
[15:40] Okay.
[15:41] Okay.
[15:41] I noticed on the list there's several.
[15:43] There's like over a hundred, right?
[15:46] Oh, no, we have a lot of properties this year.
[15:47] probably the most you've had and quite something down. Okay, so in the sale, just explain to
[15:52] the folks here, these properties go up for auction or for sale if they have not paid their taxes
[15:59] of one five years, is that correct? Okay, and then how is the auction will take place over a series
[16:07] a couple of days in look like? Correct, so this is just kind of the initial process to kind of
[16:17] of a sprint. It's going to, or the tax auction will be in June. So this is just our initial
[16:23] list. That list always dwindles down. Yeah. We currently have three or 71 properties on the on the
[16:29] list. We started with over 400 so you can see it's almost completed dwindled down as we get closer to
[16:35] the auction. You know, and folks start getting the notices, the power to sell and certified letters
[16:40] in the mail. And then eventually the sheriff will knock on their door. You know, it does get people's
[16:48] So oftentimes, I think in 2021, we started with 250 or something like that, and there was about 60 that actually went to set.
[16:57] Okay. So it will, she will dwindle down as we get closer.
[17:01] And if there's other leans that we've placed on the property for maybe coding for some violations,
[17:06] that also comes into play, not just the past two taxes, right?
[17:10] They would have to bring that all those leans current in order to obtain the property.
[17:14] Does that make sense what I'm saying?
[17:16] No, absolutely.
[17:17] I know.
[17:20] So when we do the special assessment for the county expenses on those properties, that goes
[17:27] on to the tax bill.
[17:29] So that's become part of the minimum bid.
[17:32] The leans, however, for a statement and things like that, that's a separate lien that's
[17:38] put on the property.
[17:39] So that's not any initial offer.
[17:41] So, you know, we were close to you with County Council, we were close to you with building and planning and other other departments, but we will go through each of those with a fine tooth comb and look at them one by one, make sure we're doing our due diligence and making sure that, you know, the county has a right to protect that lean.
[18:00] Yeah, and the reason I asked that is because, you know, I've always had a little bit of an issue just with placing leans on a property for a bait, money or whatever, and it's hard to collect that unless the actual,
[18:10] property changes hands from one owner to another, maybe through an escrow or at an escrow
[18:16] company, but I was hoping that we could collect those two at the same time County Council
[18:21] is that not the way it works.
[18:24] So that is the way it works, I think there's a minimum bid, which is basically the unpaid property
[18:29] taxes.
[18:29] If you look when we do leans, we especially assess the costs and those get incorporated in that
[18:34] minimum bid.
[18:37] The penalty portion is just a lean on the property, so in order to satisfy that penalty portion that lean, the amount of the purchase has to be above that minimum bid, and then it starts to go in by priority of lean holder.
[18:52] Okay, so just for an example, I know I'm asking a lot of questions, so forgive me for that.
[18:56] But if there's a property that comes up has substantial amount of
[19:01] leans and their past due taxes and no one bids on it, does the county
[19:06] obtain that property then?
[19:07] Or how does that work?
[19:08] Does that make sense?
[19:09] My question?
[19:10] No, the county would never retain the property.
[19:14] We do.
[19:15] So the tax auction will be in June.
[19:17] We will have a re-offer in September.
[19:19] Okay, properties that don't.
[19:21] And then again, we go through these on a case by case.
[19:23] Look at them.
[19:24] reduce the amount could possibly reduce the amount?
[19:31] Let me clarify that.
[19:32] Thank you.
[19:34] So the minimum bid you buy the property and still
[19:36] land, you still have the land.
[19:39] Another is the title is clouded.
[19:41] If you clear with the county and there's other land,
[19:43] it's still on there.
[19:45] You don't clear those.
[19:48] I think there's what there's an excess proceeds process.
[19:51] And that so the purchaser would get clear title,
[19:53] about whatever the amount is purchased above the minimum bid,
[19:56] because that's the final thing.
[19:58] There you go.
[19:59] All right, I mean, it gets confusing,
[20:01] but I want to congratulate you.
[20:03] And now it's been a long time.
[20:04] I mean, we've gone through COVID and several of it.
[20:06] Thanks. I'm glad you're moving forward with this.
[20:09] And then one last question, and maybe Miss Jessie,
[20:12] you can answer this.
[20:14] Does the funds for this go directly to our general fund?
[20:18] Or is it just like any other taxes that we would collect?
[20:22] I think something probably in between the two of those, because of the Teter plan, the county
[20:28] does get some of the proceeds, but I think not all of them, so it's not directly deposited
[20:33] in the general fund, there's a process, but then ultimately that feeds the Teter plan,
[20:38] which also provides some general purpose revenue, and I don't Mr. Kate, if you have other.
[20:41] You're confusing this more because the Teter plan gets a little bit
[20:50] off, and then we go
[20:51] select it later, right, exactly right.
[20:57] No, okay, you didn't think of class, I know I need to take a class, I guess.
[21:00] But again, it does get confusing, but I'm glad congratulations for,
[21:07] we get this excess money that's
[21:09] owed to the county.
[21:10] Wherever it goes.
[21:11] Yeah, and hopefully some of that funnels back to us.
[21:15] Do you want to teach the class on that?
[21:17] No, I think Doug should.
[21:21] Thank you very much.
[21:23] Thank you very much to appreciate it, and we'll have Ms. Street come up. Any other questions for Mr. Kid?
[21:30] Okay, thank you.
[21:34] Thank you.
[21:35] Thank you, Chairman Kim, I'll shoot for pulling a side to you.
[21:39] I assume that the county does their job to tell people and notify them because I don't even get into the whole issue of, you know, is it fair?
[21:46] So, assuming these are properties need to be sold and we have money that's owed to us.
[21:49] So, I venture to guess that we should try to get as much money out of these properties as possible, just not the minimum that's due to us.
[21:57] I mean right now we've got a housing shortage and I think that if you've got a property
[22:00] let's say it's worth $200,000 and they owe $10 grand, are we seriously going to sell
[22:04] it for $10 grand and call it a day?
[22:06] I'd rather sell for $200,000 and fund these libraries.
[22:08] So I think my questions were more about the mechanics of who's going to auction them off.
[22:12] How do we try to make as much money as possible since we're going to have to go through the process
[22:16] of playing the auction here and doing all this extra work to go notify the people.
[22:20] The people of long, they're probably dead, they're probably just, they're, it's just a mess.
[22:24] So we owe the properties now.
[22:26] let's go sell them great let's sell them pretty much possible and then use the money for things like
[22:31] a library funding thank you thank you and yeah Mr. Kid I think wants to then Mr. I sell it
[22:36] you speak but go ahead Mr. Kid we can just I do not charge more than what is oh yeah
[22:41] right well it starts with the minimum that's the minimum bid yeah it's what it
[22:48] says okay so we
[22:51] that puts the property out for auction so the properties generally will sell for much higher
[22:56] then what the taxes are owed if you know once it's a good clean property okay
[23:01] That's possible. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank you for that. Ms. Dryis, would you like to address the
[23:07] I have a question for him. Yes, go ahead and ask me the question. I'll have him come up. Okay, since this is about taxes
[23:14] I recently sent a video to Congressman Lamalpha because I cannot find the law that states we are required to pay taxes
[23:26] So could somebody provide that to me or direct me to it? Like I said, I sent it to them awful too.
[23:33] We have, and I don't know who it is. I have the video. I'd like to send it to him.
[23:38] We're a very high official in California states over and over that taxes are voluntary.
[23:44] So I'd like to get to the bottom of that.
[23:46] Where today, and with all due respect, we're talking about a property taxes that are owed on properties here.
[23:54] Okay, we're not there. If there is no requirement to pay taxes, then you can't require it.
[24:00] Yeah, so could we get that?
[24:02] I'm sure somebody can research that.
[24:08] Thank you.
[24:10] Okay, any other questions, comments?
[24:13] No, okay. We'll close both the comment.
[24:15] Thank you, again, Mr. Kid.
[24:17] Which is the board?
[24:19] Okay.
[24:20] All those in favor?
[24:22] Aye.
[24:22] Opposed?
[24:23] Okay.
[24:24] Let's move on to
[24:27] are regular items, and we'll move on to 4.01A appointments to vacancies and Melissa kits, will you help me with this?
[24:38] I sure can.
[24:39] Thank you, Chair Cummels.
[24:40] Members of the board, Melissa kits, assistant clerk of the board.
[24:44] First up, the Kimshu Cemetery District owns and maintains four active cemeteries and various inactive pioneer in historic cemeteries.
[24:53] The district is managed by five trustees who serve either two or three year terms.
[24:59] Currently the district has two vacant seats and our office has received two applications.
[25:04] Alfred Howard has requested to be reappointed and Murlumus has requested appointment to the remaining vacant seat.
[25:11] The district requests that the board reappoint Alfred Howard to serve a two year term ending February 12, 2026
[25:17] And a point, Merleumus, to serve a three-year term ending February 12th, 2027.
[25:24] Thank you.
[25:26] Board members, any questions, comments?
[25:28] Comments from the audience, any public comment?

[30:14] And just want to remind the board and the public that this is the very end of a very long process by the time we get before you with these lean hearings.
[30:23] the cases have been worked exhaustively by the cut enforcement officers involved.
[30:31] We run a 96% voluntary compliance in our cut enforcement division.
[30:40] And so these are the very small percentage of cases that could not come into voluntary compliance.
[30:45] And needed to go through the formal hearing and abatement process.
[30:51] And there is a mix today of cases some are nuisance abatement for regular nuisances.
[31:03] And then there is a handful of them that are cannabis related.
[31:08] And we did have the one that was pulled as it closed escrow.
[31:15] And as we get our money back.

[38:03] Recommended board action approved it proposed length 64,716-84.
[38:09] Okay, comments from the board members?
[38:12] So it looks like this individual was represented, had an attorney.
[38:18] It's your day, Grady Davis, doesn't this work?
[38:23] And so they agree that they are, they owe this money.
[38:28] And then I'm curious if we're doing anything in terms of,
[38:33] it showed that we sent four notifications,
[38:36] are we doing anything in terms of certifying mail
[38:38] just to make sure that they are actually receiving it?
[38:42] So our certification process is another officer
[38:44] observes the initial officer fill out the form and put it in a mail and then they sign
[38:49] that agreement.
[38:53] There's nothing else in that.
[38:55] We don't send them out certified. We use the proof of service though.
[39:03] The person testifies that they put it in the mail.
[39:06] Right. And I have no questions about us putting the notice in the mail. But what I have
[39:12] noticed is a history of people saying that they did not receive it. And so it seems that
[39:18] it would be prudent to have some notification that,
[39:23] yes, this got to the mailing address, which is listed,
[39:27] especially when we have four different mailings
[39:30] that we're doing, because if somebody says they didn't get
[39:35] any of those mailings, if somebody has a PO box here
[39:40] and they only check it quarterly or they only.
[39:45] So I'm going to continue to say I think that this process,
[39:48] we should have. We should be sending it certified so that there's no question that they received
[39:53] notification. I appreciate that. Thank you for those comments, Director Daniela again. This one
[40:00] is a little bit unique compared to what we normally have brought forward as leans and I just really
[40:04] want to make the clarification that this is a situation where they entered into a settlement agreement
[40:14] and they knew the payments were due. The follow-up late notices on payments included in every
[40:23] settlement agreement. It is clearly stated and they sign it. Wet signature note highs that
[40:30] they will make these payments in a timely manner or lean will be placed on their property.
[40:36] We are not under any legal obligation to send even late notices at that point. So just for a
[40:42] a clarification because that is very
[40:46] deep leaning up to an abatement process which is the
[40:51] notification. I think in the past you have heard more.
[40:57] Okay, other questions? Comments? Public comment on this item.
[41:02] We'll public comment. See you then we'll close the comment. Which is the board?

[47:15] Sorry. So Ms. Yes, we have no more time items correct. That's correct. Okay, so we're going to move back to
[47:28] Or remember
[47:29] Camille reports who would like to start?
[47:34] I'll start I had a
[47:35] like couple weeks
[47:38] actually
[47:38] I attended a local Afko meeting in the state of Afko meeting, and I have one that's
[47:47] Friday for the state.
[47:49] Met in my office with a set of youth flood control, talking about inundation mapping of
[47:56] wardrobe, where at least we have agreed on what the flows, what flows will flood the
[48:07] community, but we're having a hard time convincing, we haven't convinced DWR, they should
[48:14] take local rain into account. You can't just say, I increase the flows in a river, and
[48:23] so the town won't flood, but if it's raining and we have inflows, it can't drain into the river,
[48:28] we've got flooding. And so we're working on that and several of us meet every two weeks on that
[48:35] issue and we are gaining ground at DWR as being more cooperative and I believe we're also very
[48:41] concerned about climate forecast operations because it seems to be centered around water delivery
[48:48] and not water safety and if in the indication of how well they predict the weather is be the last month
[48:56] you know we're going to have all these rainstorms and they're always daylight and hit in different places
[49:01] harder than they said. So we're really worried if they depend on their climate forecast,
[49:06] the mistakes on the eight will in and eight are communities or if you're on down. So we're
[49:12] working with them. At least we're talking to us now. That way. On my touch, I had a cause about
[49:18] Clipper Mills code enforcement's looking into that where we have an open case but people are
[49:22] still dumping on it. Overby, Korean, Avenue, and Cultivators, I had a cause about motorcycle
[49:29] writers on private property, I don't know what we can do about that, but I tried to work
[49:33] something out, and I taught a hundred safety class, and that's it. So I have for you.
[49:42] Okay, Mr. Derby, anything?
[49:47] First that apologize for my tardiness. I was, I got on a flight this morning in Vegas at
[49:52] 620, so I made it, but, and no, I did not attend the Super Bowl. I took it through $10,000.
[50:01] I attended a lot of events surrounding the Super Bowl this last week I went to a proposition
[50:10] one meeting that was put on by Scott Cannelly, AGUBC meeting B.C.C., like the rest of us met
[50:18] with Cal Fire, attended the Farm Bureau dinner, local government committee meeting with
[50:24] Supervisor Ritter, and my first time going to downtown Chico Business Association, the other annual meeting,
[50:33] and that was an interesting event. It was good to see that these places are starting to thrive again.
[50:40] But that was about it. Again, like I said, I went to the Super Bowl, kind of.
[50:47] Which we had a better outcome?
[50:49] I thought the outcome was great.
[50:50] Okay, I remember.
[50:54] Supervisor Teeter.
[50:56] Why not?
[50:58] So last week, our CRC went to D.C.

[51:06] And key issues, we're secure schools, payment and loot taxes.
[51:09] Farm Bill, especially getting the eligible communities.
[51:13] Population cap.
[51:14] We're asking for 50,000.
[51:17] I think it depends on the program.
[51:18] It's 10 or 20, so a lot of our communities can apply.
[51:21] Also, a good neighbor authority, the Force Service has it, and we're seeking that the BLM and
[51:27] National Parks join in.
[51:29] That's where people can be authorized to clear, uh, defensible space on Force Service or
[51:36] other government land.
[51:38] Uh, talk about the rule partners network, uh, increasing funding, and requesting that there's
[51:42] a USDA staff member, uh, for technical assistance, uh, to California, right now it's a
[51:48] program in California wasn't included. Rule hospitals we out of the cater for home insurance
[51:54] and we met with as a group. I didn't meet with all of them. We kind of broke up.
[51:59] Valadéo, Pineda, Garamondi, Lovgren, Dwarthi, Lomolfa, and then then we met with senators, Padilla
[52:11] staff, Senator Butler staff, had a USDA meeting, and then also met with the Ford Service.
[52:23] And Mike Thompson, Kevin Kiley.
[52:26] So that was, it's good work.
[52:29] Thank you for joining us.
[52:30] You're welcome.
[52:31] I think the interesting part for me, I mean it was all interesting, but it's kind of the broken
[52:36] record, yes, or I was in Pilt.
[52:38] But the White House we met with intergovernmental affairs, domestic policy, folks, and I brought
[52:44] up the fire settlement tax exclusion that hopefully the President, if the Senate approves,
[52:51] will go for and then also issues with if monuments declared in fire prone areas such
[52:57] as the one in Plum's County.
[53:00] So, thanks.
[53:01] Thank you.
[53:01] Thank you for that.
[53:02] Supervisor Ritter.
[53:05] Okay, attended the prop one meeting that was put on by our behavioral health staff, the regional
[53:12] homeless planning symposium, the county behavioral health meeting, attended the economic
[53:17] forecast, which was always,
[53:22] I think that might have been before the last meeting.
[53:24] We had our local master plan on aging, our air quality meeting.
[53:28] We didn't have B-cag this month, so I will say that supervisors who were not in attendance may
[53:34] I've gotten volunteered for some air quality meetings.
[53:39] I was there.
[53:41] I was there.
[53:42] I was arrested.
[53:43] I didn't.
[53:44] I attended the United Way event in Reading and our Orville Southside Center, one in a
[53:50] ward, so that was pretty exciting.
[53:53] I've attended multiple meetings with folks who lease land in mobile home parks, our
[53:59] first five executive committee meeting, the Sacramento Valley Basin meeting,
[54:04] our local government committee meeting. I hosted a community meeting kind of town hall for district three and
[54:14] attended our roots meeting with Chico State and then our continuum of care.
[54:19] Excellent, thank you for your work, appreciate it. Well, I have attended a couple crab feeds, a crab feed season.
[54:26] So I've been to those, a close-of-farm show breakfast or a little rotary round-up, a great event by the Orville Rotary, the Farm Bureau Annual Dinner.
[54:37] I also attended a supervisor, Ritter's Town Hall. She did an excellent job and so did Director Cannelly.
[54:44] Thank you for doing that. Director Cannelly has been extremely busy. He's still going to do some more community meetings in regards to proposition 1.
[54:53] So we appreciate your hard work and those evening meetings.
[54:57] Also, met with the City of Biggs Mayor, City Manager,
[55:04] Lafco staff, Steve Lucas from Lafco on possible annexations
[55:08] in the Biggs area.
[55:12] So with that, I will close that account, close that account.
[55:17] I'll close that, close that section.
[55:24] So, we're going to have public comment for about 15 minutes and when the 15 minutes is up any further public comment will be removed to the end of our meeting.
[55:36] So, we're going to start now with public comment.
[55:44] Public comment is three minutes each.
[55:47] You can discuss anything that's not on the agenda.
[55:49] We cannot take action on anything that is not on the agenda.
[55:52] So, with that, do we have any cards?
[55:54] We do. First off for the record, we received one e-comment from Diana Dries. We have six cards.
[56:03] First up, Diana Dries followed by Cynthia Joy.
[56:26] The U.N. NATO, the New World Disorder and the W.E. efforts brought in the Great Reets set with the fake pandemic and bioweapons compliments of the Department of Defense that has killed over 17 million people.
[56:40] and has helped no one. It was meant to harm, disable, and kill.
[56:44] Cloud Schwab brags that the world economic forum has infiltrated governments all around the world.
[56:51] George Soros takes credit for his overhaul of the U.S. Justice System, control of local DAs, and mass immigration.
[56:59] The border crisis is funded by the U.N. White House, U.S.A. ID, and our tax dollar dollars.
[57:06] Military-aged men walking in cadence like an army with military-style haircuts stand at parade
[57:13] rest showing who's in command and who are the soldiers and look like they're physically
[57:18] trained soldiers.
[57:20] Many countries do not have the same respect for women, sexual or homosexual rights.
[57:26] This is a planned and structured invasion.
[57:30] Government appears to be attacking life with abortion.
[57:33] and look up Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood,
[57:38] who set up and black communities
[57:39] to eliminate blacks and people of color.
[57:42] The COVID fraud, the bioweapons made,
[57:45] which is medically assisted suicide,
[57:49] depopulation, human child sex trafficking
[57:51] with 85 to 100,000 children missing from the border.
[57:56] Beel County Sheriff Warren, excuse me.
[57:59] Butler County Sheriff Warren's terrorist attacks are imminent.
[58:02] Terrible cancers, disabilities, fires, floods, in fact there was a flood in Santa Ana,
[58:08] which was from cloud seeding, and many of those people don't have flood insurance.
[58:13] Trained derelment, civil war, in Sri Lanka let me remind you, the people didn't go after
[58:18] the people they went after the government, as a president ran away out the back door.
[58:24] The elimination of farmers, no farmers, no food, destruction of our food supply, over
[58:29] hundred-food processing plants were destroyed. Our air, food, and water is poison. There's water,
[58:36] there's weather, warfare, heart, wars, and Ukraine, China in Israel. And the ultimate slavery
[58:43] goal of the central bank digital currencies, which is early similar to the biblical mark of the
[58:50] beast system. Even Dr. Peter McCollough, who warns about the deadly shots, is now warning about
[58:56] the one-world government coming our way with the worldwide power grab going on.
[59:03] They're telling us to prepare for disease X, which is supposed to be 20 times more fatal than the coronavirus.
[59:09] How do they know this and how can they make a vaccine for a disease that isn't even here yet?
[59:16] We are dealing with unhinged demonic psychopaths.
[59:20] They're trying to get the illegal aliens
[59:23] to become part of our military
[59:25] and take over our police forces
[59:27] because they removed the military
[59:31] who refused the death shot.
[59:32] Please stop, Ms. K.
[59:34] Thank you very much for your comments.
[59:38] Don't be complicit in child trafficking.
[59:42] Next up is Cynthia Joy, followed by Julie III.
[59:46] Ms. Joy?
[59:51] Ode to fat checkers by JPCers.
[59:56] We the public want to thank the fat checkers for protecting
[1:00:00] Members from free speech, our own thinking and diverse perspectives, because we're simply not intelligent enough to think for ourselves and decide what is true.
[1:00:10] Fact-checkers, your authoritarian use of absolute words like facts and truth helps us discount our own thinking while giving you power to protect us.
[1:00:23] It reminds us of how Catholic priests used words like God to have power over and protect children.
[1:00:31] Because there's no examples of how this can be harmful, we'll keep trusting you.
[1:00:38] fat checkers your unquestionable honesty and 100% accuracy rate and pointing out other people's
[1:00:47] mistakes literally makes you perfect. Intuitively people know that living in a society
[1:00:54] where only one point of view is allowed and imposed while other points of view are exterminated
[1:01:01] will be a happy, prosperous society.
[1:01:05] History has taught us that, over and over.
[1:01:12] Fact checkers, please accept our public apology
[1:01:16] for having the audacity to think,
[1:01:19] let alone speak without your permission.
[1:01:22] We know that factcheck.org is controlled
[1:01:25] by a mob-booky, Walter Ann and Verg's family,
[1:01:29] with direct connections to Fauci Soros and Bill Gates Senior.
[1:01:33] Therefore, those who are trying to control the narrative control the fact checkers who are helping control the narrative.
[1:01:40] But because this isn't public knowledge, we the public don't have knowledge of it, because we're too stupid.
[1:01:49] Here's a picture of them altogether.
[1:01:53] Fact checkers, we pray that you extend your chokehold beyond basic speech.
[1:01:58] We need you to protect us from inspirational music, art, books, because without you will mistakenly
[1:02:06] believe they're making our lives better.
[1:02:10] As we the public apologize for even existing, please accept our gratitude for gracing
[1:02:15] us with the divinity of your absolute truth.
[1:02:19] Without which we'd be walking into traffic, stumbling into free speech, and getting infected
[1:02:26] with a diversity of ideas. Thank you for your service.
[1:02:33] Thank you. Next.
[1:02:39] Up next is Julie 3 followed by the cameraman.
[1:02:47] Hi, Julie 3. I'm delivering to you today a letter.
[1:02:51] It's going to the one veteran on the supervisor board.
[1:02:54] Mr. Clark.
[1:02:55] I'm talking with you in the sheriff and open letters to the American people
[1:02:57] from signatories over 27,000 of this death.
[1:03:02] And the course of human events, it sometimes becomes necessary to
[1:03:05] admonish the lawless, encourage the faint-hearted and
[1:03:07] strengthen.
[1:03:08] Thank you.
[1:03:09] Reach such a time in our history.
[1:03:11] The affairs of our nation are now steeped in
[1:03:13] aberricious corruption, and our once-stallward institutions,
[1:03:16] including the Department of Defense and
[1:03:17] View County, are failing to fulfill the moral obligations
[1:03:20] upon which they were founded.
[1:03:22] Standing upon our natural and constitutional rights, we,
[1:03:24] hereby a prize-e-american people that we have exhausted all
[1:03:27] internal efforts to rectify recent criminal activity within the
[1:03:30] Armed Forces and View County.
[1:03:31] In the Declaration of Independence, our founding father sought separation.
[1:03:35] We seek no separation, but through this letter and the efforts we pledge here in, we pursue
[1:03:38] restoration through accountability.
[1:03:40] We intend to rebuild trust and restore the rule of law, particularly within the Armed Forces
[1:03:44] and Beauty County.
[1:03:45] Ultimately, we strive to once again become a moral people, restoring our nation and making
[1:03:49] it, again, worthy of the great gift of liberty, one by the colonial-era American people.
[1:03:53] While implementing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, military leaders' ambieucount and wrote
[1:03:57] the law.
[1:03:58] For ample constitutional rights, denied informed consent permitted unwilling medical experimentation
[1:04:02] and suppressed the free exercise of religious religion.
[1:04:06] Service members and families were significantly harmed by these actions.
[1:04:10] They're suffering continues to be felt financially emotionally and physically.
[1:04:13] Some service members became part of our ever-growing veteran homeless population, some developed
[1:04:18] debilitating vaccine injuries and some even lost their lives.
[1:04:21] In an apparent attempt to avoid accountability, military leaders and B. County are continuing
[1:04:25] to ignore our communications, regarding these injuries and the laws that were broken.
[1:04:30] These individuals enable lawlessness and the unwilling experimentation of service members.
[1:04:34] The moral and physical injuries they help inflict are significant.
[1:04:37] They betrayed the trust of service members and the American people.
[1:04:40] Their actions cause irreparable harm to the armed forces and the institutions for which we
[1:04:44] have fought and bled.
[1:04:45] These leaders refuse to resign or take any other action to hold themselves accountable.
[1:04:50] Nor have they attempted to repair the harm their policies and actions have caused.
[1:04:53] Since there has yet to be any accountability, the undersigned give our work to do everything
[1:04:57] morally permissible and legally possible to hold our own leadership accountable.
[1:05:01] We intend to rebuild trust by demonstrating that leaders cannot cast aside their constitution
[1:05:05] rights or the law for political expediency.
[1:05:08] Our nation was once great because it was good.
[1:05:10] It was built on moral principles, founded in natural law, and yet the recent acceleration
[1:05:14] of moral relativism has us headed towards a precipitous implosion.
[1:05:18] Well, all good things come to an end.
[1:05:20] We refuse to allow our nation or our new county to go quietly into the depths of decadence
[1:05:24] and decay.
[1:05:26] We promise to exhaust all moral ethical and legal means to restore the rule of law and
[1:05:30] we'll begin by attempting to hold senior military leaders and new county accountable.
[1:05:34] The Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
[1:05:37] We will fight to enforce that law and put an end to the two tier justice system.
[1:05:42] May future generations, CR efforts, and God willing, may they also be recipients of the
[1:05:48] the honor of safeguarding. Please stop these shots and be counted. Thank you.
[1:05:53] Up next we have the camera man followed by George Deeds.
[1:06:00] Good morning. Good morning again,
[1:06:02] boarder to suit. Good morning again board of supervisors. I am the camera man. I'm here to
[1:06:09] talk about the main issue. I came to speak about the main meet if you will of my breakfast.
[1:06:15] And that is SB 719 also known.
[1:06:21] Unications transparency act. I don't know if any of you
[1:06:24] members of the board are listeners to police scanners, but over, since I want to say
[1:06:32] last Sunday when we had the big storm, I was listening, monitoring, getting real time
[1:06:37] information about power lines down, trees in the road from our sheriff's department, but
[1:06:42] about a few days after that, channels gone dead. It's gone quiet. Can't hear anything. And that's
[1:06:49] because the sheriffs have gone and encrypted their frequency.
[1:06:54] Now, this is not by their own choice.
[1:06:57] This is an order of the, I would say, confusion,
[1:07:01] order of the highest to confuse the public on having access.
[1:07:06] But the DOJ, this is coming from them.
[1:07:09] There's been issues about law enforcement,
[1:07:12] saying confidential information over the airwaves.
[1:07:15] And that's in regards to certain things
[1:07:17] like people's social security numbers, drivers license and drivers license is numbers.
[1:07:23] Common sense, things that shouldn't be run over the information.
[1:07:27] So there's been a need now to protect people's privacy while maintaining a level of
[1:07:33] transparency.
[1:07:34] But as of right now, the channel is completely encrypted.
[1:07:38] Now, this Senate bill gives them the ability to do that.
[1:07:42] We want them to be able to have a channel, talk privately on the communicates, those
[1:07:47] for, you know, things that need to be communicated privately, you know, criminals are smart
[1:07:50] too.
[1:07:51] They adapt with the tongue tied this morning, ladies and gentlemen.
[1:07:56] They adapt as well as law enforcement, adapt sometimes, you know, right along with them.
[1:08:01] But it's also, they're forgetting here, we also have penal code 636.5 that says any criminal,
[1:08:07] you know, any of that uses a police scanner and it contains information from that and uses
[1:08:17] you know, if I find out over the radio who's who's being transported up to the court,
[1:08:22] I intercept that van and get busted the guy out.
[1:08:24] I mean, not only is that a bunch of crimes, but if they found out that I found that out from using a police scanner,
[1:08:30] it's an additional crime.
[1:08:31] So there is somewhat level of protection in for, you know, people listening to that information
[1:08:37] doing wrong with it, but to go fully encrypted, it's, you know, it's
[1:08:41] The encryption is corruption, ladies and gentlemen, we pay for these radios.
[1:08:48] We have a right to hear what's being said over them, but the options listed that they must
[1:08:53] provide either an unencrypted channel to listen to either a live streaming fee, the public
[1:08:59] can listen to, or pay a certain fee, and then be given access to that encrypted channel.
[1:09:06] None of those are in place, so right now the sheriff is running around this county fully
[1:09:11] unmonitored by members of the public and I think either that needs to be unencrypted as soon as
[1:09:17] possible and put it in a reasonable policy in place or do something to make it more transparent.
[1:09:23] Thank you.
[1:09:26] Okay.
[1:09:27] I think we can pull in one more.
[1:09:29] How many more cards do we have?
[1:09:31] We have three more cards.
[1:09:33] Okay.
[1:09:33] We'll do one more card and then we'll continue this at the end of the meeting.
[1:09:37] Go ahead.
[1:09:37] Up next George Dean.
[1:09:40] Do you know how to turn this on you're all fine. Okay, I'm hello. So I'm
[1:09:56] so
[1:09:56] So two November to go the human abski center United all the California advocates for mental health and that's last year
[1:10:04] We've been doing nothing McGon and Sacramento to get the three bills past S B 43 we knew it was going to throw you guys for loop
[1:10:12] Because not only are we talking about families that have mentally ill
[1:10:16] folks, you know, knocked in the head,
[1:10:19] paraded carried however that went,
[1:10:20] but we had families that,
[1:10:23] you're watching your loved one, drink themselves
[1:10:24] at death and you can't do one thing about it.
[1:10:27] You're watching your loved one, sit there and do heroin
[1:10:30] or whatever lifestyle that got them on the street
[1:10:32] so we created this whole situation that we got going on
[1:10:34] and every town in the United States,
[1:10:37] definitely in California.
[1:10:40] So, going through that experience and going through
[1:10:42] all the different stages of legislation,
[1:10:43] There was only three votes against SB 43 because you see all those families got together to let you guys know that you know what
[1:10:51] Yeah, it is about to see the video, but who gets affected because a lot of them got to add a ghost
[1:10:55] Yeah, they know what's going on. It's us families
[1:10:58] It's us families that pushed it. It's us families that are talking about it
[1:11:02] That's why I was represented a couple years ago when I started going after the letters to let you guys understand that we got a lot of families out here
[1:11:09] That can't show up over here. That don't want to show up because mental health signals very alive
[1:11:13] You know, but now they got broken wide open, so I appreciate all the work that Scott Scott going on.
[1:11:20] Procone, yeah, vote for it. It's going to help us. But if it doesn't get through
[1:11:25] then what? Well, I talked to Colleen, you know, our president, and she talked to someone,
[1:11:29] and they said, well, maybe we got to take some money and away from not, for not me, do it.
[1:11:33] What are we going to do, start the housing? What are we going to start to do to get the property?
[1:11:37] Whatever we got to do to start doing this, because, you know, there's a lot more families.
[1:11:40] So I'll be going to cheeko city council next Tuesday to start this again. Maybe send you guys a letter
[1:11:46] Maybe I'll go to Orville then paradise
[1:11:48] We're still working it out mean while we are mean all kinds of people that are interested because you know how many agencies that just got involved just because it has to be 43
[1:11:57] So I appreciate the work that you guys are doing appreciate the work that's got to do and thank you very much. I'll be back
[1:12:03] Thank you for your comments. So we have how many cards left three
[1:12:08] Okay, we're going to apologize for those who want to speak, but we're going to speak at the end of the meeting.
[1:12:14] Open a public comment again then.
[1:12:17] We don't have a lot more on our agenda.
[1:12:19] So we'll move on to item 4.03 letter of opposition to the California Public Utilities Commission.
[1:12:28] For AT&T's request to discontinue landline services,
[1:12:32] under share of Matthew Clarkson. So I think you want to speak to this.
[1:12:36] Maybe, uh, Megan Jesse? Yes, go ahead.
[1:12:38] Yeah, I can I can kick that off and we'll be joined by the under share of.
[1:12:42] Um, we are here this morning Chairman Campbell Schumembers of the board with a letter, um,
[1:12:46] an opposition to the CPC who is considering a request from AT&T to relieve AT&T
[1:12:52] of their responsibility of carrier of last resort to provide landline services to much of
[1:12:58] California and View County. As I noted earlier, we do have an edited letter for your consideration
[1:13:04] this morning that does include all impacted jurisdictions instead of just the sampling of them.
[1:13:10] The function of the carrier of last resort is to provide affordable landline services to our
[1:13:15] residents. The proposal that AT&T has put forward is to cease this service and not transfer those
[1:13:23] responsibilities to another provider.
[1:13:25] This causes concerns across the state, and certainly here in the county as many residents
[1:13:30] still rely on the service.
[1:13:32] And there are particular concerns related to public safety, and so with that, I'll turn it
[1:13:36] over to undershare of coffins.
[1:13:39] Thank you.
[1:13:40] The Sheriff's Office has a number of concerns about this proposed action by the CPUC.
[1:13:48] You know, primarily the Sheriff's Office is concerned about two different things.
[1:13:53] First, our ability to reach citizens in our rural areas that rely on traditional landline services to receive emergency alerts and to communicate with emergency services.
[1:14:08] That's part of a layered system.
[1:14:10] If we rely on only one form of notification where that be cellular, internet or landline, we're missing out on a lot of people.
[1:14:17] So, having redundancies and having overlapping systems is extremely important to reaching the most people possible in the event of an emergency.
[1:14:27] So, notwithstanding widespread natural disasters and evacuation orders and other emergency notifications.
[1:14:34] There's a number of people in the county who rely on a landline traditional phone service for everyday emergencies to call for EMS to call for fire to call for law enforcement.
[1:14:44] and by losing that ability,
[1:14:49] many of those people will not have a reasonably feasible alternative.
[1:14:54] Cellular does not reach a number of areas in View County.
[1:14:58] Satellite Internet also.
[1:15:00] So has issues with connectivity and costs for many people. Voice over IP is also not without
[1:15:07] its limitations. Voice over IP typically requires power, requires electricity to run a computer
[1:15:14] or router which then provides the phone line service. And what's the first thing that goes
[1:15:19] out during a public safety power shutoff that occurs during the most high risk wind
[1:15:25] events, the power. So we don't think that the voice over IP is a reasonably feasible or
[1:15:32] advisable alternative to landline service. We may get to a point in the future where there
[1:15:38] is a alternative that will reach the same number or largely the same number of people, but
[1:15:44] we're not there yet. So the sheriff and the sheriff's office join the board of supervisors
[1:15:48] providing a letter opposing the CPUCs potential action in releasing AT&T as the provider of
[1:15:57] last resort.
[1:15:59] Thank you for that.
[1:16:01] Once you go ahead and stay there.
[1:16:03] Any questions?
[1:16:04] Yeah, if a question.
[1:16:05] So looking at the map, it looks like there's other areas that are covered that are covered in the
[1:16:12] or area that are not mentions like bute Valley. So are we going to change it to say and all other
[1:16:20] impacted areas or do we have to list it? So the letter that was on your diet this morning
[1:16:27] actually has a list that came straight from the CPUC filing. That includes all impacted areas.
[1:16:34] Okay. And then my second question is, you know, the only way that we would have to reach, you know, to cover these houses.
[1:16:47] And I don't know if the number change because the first letter had over 37,000.
[1:16:52] And so I don't know if it went up when we included all of the other areas, or still estimated at 37,000.
[1:16:59] Right, that number is still estimated that came from the folks we work with on broadband coverage,
[1:17:03] AT&T was actually not able to provide us a number, but we did work to get that estimate of folks who are right.
[1:17:09] I think that there should be an ask in our letter as well, that if they are to move forward,
[1:17:16] that they are providing all 37,000 plus households with an alert FM and the ongoing maintenance for it.
[1:17:23] Because that's the only way we're going to have to notify folks in the case of an emergency.
[1:17:28] Sure, and that would certainly be better than having no service, and that would allow them to receive at least one way communications from the Sheriff's Office.
[1:17:37] We was still opposed.
[1:17:38] Yeah, I still oppose it.
[1:17:39] I just think there should be some kind of in-ask that shows what the financial impact would be just for us to get the most basic emergency alert to these folks.
[1:17:52] I'd like to comment, I know AT&T had crews on the ground right after the fires, restring
[1:18:00] landlines, even before PG&A was even in the forest, so they did attempt to ring landlines
[1:18:06] back, and I understand it's a bit of a business decision, I am against it, because the
[1:18:11] public safety issue.
[1:18:13] So I think we should also request that they have to provide a self service to some sort.
[1:18:20] So there would be a redundancy if you had cells in you had the alarm in your house.
[1:18:25] In other words, if you're going to pull out of an area you have to provide cell service.
[1:18:29] And that seems reasonable.
[1:18:30] It's the new technology.
[1:18:31] It's where we had it.
[1:18:37] And give what we get.
[1:18:38] In other words, put up more towers.
[1:18:40] Yeah, good.
[1:18:41] Every it takes.
[1:18:42] I like it.
[1:18:44] Any other questions?
[1:18:45] Yeah, I live in Durham and we have a landline.
[1:18:48] And I'm glad we do.
[1:18:49] For the very reasons that we talked about.
[1:18:52] And I don't know if this is appropriate, but another CC, I would mind having you do a CSAC as well.
[1:18:59] I know they represent all the counties in California, many of us are rural.
[1:19:04] Just make them aware of what's going on in these rural areas.
[1:19:07] Yes, absolutely.
[1:19:07] And I do know they are aware.
[1:19:09] And I should have been.
[1:19:09] Okay, thank you very much.
[1:19:12] No more comments from board members.
[1:19:14] Public comment.
[1:19:15] In public comment on this.
[1:19:16] I'm sure there probably is.
[1:19:17] Yes, Mr. Chair, we received one e-comment from Neil Meyer.
[1:19:20] And we have one card from Cynthia Joy.
[1:19:23] Yeah.
[1:19:26] I was just going to say that I am definitely all for preserving the landlines because being
[1:19:31] up in Miguel, yeah, when the power goes out, we don't have phone service.
[1:19:35] It can be very scary.
[1:19:37] My rain cameras rely on phone service and when that goes out, at least I'd like to have my
[1:19:43] landline to be able to contact 911 if I had to.
[1:19:47] And that's really scary that we can't listen to police scanners.
[1:19:50] What's Carl Alarsson going to do?
[1:19:52] for you crime spotters at two in the morning.
[1:19:56] All right, thank you for your comments.
[1:19:59] Okay, other public comment, anybody else,
[1:20:01] like to speak on this issue?
[1:20:03] Okay, we'll close public comment.
[1:20:05] Which is of the war?
[1:20:07] Okay, is there a second?
[1:20:10] Is there a second?
[1:20:10] Okay, a motion of the second, all those in favor?
[1:20:12] Aye, opposed?
[1:20:14] Thank you for that.
[1:20:15] I just want to clarify that was a approval
[1:20:17] with the two additions or the three additions.
[1:20:19] Okay, thank you so much for that.
[1:20:21] Thanks. Okay. Under share of clockens, you have to come back up again. Okay. And this is a
[1:20:29] contract with Katherine Raven, MD for forensic pathology services. Yes, so we're looking to
[1:20:38] amend the contract with Dr. Raven to increase the rate for a full autopsy from $1,700 per
[1:20:45] to $2000 per case. That represents the market rate, actually some areas in California are more expensive
[1:20:53] than that. Our current contract with Sacramento County, if we were to send someone down there
[1:20:59] for a autopsy with cost between $3,000 and $3,600. Dr. Raven has been a very good partner for
[1:21:06] county very dedicated, very experienced forensic pathologist and with the operation of our
[1:21:13] more facility, the number of autopsy she's performing, we want to hold on to her.
[1:21:22] There's a nationwide shortage of forensic pathologists that are approximately 750
[1:21:28] forensic pathologists in the state, or sorry, in the entire country, which equates to about
[1:21:34] on board certified forensic pathologist for every 440,000, so we think this is a reasonable
[1:21:42] increase and it's a market rate increase to increase the rate from $1700 to $2000 per
[1:21:51] case.
[1:21:52] Okay.
[1:21:53] Questions from the board members?
[1:21:56] Okay.
[1:21:57] Open up for public comment.
[1:21:59] We have one card from Julie III.
[1:22:04] Yeah, thank you for this.
[1:22:05] So a couple of things, my mom died on vacation on August 15, 2022 in Wyoming, and I knew
[1:22:11] that she had been poisoned by four shots of Moderna.
[1:22:14] My immediately was on the phone with the Wyoming State Pathologist, Dr. Tom Bennett.
[1:22:18] He didn't know how to do any autopsy on my mom's blood and tissues in her heart to find
[1:22:25] out that she was poisoned by a drug by a known pharmaceutical product.
[1:22:28] Now, he's retained her tissues and lab so that once this information is becoming more readily
[1:22:32] available, which it is to find the cause of death to be tied to another drug, besides just
[1:22:38] fentanyl or arsenic. In my mom's case, it was the vaccine. So I would love to see this woman
[1:22:43] continue to explore and I'll give the information to the ender sheriff, because Dr. Ryan
[1:22:48] Cole is doing investigations and proving that people have died from the vaccine. A good
[1:22:52] friend of mine just lost her son or lost her son in 2021, Victor Samoa is to the vaccine.
[1:22:58] And she's now proven it. And there's a peer reviewed study on exactly how they looked at
[1:23:02] bloodstained signs so that we can get don't we want full transparency and how come people are
[1:23:06] dying around here I think that's fair number two why do we have all these doctors living
[1:23:11] outside of you county this one looks like she lives in Nevada so okay if we can't find them here
[1:23:16] she has to live in Nevada or like our other public health doctor lives in Chicago why do we have to
[1:23:21] pay for the travel so it's like $300 for to come to be county I think it's crazy that we have to pay
[1:23:26] for her to want to live in Nevada in a lower cost of living in us pay for the travel I think that's
[1:23:30] Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Anybody else comment on this comment for the comment. Oh, it was dry.
[1:23:39] Did you turn on the microphone, please?
[1:23:42] I like to follow Julie. So did offer everything she said.
[1:23:47] I usually carry around a picture that shows what's growing inside of people's veins.
[1:23:52] These really need to be looked at. And we need to stop what's going on here.
[1:23:59] Thank you for those comments. Any other comment?
[1:24:03] Okay, we'll close public comment on this item.
[1:24:06] Which is of the board?
[1:24:09] There's a motion, sir. Second.
[1:24:11] Okay, all those in favor?
[1:24:12] Aye. Opposed.
[1:24:14] Okay, on to item 4.05, approval of the Intergovernmental Transfer of Public Funds.
[1:24:22] Director Scott Kennelly.
[1:24:26] Good morning, Chair. Can we shoot members of the board?
[1:24:27] Scott Knelly director for behavioral health.
[1:24:30] This is a little bit of a complicated item to review,
[1:24:34] but essentially, when California advancing
[1:24:36] and innovating a medical or CalAIM got put in place,
[1:24:39] the way counties get paid or reimbursed
[1:24:41] for their services changed, we are required to front load
[1:24:45] or put up funding to match federal financial participation
[1:24:48] funding which then gets drawn down through
[1:24:50] what's called an intergovernmental transfer.
[1:24:53] And so originally the state asked counties
[1:24:54] which way they wanted to receive funding,
[1:24:56] they could offset their allocation of realignment money that comes to us every month, a certain percentage,
[1:25:02] or we can choose to pay them via a check or electronic transfer a certain amount to get our baseline amounts.
[1:25:09] Unfortunately, the state was not able to get their technology in place in order to do that automatic deduction that would have to have
[1:25:16] occur monthly and so is asking that the county put up the funding and electronic transfer it back to them in order to initiate the intergovernmental transfers.
[1:25:24] The transfers need to be made to both drug medical, and especially mental health services, and the amount that the state is requesting is $27,986 for drug medical, and $2,595,000 and $2,595 and $3,595 and $342 for especially mental health services.
[1:25:43] The total amount is 2,623,2,623,328 dollars, and we are requesting that you approve
[1:25:54] the transfer.
[1:25:55] There is no fiscal impact to the county, this is behavioral health funding that just
[1:25:59] basically goes up to the state, or to the federal government, then comes back down.
[1:26:04] Very easy to understand.
[1:26:06] Thank you for that.
[1:26:07] comment. Any comments from the board? Okay. Public comment on this item. Okay,
[1:26:15] see you in nine. We'll close public comment. I wish you's of the board.
[1:26:20] Okay. Okay, so motion to second all those in favor.
[1:26:24] Aye. Opposed. Thank you very much. Okay, next is 4.06 contract amendment with Valley Oak Children Services.
[1:26:35] and Ken Mackel, do I say that right? Mackel? Mackel? Mackel? How do I say it?
[1:26:40] Close enough. Okay, sorry about that. Ken, thank you for being here. Yeah, you're back.
[1:26:44] Good morning, Chair. General Sioux and Board. As you said, I'm Ken Mackel,
[1:26:48] Assistant Director of Employment and Social Services on behalf of Shelby.
[1:26:53] We're looking to amend our contract with Valley Oak Children Services for stage 1 child care.
[1:26:58] This contract provides child care management services to well for the work participants.
[1:27:02] We're engaged in preparing for and participating in employment and self-sufficiency activities.
[1:27:10] The amendment increases the Maxwell-Pamble amount by $3 million, $161,000, $175.
[1:27:19] It's important to note that Stage 1 child care has been removed from the Cowork-Single
[1:27:25] allocation so the full costs of child care will be in reversed reimbursement 100% without any
[1:27:32] county share or over match.
[1:27:35] The department recommends the board approve the amendment with the contract with the
[1:27:41] fellow youth and services for CalWorks Stage 1 Child Care Management Services.
[1:27:46] Okay, thank you for that explanation.
[1:27:50] Comments, questions from members of the board.
[1:27:52] Okay, public comment, no public comment. Okay, we'll close public comment, which is the board.
[1:28:00] There's a approval. Okay. All those in favor. All right, post. Thank you very much, Ken.
[1:28:08] We're going to take a quick list to a, sorry about that. We're going to do a 12 minute break.
[1:28:14] we're going to come back here at 20 till okay so 10 40 thank you very much for that and
[1:28:23] then we only have a couple more items on the agenda and then we'll get back to public
[1:28:27] comment
[1:29:24] okay didn't that York do you like to come forward our next item is item 4.07
[1:29:33] opioid awareness presentation and I'll have you introduce you over other presenters yes
[1:29:41] Chair Kimmel Sioux and Board Members, I'm Danet York, I'm the Director for the County Public Health and I am happy to bring this item to you upon request from one of the Board members.
[1:29:52] This is going to be a presentation by some members of Health Management Associates Community Strategies.
[1:30:00] And what they're going to be presenting on is, well, let me introduce, this is Litty, and Anna is with us too, but she has lost her voice. So she's not going to be speaking, but Litty is a principle with help management associates and they're here to present information on the community overdose prevention efforts project. Commonly called COPE. We love our acronyms, as you know.
[1:30:26] In addition to Lydian Anna, we have our community health division director Monica Sorderstrom
[1:30:33] and some staff and interns here that are working on this project.
[1:30:37] Monica is here to answer any specific questions you have about the county project that is happening.
[1:30:44] But Lydian is going to give you the high level overview of what this project does.
[1:30:49] With that, I will turn it over to Lydian to take over.
[1:30:52] does have a PowerPoint, and I'm sure the clerk will help her move the slides along.
[1:31:00] Yeah, just go ahead and turn that until a screen.
[1:31:02] Thanks, sir.
[1:31:03] Great.
[1:31:03] Good morning.
[1:31:04] Nice to be here.
[1:31:05] Board of Supervisors.
[1:31:06] It's an honor.
[1:31:08] So, as Danette said, I am Lydia Garcia-Bonywell, and I am a principal with Health Management
[1:31:15] Associates, come to you all the way from Baltimore, Maryland.
[1:31:18] Go, Ravens.
[1:31:21] So, I just wanted to thank you for pulling up the PowerPoint, I'm going to be brief and hopefully
[1:31:28] we'll be able to have any time for comments at the end.
[1:31:31] If you want to go ahead to the next slide.
[1:31:34] So, we have been hired through the Department of Healthcare Services here in California to work in several counties.
[1:31:42] specifically those counties that have high burdened with the overdose crisis to build
[1:31:48] capacities on how to respond. So if you go to the next slide, I'm going to show you the
[1:31:52] counties in which we're working. Buet Mendocino, Yuba, Sutter, Nevada, Medera, Kern and
[1:31:59] Shasta. Next slide, please.
[1:32:04] So I want to, I love this picture, but go to the next slide,
[1:32:06] why, Buet County. So when you look at the data, where obviously very data driven, this
[1:32:13] comes from the California Surveillance Dashboard.
[1:32:19] And you look at any opioid-related overdose death.
[1:32:22] And you can see that Bute County is way high up there.
[1:32:27] The red line shows where California is.
[1:32:30] And you can see that Bute County is way above the opioid-related
[1:32:36] overdose death rate.
[1:32:39] And just underneath San Francisco.
[1:32:41] So, just wanted to point that out. This was data from 2022. If you go to the next slide, I want to be more specific here.
[1:32:50] The good news is that the line represents the prescription opioids.
[1:32:56] And as you all know, Duke County has worked really hard at reducing the number of prescriptions,
[1:33:01] meaning from providers, specifically for opioids.
[1:33:05] So that line has gone up. Unfortunately, you'll see that the death rate represented in the blue bar continues to climb.
[1:33:14] And this again is the opioid-related deaths. If you go to the next slide.
[1:33:20] So why we chose View County? There was a 439% increase in opioid-related overdose deaths from 2019 to 2021.
[1:33:29] We met with leadership here and we identified that there was some strong public health leadership
[1:33:35] and an infrastructure with the Glenn Bute opioid safety coalition that was run by Healthy
[1:33:41] World California.
[1:33:43] And so we interviewed and chose to come to Bute County to provide some capacity building.
[1:33:50] The next one was this, we used some very high levels statistical analysis to show that Bute
[1:33:57] score decrease from 2019 to 2021 from 2021 to 3. So that was another indicator that was
[1:34:05] important to come to view the county. If you go to the next slide, I want to talk a little
[1:34:08] bit about what this is. The key concepts of cope are there's four. One is to prepare for an opioid
[1:34:16] related Sentinel event. So as the drug supply changes, so anytime there's an interruption in the
[1:34:24] apply, you'll have increased numbers of our fentanyl that comes into a drug supply.
[1:34:30] And so that could impact Chico State, it could impact anyone who is using even a naive
[1:34:40] user who thinks they're using one substance and it's actually got fentanyl in it.
[1:34:44] And so in order to prepare for any kind of a sentinel related event, we're doing a tabletop
[1:34:50] exercises to bring all of the sectors together, social services, behavioral health, public health,
[1:34:57] the first responders, hospitals, et cetera, to come together to say, in a time when there's
[1:35:02] an increase in our spike at overdoses, how will we respond? And what will we do? How will we
[1:35:08] communicate this to the public? How will we communicate this to the people who are most impacted?
[1:35:14] We will always be using real-time data to drive interventions, and I'm going to show that to you
[1:35:19] second, but what areas in Bukh County are most impacted, and how do we ensure we go into
[1:35:24] those areas? We're going to, obviously, our focus is preventing opioid disorder to begin with,
[1:35:29] and then also using what we call community co-design. Even though we're working in several other
[1:35:35] counties in California, it is really clear that Bukh County is very specific and very distinct and
[1:35:41] different from Nevada County, Ubicet or Shasta, which are the other counties I'm specifically working in.
[1:35:45] So we depend on our locals to help drive some of the interventions that will work here in
[1:35:50] View County.
[1:35:52] Next slide, please.
[1:35:54] So these are some of the team members coalition in DP partners.
[1:35:59] You can see that right now they're 26 NDP means an Alexa distribution partner.
[1:36:04] So these organizations, some of these organizations are actually actively distributing
[1:36:08] an Alexa on which is here.
[1:36:10] And I'll show that to you in a second.
[1:36:11] summer or collaborators. I would say the key stakeholders that are in the box and orange are obviously healthy rural California
[1:36:19] And they're here today just in here in the back and then
[1:36:24] But county public health and they are also here all three of them are here as well
[1:36:28] So we meet with them frequently and they are key stakeholders in this effort if you go to the next slide
[1:36:34] So I want to just cover real quick the successes today. Everyone likes to hear about this
[1:36:39] So we are continuously developing the Action Plan,
[1:36:42] again, developed in case I'm an opioid-related
[1:36:44] Sentinel event, and we're actually spending four hours
[1:36:47] today on updating that and bringing about 30, 35 people
[1:36:50] together to be reviewing this Action Plan.
[1:36:53] We're also actively using something called ODMAP,
[1:36:56] which is their surveillance system.
[1:36:58] So created by high intensity drug trafficking agency,
[1:37:01] we can find out real time where the overdoses are happening
[1:37:03] in Bute County.
[1:37:05] And not only can we find out where they're happening
[1:37:07] and target our interventions,
[1:37:08] but we can also get alerted when there's a Sentinel event,
[1:37:12] so a higher level of opioids.
[1:37:16] We've hired a part-time cook coordinator,
[1:37:18] which has also been amazing.
[1:37:20] They're boots on the ground, including an intern
[1:37:21] that is here today.
[1:37:23] We're actively working with Chico State University student interns.
[1:37:26] There's four of them.
[1:37:27] There's public health interns and prevention interns.
[1:37:30] We met within yesterday and did a bunch of outreach
[1:37:32] and it was incredible in terms of the work that they're doing
[1:37:35] and building capacity.
[1:37:37] We're obviously tracking the Luxembourg distribution by Zipcode to ensure the entire county reaches saturation.
[1:37:44] And obviously, with the help of our coordinator and intern, the facilitating monthly work groups with our non-oxone distribution partners.
[1:37:51] Next slide, please.
[1:37:53] I want to point out how important it is to use data.
[1:37:56] So this is specifically Bute County.
[1:37:58] Again, this is on the overdose surveillance dashboard.
[1:38:01] and you can see in the darker areas that's where the high-burden areas are, and so you can
[1:38:07] see, I think that's Megalia and also South Oraville that are highlighted there in the dark
[1:38:15] burgundy. And again that's sort of an area that we're really being mindful of. The other thing you'll
[1:38:22] see on the map on the right is South Oraville that's fentanyl related overdoses and not just opioid
[1:38:29] related and you'll see that that area has been greatly impacted by fentanyl as well.
[1:38:34] Next slide please.
[1:38:36] This is the work that we're doing.
[1:38:38] This is a live dashboard so it's real time and you can see what we're trying to do is we're
[1:38:42] mapping by zip code where Naloxone is being distributed so that we're hitting saturation.
[1:38:47] I want to point out on the left was taken back in the summer and then the one on the
[1:38:52] right was taken just the other day.
[1:38:54] And you can see there are areas in the areas where there's green that shows that those
[1:38:58] areas have been effectively saturated with naloxone.
[1:39:02] And what that means is when you distribute enough naloxone, then you'll start seeing reduction
[1:39:07] in overdoses.
[1:39:09] And when we say distribution of naloxone, this is for lay people.
[1:39:12] This isn't for EMS providers, this isn't for clinicians, whatever it's for lay people.
[1:39:17] And then you'll see the circle in red.
[1:39:19] We still have a hit that area, which is my galia.
[1:39:22] And that area is a focus of ours to ensure that that area has been saturated.
[1:39:26] it. Next slide, please. So real quick. I believe that the
[1:39:32] Southside Community Improvement Group has done a great job in
[1:39:36] Southland. Met with them several times. They're out there talking to
[1:39:40] people. They are absolutely amazing. And that's what made the difference,
[1:39:45] right? 100%. Their efforts have made a complete difference in the
[1:39:48] work. Yeah. Yes. Yes. They've done amazing. Amazing work.
[1:39:54] So, the plans.
[1:39:56] We're going to continue to partner and collaborate with all Naloxone distribution partners and ensure coordination of efforts.
[1:40:02] We're going to be tracking distribution by Zipcode and saturating the most highly burdensip codes in View County.
[1:40:07] We're going to continue to work with the Chico State and have the Student Driven Volunteer Corps that can support community based Naloxone distribution.
[1:40:16] Obviously identifying additional funding to ensure efforts are sustained and overall we want to reduce overdose fatalities.
[1:40:23] I want to just point out, and I know I've shown this to some of you, and each of these
[1:40:27] kits, which we distribute widely, there are two Noxone sprays, it's Narcan.
[1:40:35] And if you haven't seen it, this is what can save an overdose, right?
[1:40:38] So we were distributing this yesterday at fraternities on Chico State where they were having
[1:40:43] brush week, and I've never seen such great receptivity.
[1:40:47] So basically if someone has taken something that is created a situation where they have
[1:40:52] up breathing, they have recognized that they are in an overdose situation, they lie them on
[1:40:58] the back, tilt their chin up, and they administer one of these dark hands sprays, just
[1:41:02] like flow nays, right, into one of their nostrils.
[1:41:05] Lay them on their side, rescue position, call 911, don't leave the scene, they're protected
[1:41:10] by the good Sam law.
[1:41:12] So they stay and after three to five minutes that they have not started breathing again,
[1:41:17] you do the next one on the other side.
[1:41:20] And so we are training a lot of lay people again how to use this and how to make sure that they are feeling comfortable on how to actually use this as a lay person.
[1:41:32] That is my presentation. I don't want to take credit for this though. We are here to build the local capacity.
[1:41:39] And so as you can see the Monica sitting right next to me has been an incredible advocate for this program and is really building the capacity.
[1:41:47] We have Anna and Justin in the back and of course the net has been really in support of this we hope to be here for another
[1:41:55] Few years to build this capacity, but I'm really starting to see a difference and so I really thank you for your time today.
[1:42:01] Thank you for what you do
[1:42:05] I'm gonna ask everybody it's involved in with with this to please stand up so we can give you a round of applause. It's
[1:42:12] It's so important
[1:42:16] There we go.
[1:42:21] But let's can we go back to that first slide real quick or show it.
[1:42:26] Fortunately, we were right below San Francisco.
[1:42:31] I read the San Francisco Chronicle every Sunday.
[1:42:34] I buy that paper just to see what's going on.
[1:42:37] And I think it was two Sundays ago on the front page of the paper.
[1:42:41] Maybe some of you saw that.
[1:42:43] They had the names of over 600 people that had died from overdoses.
[1:42:46] I don't know if it was just opioids or fentanyl or what it was, but to think that and we're
[1:42:52] not that far behind, so it's a really, it's an epidemic, something we need to really,
[1:43:01] from
[1:43:02] Baltimore, we help you come out often to see if it's going to, and thank you for coming today.
[1:43:10] There's that great slide. That's not where we want to be.
[1:43:14] So, my first question, Litty was related to, you know, we have the list of all of the counties that are partnering.
[1:43:25] How are those, how are those counties chosen? Because, you know, I noticed that something like Nevada County,
[1:43:33] which is below the state average, is one of the kind of pilot programs.
[1:43:38] programs, and so I was curious about how that came to be the 7 or 8 programs that we're chosen.
[1:43:45] Yeah, and so we used it, we used data to choose all of them. So we first looked at data,
[1:43:52] probably got down to about 20 counties, and then we did a bunch of interviews and really started
[1:44:00] to think about receptivity in the county.
[1:44:05] We got last December, we were choosing
[1:44:08] between Shasta and Viewed.
[1:44:10] And we ended up choosing Viewed because the infrastructure
[1:44:14] was here, and it was ready to go.
[1:44:16] And about 10 months later, Shasta started getting ready.
[1:44:20] And so we were able to move into Shasta.
[1:44:22] But there was a certain, there was using data
[1:44:24] to be able to identify counties that have high burden,
[1:44:27] that haven't really received a lot of the dollars
[1:44:29] in the state, right? So the Department of Healthcare Services clearly has a lot of dollars from
[1:44:36] SAMHSA and they're going to places that are high like SAMHSA's go in LA and places that are
[1:44:44] urban that have a lot of infrastructure to be able to pull together and get the funding. And so
[1:44:49] our model has really been going into more remote areas, smaller populated counties, and to build
[1:44:56] that capacity, so that over time they too will be able to...
[1:45:00] Get more dollars from the state and from the federal government.
[1:45:03] And so we started a Uba Sutter and then Madera and then we expanded to the other counties in
[1:45:07] next year of Oaks Band of Four More.
[1:45:10] Thank you.
[1:45:10] And I know that this is through our public health.
[1:45:13] But I also know that we are, we partner with our behavioral health department.
[1:45:17] I've received the actual training during a behavioral health advisory board meeting.
[1:45:24] And those people who participated in the continuum of care.
[1:45:26] This is the second day in a row.
[1:45:27] we've received an informational on this.
[1:45:32] And I'm just curious if you can talk
[1:45:34] or Monica, if you can talk about the partnership
[1:45:36] and what outreach looks like with our behavioral health
[1:45:40] department.
[1:45:44] Sure, yeah, the list, and maybe you
[1:45:46] could look at the slide that has all the different partners
[1:45:48] that we have.
[1:45:52] Although this came to us through public health,
[1:45:55] we already have had a long standing relationship
[1:45:59] between public health and behavioral health related to the
[1:46:03] but Glenn Opewate Safety Coalition, we serve together on the
[1:46:08] executive committee for that coalition, and we they have been
[1:46:13] absolutely involved with this.
[1:46:16] But Connie behavioral health was one of our first recipients of
[1:46:19] Naloxone back in 2018 when we received it through a grant for
[1:46:25] local EMS and behavioral health.
[1:46:28] So public health received the initial 1800 boxes in the lock zone.
[1:46:33] And we helped make sure that all EMS had the training
[1:46:38] and a policy in place so that officers would be able to carry it.
[1:46:43] And behavioral health was trained so that they could provide it to clients.
[1:46:47] And that's how the lock zone began in our county.
[1:46:50] And if you all recall in early 2019, when we had our first Sentinel event in Chico, and then
[1:47:00] Chief O'Brien, who's now a commander O'Brien, was very proud that his team of officers
[1:47:08] were already equipped with Naloxone and probably saved at least 10 lives that morning.
[1:47:15] So our partnership with Behavioral Health and AMS goes way back.
[1:47:19] And now we're part of Hyda, which Litty described, and that's a partnership between public
[1:47:25] safety and public health.
[1:47:28] And so, Commander O'Brien is also very involved with the work that we're doing.
[1:47:36] Supervisor Derfey, as a police officer, anything you want to comment on, is this something
[1:47:41] you've seen work in your line of work?
[1:47:47] Probably.
[1:47:49] I've distributed anywhere from 10 to 15 times myself.
[1:47:53] And, my only concern, obviously, is about the people that are administering it, because I would say eight out of ten times that I've administered the person comes out of fight, and they're angry.
[1:48:07] And if they're not trained or they're not right, they could get hurt.
[1:48:10] So, obviously, we don't want the latter, but just so people are aware that are receiving this.
[1:48:15] when you use it, these people will come out angry.
[1:48:20] And they don't know where they are.
[1:48:22] They just literally died in front of you.
[1:48:24] And I've had many people that I've distributed to.
[1:48:28] One guy I remember took four doses.
[1:48:31] And ultimately, he came out ready to pound me.
[1:48:37] But he lived.
[1:48:39] So while this is an epidemic that's going on through our
[1:48:44] state or a country.
[1:48:48] While this is important, we have to continue to educate and
[1:48:52] regards to, you know, using fentanyl and the opioid, it's an
[1:48:56] orderly what it comes down to, it's an addiction.
[1:48:59] We know that.
[1:49:01] So we have to continue to try to educate folks on, you know,
[1:49:04] I mean, I've seen people that have used four or five different
[1:49:09] times they've gone out and come back.
[1:49:12] So they're not learning from their mistakes, which is a
[1:49:14] problem.
[1:49:15] So, that's, I mean, while this is important, we still have to continue to focus on the education portion of it.
[1:49:22] Thank you for that.
[1:49:24] And one of the things that we train lay people to do is, like, there's like, what we see in
[1:49:30] Buch County is that there's two distinct type of users, right?
[1:49:32] You have the naive user, which could be typically high school college kid in, you know,
[1:49:47] and more people are aware of that, and so being able to have
[1:49:51] Narcan available, all the fraternity houses now want it,
[1:49:55] to be able to have it at a party, et cetera.
[1:49:58] Then there's those that have actual addiction,
[1:50:00] and they have potentially seeking opioids and seeking
[1:50:03] fentanyl.
[1:50:04] And so that's a whole different population that we're seeing.
[1:50:07] So there's two different populations.
[1:50:09] When we train late people, one of the things that we do
[1:50:12] is we make sure that they just use one for a milligram nasal spray, put them in a recovery
[1:50:17] position, which is away from you. So they're not going to choke on their vomit, but also
[1:50:22] if they do come out alert that they're away from them. And I think it's been, and waiting,
[1:50:29] at least that two to three minutes until you give the next one. We've had been told that
[1:50:36] And there have been heavy amounts of fentanyl in the supply where they need more than two.
[1:50:43] And so again it's just waiting the appropriate amount of time but hopefully the massive
[1:50:46] rivings that they can sort of help take over their response.
[1:50:50] But thank you for that.
[1:50:52] Yeah, thank you for those comments.
[1:50:53] Appreciate it.
[1:50:55] Okay.
[1:50:56] Public comment.
[1:50:57] We have one card from 2003.
[1:51:02] Yeah, the reason for my putting a public comment here is I was hoping there'd be more information
[1:51:06] about where the fentanyl's coming from.
[1:51:08] So, um, and maybe this is a different agenda item or for a future topic because we've got a president who's opened up our southern border and we've got fentanyl pouring over the border.
[1:51:16] Um, and I don't know if there's anything we can do other than writing a letter through Jane Scalagher's office to address the issue, but it's going to get worse and worse and worse.
[1:51:24] Is there some education outreach we can do to the community to show them what are these pills look like?
[1:51:28] Where do they come from? Can we as a community get a report from the sheriff on how many people we busted with a bunch of drugs in their possession?
[1:51:35] And then we know that there's an active, you know, process to actually bust these people and then the DA to hold them accountable, etc.
[1:51:42] Because we got to address a criminal action before we just bang on the people that are trying to get some pain relief.
[1:51:47] Number two, I just was listening to this and heard about prescription management.
[1:51:51] And that really upset me because I had dental surgery four weeks ago.
[1:51:54] Surprise dental surgery out of toothbrush break off.
[1:51:57] And I go to the dentist and I have to have a whole drill in my skull and have bone graft put in to prepare for a dental implant.
[1:52:04] I leave there with a prescription for antibiotics and one for pain meds.
[1:52:08] I go to CVS. We don't have any. What are you talking about? You don't have any.
[1:52:12] Well, where else do I go? We can't tell you because we can't share information with other
[1:52:15] CVSs. I'm going in two hours. I'm going to have a searing
[1:52:18] praying up the side of my face because the anesthesia is wearing off. What do I do?
[1:52:23] Call the dentist. I'm calling Dr. Gary Johnson going. I can't find pain meds in
[1:52:26] Chico. Oh, yeah. There's a national shortage of pain medication. Really? Are you kidding
[1:52:31] They called five places to try to get me payment. I finally was able to get one prescription for a coating with Tylenol
[1:52:37] Which is not really good thing for my liver's the Tylenol, but okay. I'll take it. I was this close to walking down town
[1:52:44] Driving downtown take a new-brow downtown and finding that and I'll on the street or something because I've got a searing pain
[1:52:50] So you've got to be honest about the fact that requiring and restricting normal good human beings from getting pain meds after their surgery
[1:52:58] is a potential problem that I'm going to go I literally almost want to get some CBD and I didn't even know what I was doing
[1:53:04] I'm literally going to walk into a dispensary cheek and go give me whatever you got here to eat or or snort or whatever because I'm going to be in pain
[1:53:10] And my doctor can't get this pain that feels three years ago. I had a broken rib. I go to ammo
[1:53:16] You've got two cracked ribs. Here's five pills five more copils great. What do I do after that? I can't breathe
[1:53:22] I get Gabby Patton guess what I landed in ammo for Gabby Patton overdose reaction and I wasn't taking anymore in the prescribed
[1:53:28] So again holding your doctors and you know you guys get interfering in pain medication for good human beings that are coming out of surgery
[1:53:35] You know they get fat and all for surgery like it's not just fentanyl drug street
[1:53:39] I didn't even know this people behind me might know this you get fentanyl in surgery
[1:53:43] So you come out of there. You want to pay medication to help you recover
[1:53:46] So please do something about that. Thank you
[1:53:49] Yeah, other public comment
[1:53:53] Yes, sir
[1:53:54] Good morning good
[1:53:58] morning
[1:54:00] about. Thank you. Perfect. Perfect.
[1:54:02] One to thank you for this form in this space. I mean, this is just absolutely beautiful
[1:54:07] and this crew have done a wonderful job. I've had the pleasure working with the net for
[1:54:11] a lot of years and what since she came and we're just so thankful. It hit personally
[1:54:17] with me and thank you. Supervisor Peter for just sharing, you know, just the response
[1:54:27] you get some time. People come out of these situations very angry. It's not
[1:54:31] them. So this is why we started operation a live on. And, you know, we know
[1:54:36] that the mental component is tied into this as well. Why would somebody take
[1:54:40] something that could, you know, take them off it's so final? I personally lost three
[1:54:44] nephews in a matter of four months. That's the statistics of so high and we
[1:54:50] added to that in my family. So it's not just going and talking with a family that
[1:54:55] so happen to be your family. But also happen to utilize these young men. One case, nephew,
[1:55:02] just graduated, walked across the stage that night. I had already tested at the top of this
[1:55:07] class in the Air Force and the Army. I just wanted to celebrate what Samarwana wrote up
[1:55:13] of Samarwana's day, smoked it. It was full of fit. No, he said in the coma for nine, nine weeks
[1:55:18] and he passed. He's to come to it. So we just want to thank you for just shining the light on this.
[1:55:23] And until we get the border controls situated, we just want people to know that with operation
[1:55:29] live on and all these other wonderful groups that have taken up this calls to just give
[1:55:35] our people enough time to do the Norrcan and education just to give them opportunity to live
[1:55:42] on that they might stand for that put it at one at some point and make a decision not to use
[1:55:46] drugs anymore.
[1:55:48] So this is where we are in our community, we got to deal with it and we decided to take
[1:55:52] head on with all of these wonderful groups. I just want to dip my hat to each and every one of you
[1:55:57] for just allowing us this opportunity to space it conform. I'll say keep up the great work,
[1:56:02] all of you guys. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Any other comments?
[1:56:09] Okay. With that, we'll close public comment and this was from information only. Correct? No,
[1:56:13] actually needed. Okay. Thank you for that great presentation.
[1:56:21] Okay. Now we're going to go to item 4.08
[1:56:24] consideration to adopt the beauty county recharge action plan and we'll have
[1:56:30] Camilo sir and assistant director of water and natural and resources
[1:56:35] Christina Buck. Thank you both for being here. All right. Thank you chair Kim
[1:56:40] Bullshue members of the board. Camilo sir your director of water and resource
[1:56:43] conservation and we are bringing the consideration of the recharge action plan
[1:56:49] before you today. So just as a reminder, before I turn it over to Christina, I'll just give
[1:56:54] a background. So just as a reminder, on June 27th, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved
[1:57:01] a letter to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Office of the Department of Water Resources
[1:57:07] in Sacramento in response to Governor Newsom's Executive Order N423, which made it easier for
[1:57:16] agencies to divert flood water to recharge groundwater.
[1:57:22] In the letter, but county communicated its approach and intent to pursue enhanced natural
[1:57:27] recharge in the county.
[1:57:28] In addition, the letter outlined a series of activities to pursue including the creation
[1:57:33] of a but county groundwater recharge action plan, which I'll refer to as that action plan.
[1:57:40] And staff worked with an ad hoc committee of both the but county water commission and
[1:57:44] technical advisory committee to draft the plan.
[1:57:48] On December 6th, 2023, the water commission
[1:57:52] considered the final draft plan and unanimously
[1:57:55] recommended that the board approved and adopted.
[1:57:58] The plan identifies five mean actions with a company
[1:58:01] implementation steps that the county will pursue
[1:58:05] in partnership with the groundwater sustainability agencies
[1:58:08] and other agencies and organizations within the county.
[1:58:14] If approve the recharge action plan will be shared with the Department of Water Resources to further communicate the county's intent to advance recharge activities and to support our request for additional technical assistance and funding to aid local agencies and the county in our recharge efforts.
[1:58:31] I just want to add that assistant director Beck has really led this effort along with the
[1:58:39] technical advisory and water commission at Hock and so working on drafting the plan
[1:58:44] and setting the recharge goal as well as the actions.
[1:58:49] So I appreciate her taking on this effort and with that I will turn it over to Christina.
[1:58:55] Great.
[1:58:55] Good morning, Chair.
[1:58:56] Kimmel Shew, members of Board, Christina Beck, Assistant Director with Department of Water
[1:59:00] and Resource Conservation.
[1:59:01] It's my pleasure to give you an overview of the recharge action plan this morning, and
[1:59:06] so I'll just dive right into it.
[1:59:09] You can slide.
[1:59:10] So really the objective of this plan was to put to paper ideas that some of which we've been
[1:59:15] talking about for a long time in our county and kind of in the local water world and organize
[1:59:20] those thoughts to set a recharge goal and to focus the conversation with actionable recommendations.
[1:59:28] What are the next steps that we can take to move some of these ideas from ideas to really
[1:59:34] evaluating the costs of them, the benefits, the barriers, the opportunities.
[1:59:39] So we also wanted to document the existing resources and what we've learned today.
[1:59:45] There's been a lot of focus on recharge really over the last eight to ten years statewide,
[1:59:49] and then it really came into the spotlight last year with the very wet year in the flooding
[1:59:54] that occurred in the Southern Central Valley. And so this is just a good opportunity to kind of
[2:00:01] Reorganize where we are today, kind of locally with the studies that we've done in recent years through our office and through others to understand what are kind of what's our current understanding of recharge processes and what are the opportunities.
[2:00:15] We wanted to generally keep it kind of brief and concise, like I said, to focus the conversation and give us a launching point to know what those next steps could be.
[2:00:25] So again, big thank you to the ad hoc committee members, these folks, each committee, the water commission and the technical advisory committee formed an ad hoc committee and they met jointly a couple of times and those discussions really shaped the framework of the document and the content.
[2:00:40] So thanks to these folks that gave their time for that and the process that then went to
[2:00:48] the Technical Advisory Committee overall and they provided additional input and the water
[2:00:53] commission in December. So yeah, really a good, lots of good conversations that then
[2:00:59] many of them were kind of documented in this recharge action plan. Next slide, please.
[2:01:05] So quick overview of the outline. Again, just kind of frames up the introduction. Why are we
[2:01:09] getting a recharge goal and I'll get into that a little bit more documenting and building
[2:01:14] on a foundation.
[2:01:15] We're not starting from scratch, right?
[2:01:17] What's the foundation of recent work and current data?
[2:01:20] Really addressing this idea too of recharge in our neighboring sub basins and if we recharge
[2:01:24] here, are we just going to lose it kind of across the line from one sub basin to the next.
[2:01:30] And then it outlines taking action these five action steps and we'll go over those.
[2:01:36] Also recognizing that when we're talking about groundwater sustainability and groundwater management,
[2:01:42] a recharge is going to be a big part of the solution, but as well, conservation,
[2:01:46] reduction of demand and land and management strategies.
[2:01:49] So we wanted to acknowledge that in this plan, consider who's going to take on these actions.
[2:01:54] Some of them can be through beauty county efforts.
[2:01:57] Others will be through other partnering agencies, the groundwater sustainability agencies and other organizations.
[2:02:03] and then identifying what are these near-term opportunities and we'll talk about some of that as well.
[2:02:09] It's the next slide.
[2:02:10] So motivation, you know, this is a beauty county recharge action plan, but very quickly we begin focusing in on the vina sub basin.
[2:02:18] And there is opportunity for continued creative groundwater management and water resource management in the other two sub basins, but it's vina that really has a problem as evidenced both by our estimates
[2:02:33] of groundwater demand and reduced groundwater storage, but also the monitoring of groundwater
[2:02:39] levels that we do throughout the county and throughout the finest of basin, where we
[2:02:43] have seen new historical lows in the most recent drought years.
[2:02:48] They get a little bit of a bump during our wet years, but overall, and we'll see a graph on
[2:02:52] the next side, but overall this decline of groundwater levels and groundwater storage, at least
[2:02:58] portions of the sub basin, right?
[2:03:00] Some areas are stable, there is a wide variety of conditions, but not only that, so this
[2:03:06] kind of estimated annual decline of about 20,000 acre feet per year, but overall that's
[2:03:12] added up to over a half a million acre feet.
[2:03:15] So there is kind of this potential space in the aquifer for water to refill and bring those water
[2:03:21] levels and those groundwater levels back up to historically higher conditions.
[2:03:26] The other piece is recognizing that as climate warms and temperatures go up, there's an increased
[2:03:33] demand just from warmer temperatures.
[2:03:35] And so even if our crop mix and our land use footprint remains the same because of these
[2:03:40] warming temperatures, we may expect to see a 7 to 10% increase in demand.
[2:03:45] So there's a reason to be thinking creatively about how we manage groundwater both on the
[2:03:56] So here's the graph has lots of information, the different color bars, or what year dry
[2:04:00] years.
[2:04:01] So what years are blue, and of course the oranges and reds are the drought years.
[2:04:06] The solid line is our estimate of groundwater pumping.
[2:04:08] So we see that that goes up and down over the last 20 years or so largely also driven by
[2:04:14] these wet and dry year cycles.
[2:04:16] But the dotted line over time that has this bumpy and yet downward trend is our estimate
[2:04:21] of groundwater in storage.
[2:04:23] And that mirrors the groundwater levels that we see in monitoring wells.
[2:04:27] So kind of evidenced by a couple different filter water budget approach, kind of adding things up and seeing that the sub basin appears to be out of balance but also looking at monitoring wells in the data that we see throughout the county in some monitoring wells have a similar pattern.
[2:04:43] So that really drives this goal of 20,000 acre feet per year, kind of mirroring the downward decline.
[2:04:50] But we recognize that in some years there will be little opportunity for additional recharge,
[2:04:55] right? Very dry years. And other years we'll bring much more. But even within a dry year,
[2:05:00] there may be wet periods, right? We could have a very intense rain event or rain storm
[2:05:04] within a drought year. And we want to be able to slow that water down and give it opportunities
[2:05:09] to spread out and so can too. So thinking about wet periods not just this idea of wet and dry
[2:05:16] years. Next slide, please. So I'll just go through the five main actions that are highlighted.
[2:05:23] Each action in the report has kind of the next implementation steps to to pursue and kind of
[2:05:29] move that that action down the line. The first is spreading out and slowing down flood flows.
[2:05:34] So the topic here is flood flows and this is what really was driven last year by the extreme
[2:05:39] flooding events that largely happened in other parts of the state. And the opportunity that
[2:05:44] think differently and more creatively and the more interconnected way between flood managers,
[2:05:49] drought managers and groundwater managers.
[2:05:51] There's an opportunity for that.
[2:05:53] We do that some already between county departments that kind of work in these places,
[2:05:58] but more opportunity for our department to coordinate with others.
[2:06:03] Looking for opportunities to spread flood waters on working aglands.
[2:06:06] This has been an area of research and pilot studies in other parts of the state,
[2:06:11] especially so what might make sense for land up here and where our agricultural lands open to that and what are the concerns and barriers and then also slowing the flow in the lower foot hill range land areas
[2:06:26] We can think about the rock creek sand creek system up there and and is there an opportunity for kind of multi benefit addressing flood concerns as well as having some benefit to the sub basin.
[2:06:38] The second action is this idea of retaining stormwater runoff on agricultural field.
[2:06:44] So under any kind of rain event, if there's runoff off of an ag field, can we put in a
[2:06:48] ditch or expand a ditch that just allows that water to soak in rather than entering
[2:06:53] already swollen channels during these storm events.
[2:06:57] So what's the potential for that?
[2:06:59] How much does it cost as it makes sense?
[2:07:01] Does it produce enough recharge water for that to be done at a larger scale?
[2:07:07] those are some of the next steps for that idea. Next slide please. Number three is to manage flows
[2:07:13] in natural channels to increase recharge. The main example of this would be Linda Channel,
[2:07:18] a flood channel in Chico, right? That already during storm events, big Chico Creek,
[2:07:22] swells, and moves some of its flow into Linda Channel. It's an important flood control facility.
[2:07:28] Is there an opportunity for water to go down Linda Channel more often or for a longer
[2:07:33] periods of time and just by doing that, some additional recharge
[2:07:36] to get a current in that system.
[2:07:38] So there may be other opportunities like that in other parts
[2:07:41] of the county as well, but we do have some great money
[2:07:45] to pursue that idea and flush that out a little bit more.
[2:07:48] Actually number four is to maximize use of existing
[2:07:51] and underutilized surface water supplies.
[2:07:53] The idea here is whenever possible,
[2:07:56] if there's a surface water supply that could be used
[2:07:58] for irrigation or water or to meet a water demand,
[2:08:01] we should do that when it makes economical sense and we can get that water there.
[2:08:06] So this and would involve in many places that are already dependent on groundwater,
[2:08:11] putting in dual source systems where a grower could use surface water when it's available,
[2:08:16] or use their groundwater pump when needed. And so there's been some work in this area already
[2:08:22] and we can build on a previous report that was done in, I believe, 2017.
[2:08:28] And when we're talking about this, we're not talking about new water supplies, right?
[2:08:32] We often think about, we're already maxed out, where is this new water going to come from?
[2:08:36] They report identifies some of those potential sources, so we're talking about kind of underutilized
[2:08:41] existing water rights that water districts, like the Feather River, the Verders already have,
[2:08:47] Table A could be one of them, Myisine could be another, and just looking at what are the
[2:08:53] these to use those existing water supplies locally. And then the last and final action is an
[2:08:59] important one related to policy and really recognizing that when you recharge water into the ground,
[2:09:08] if it's if you have a surface water right to recharge that water, it does remain surface water
[2:09:13] and owned by the entity that put it there. The exception to that that has been clarified really
[2:09:19] through the executive order and now in the water code
[2:09:21] is related to those flood flows.
[2:09:23] So if we're operating under this flood flow piece,
[2:09:26] the water code is very specific that the entity
[2:09:29] that's putting those flood flows
[2:09:32] or creating opportunity for that flood flow
[2:09:34] to make it into this groundwater sub basin
[2:09:36] does not claim a water right.
[2:09:38] So any type of project that we pursue,
[2:09:40] we need to be really aware of what those concerns
[2:09:43] are and the legal implications of those recharge efforts.
[2:09:47] So, next slide, the last piece is it's great to put together an action plan that has
[2:09:52] lots of steps.
[2:09:54] It's even better to have some money to start doing those steps.
[2:09:57] And so we do have the vinyl groundwater sustainability agency, has a grant that can start
[2:10:03] to advance some of these ideas, specifically the surface water supply and recharge feasibility
[2:10:08] study, can begin to explore what surface water is available and does it make sense to try
[2:10:14] recharge it doesn't make sense to try to use it as irrigation supply and you can see some of the
[2:10:20] other opportunities through those grain monies. So that's really exciting. I also want to mention
[2:10:25] that most of this work will is kind of land based, right? It's going to happen on the parcel scale.
[2:10:32] And so really inviting landowners who are curious or interested in this or want to participate
[2:10:37] inviting them to contact us and as these projects kind of get going in the next couple of months
[2:10:43] and then over the next couple of years to let us know if they want to just track it or if they want
[2:10:48] to be involved or if they're willing to be a participant.
[2:10:52] Next slide, I think I'm just proud of that.
[2:10:55] So with that welcome direction or adoption question.
[2:11:01] Just before you before your questions, I know there's a couple folks here that were on the
[2:11:05] ad hoc committee if they'd stand up real quick.
[2:11:09] Yeah, you're any washing time?
[2:11:11] Okay, Mr. Washington, would you like to comment at all?
[2:11:14] Just give you an opportunity?
[2:11:16] Yeah, thank you very much.
[2:11:17] I appreciate you being here.
[2:11:18] And I appreciate the fact that you took the time to work on this.
[2:11:22] Go ahead and turn that microphone on if you would.
[2:11:24] Thank you.
[2:11:25] Get that.
[2:11:26] That's okay.
[2:11:27] Any Washington?
[2:11:28] I have a member of the water commission.
[2:11:32] I have probably, during my tenure, which has been an excess of 10 years,
[2:11:36] I think this document's probably one of the most positive things that we've done.
[2:11:40] And I was really glad to serve on the ad hoc committee and I want to thank the members of the department and particularly Christina for putting together a really good document and I hope you'll see the benefit in it and we can do something sooner rather than later.
[2:12:00] Thank you for that and thank you again for your work on this.
[2:12:04] Supervisor Ritter, did you want to make some comments?
[2:12:07] Well, I had some questions, you know, we just had a very spirited local government committee meeting,
[2:12:16] talking about flood control, related to the channel and the five-mile diversion dam.
[2:12:24] I didn't hear at any point that there was grant funding that was available to study
[2:12:34] this or to address this issue and so I'm just concerned or confused as to why our public
[2:12:45] works department would not be aware of this activity happening within the county.
[2:12:54] And so I guess I want to know if you are working with public works on this particular issue.
[2:13:03] And then the other question I have, which is unrelated, is in relationship to something that Paul
[2:13:09] Yoda said when he was here, where he suggested that there might be some kind of challenge to
[2:13:15] sigma. I'm moving forward. And so I was wondering if you could give any update on that.
[2:13:24] Sure, I will say with the local government committee, I think one of the things that the department
[2:13:29] is working on getting better at is coordinating with especially public works on some of the
[2:13:35] flood control and storm water projects and things that are happening both within the county
[2:13:40] as well as even the city of Chico. I think there needs to be a little more of a collaborative
[2:13:45] effort in bringing documents and studies that both departments are working on because instead of
[2:13:52] kind of separating out flood waters from recharge from just water management that we really
[2:13:59] to take more of a multi-benefit approach to water management, including incorporating flood water
[2:14:05] and storm water into the work that we're doing, obviously, with, especially with things like
[2:14:10] recharge. So we will work with, with Director Pack, more often. And I think we started to do that
[2:14:17] even during this process where the water commission did have an opportunity to discuss even the
[2:14:24] the Nord flood study. And we had that project manager, Jessica, she came and spoke and presented
[2:14:31] that information to the water commission. In hindsight, it would have been great to have her come
[2:14:37] before that project even came to the sport so that the water commission could provide comments on
[2:14:44] that study. But we're working on kind of coordinating a little better. We haven't and working with
[2:14:50] in the city of Chico, unlike the Linda Channel project,
[2:14:53] and starting that collaboration with those entities.
[2:14:56] And even though it is within the city of Chico,
[2:14:59] what I...
[2:15:00] I think where we landed at the last meeting is the county is the maintaining agency and is responsible for most of the maintenance that needs to be done at the dam before that would even go into the channel.
[2:15:24] So, yeah, and I think that is, I know that one of their engineers at the city of Chico,
[2:15:30] David Keene has been pulling that historical data together because I think it has at different
[2:15:35] times gone back and forth between the city, the county, DWR, waterboards, and central valley
[2:15:41] flip control. So, I think hopefully we will be able to work together and collaborate a little more.
[2:15:47] But I will say we are in conversations with David Keene over at the city, and so as this work starts,
[2:15:54] We'll have some better outreach and communication and saying that one of the some of them funding from for the grant projects for that the sub basins includes an outreach component that that that that money will be shifted to the county because of the need for a more collaborative
[2:16:15] of a broader scope of outreach, including outreach to land owners to participate in
[2:16:20] recharge projects, as well as communicating with the city and other entities.
[2:16:25] So I think it's rather urgent, though, that the water department is communicating with director
[2:16:31] pack on.
[2:16:32] Like, yesterday.
[2:16:34] Like last week.
[2:16:37] Yeah.
[2:16:42] Well, the grants were obtained by the finest GSA.
[2:16:45] Yeah.
[2:16:45] Crown, yep.
[2:16:53] And wine.crete.
[2:16:55] Right, yes.
[2:16:57] Excellent opportunity to stop localized flooding and cause recharge.
[2:17:03] Really, I'd rather stop the flooding than to recharge because we're not in real decline.
[2:17:08] But if we have cooperative landowners on Wyman's ravine, for example, we could stop flooding
[2:17:12] there.
[2:17:13] If we have plurmo, we'll close flooding and we look forward to working with hopefully ranchers
[2:17:18] and farmers that will allow us to put in temporary dams.
[2:17:22] But as they've done in Orville, the stock localized flooding, there's a lot of retention
[2:17:26] ponds on a small, live-eal streams.
[2:17:29] The winter they fill up, the stock's to surge water, then it releases it slowly.
[2:17:34] There's opportunity here.
[2:17:36] I'll also note, and then probably at your March, one of your March meetings, we will
[2:17:42] be bringing contracts to the court for approval that is some of the funding that the department
[2:17:50] will be receiving from the GSA's as part of their sigma program and implementation, and if you
[2:17:58] at that point we can also provide just a more robust discussion about the projects that the
[2:18:04] department is taking on as well as the GSA's. We haven't been giving water updates as frequently
[2:18:10] as we did in the past years, mostly because it was getting repetitive and we hadn't received
[2:18:15] agreements yet from DWR, but we are now approaching the time where we can provide a more
[2:18:21] thorough discussion presentation of the projects that we will be implementing as well as
[2:18:26] the GSA's.
[2:18:27] And do you have any further information on the segment information that was given to us?
[2:18:32] I don't at this point.
[2:18:34] I will say there will end Christina May with some of the guidance criteria for the GSA's
[2:18:41] piece but nothing specific about potential changes to sigma. There were updates to the water code
[2:18:48] as Christina mentioned with regard to the flood waters and how we can use that but nothing
[2:18:54] specific for. And then you referenced the executive order and is the second executive order
[2:19:02] the N4-23 does that supplant the N7-22?
[2:19:07] Because there's nothing at the N7-22 link.
[2:19:11] Right, so the N7-22 is, was it more of a different executive order,
[2:19:16] which came more about the well-ordnance and needing approval
[2:19:20] from the GSA's for installation of wells?
[2:19:25] So, is that my gamutting thing?
[2:19:27] I think there was that one, but I think the one you're referring
[2:19:31] and we can check the link and update that.
[2:19:34] But there was the initial executive order in March,
[2:19:37] early to the flooding, and then it became clear
[2:19:39] that the San Joaquin and Teleri basins
[2:19:41] were going to continue to flood well
[2:19:42] into the summer.
[2:19:43] And so the second one extended the time specified location
[2:19:48] that it kind of derailed into that area.
[2:19:51] And so it kind of adds on.
[2:19:54] I believe they're both expired at this point
[2:19:56] and much of the language in those executive orders
[2:19:58] that had broader longer term has now been incorporated into the water code.
[2:20:03] So which executive order is current that says that whatever agency or entity is putting
[2:20:10] the water in does not claim a right to it. So the executive order has expired, but that language
[2:20:15] has landed in water code 1242 point.
[2:20:22] It's now in the water code 1242 point.
[2:20:24] flood diversion and we have the flood diversion web page in the appendix. Thank you.
[2:20:31] That is a good question because there is a future.
[2:20:33] Yeah. Who has that water? Who owns that water?
[2:20:36] Once it gets reach arched. Right.
[2:20:38] Right.
[2:20:38] That's something sounds like it still is dirty.
[2:20:41] Yeah, I think if you're operating under the criteria of this water code section now,
[2:20:46] that says you have to identify when the threshold is a local flood agency asked
[2:20:50] the Claire flood and then you can divert under a certain circumstances.
[2:20:55] is if you're doing that, then there's no claim to water right under those circumstances.
[2:21:00] Any other situation outside of that, there's a water right.
[2:21:06] That would be associated with rechargeable.
[2:21:08] And also, I'd permit suppliers to come in here about six, eight months ago.
[2:21:14] We were at the Northern Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water Management meeting, and
[2:21:20] there was a presentation, I think it was Yolo County, that has had some success.
[2:21:25] in doing these types of recharges and they're monitoring it so it's these things are not just
[2:21:31] pipe dreams I think these are things that can happen and hopefully will happen to
[2:21:37] make sure that we make up our deficit and especially in the vina sub basin so
[2:21:43] with that any other questions come from the board just to follow what you just said but we're not
[2:21:50] Actually, are we looking to make up the deficit because at 20,000 acre feet per year and now over half a million five hundred and fifty I think it said
[2:22:03] 1,000, where we are now, I mean, is the objective that we are bringing it back that
[2:22:11] 550,000 acre feet?
[2:22:14] I think the, yeah, that's the ambitious goal would be to not only, so the 20,000 acre feet
[2:22:20] kind of mirrors the 20,000 acre foot decline.
[2:22:23] So if we did that, our guess at this point is you would level things off.
[2:22:27] What the recharge action plan also says is we should do as much as possible whenever possible
[2:22:31] possible to not only kind of reduce the decline, but to try to bring things up.
[2:22:36] You say to level things off, we would level it off at our $550,000 deficit, not $550.
[2:22:45] If we hit that kind of 20,000 acre foot.
[2:22:52] So even if we reach our goals, we are still $550,000 acre feet below our baseline.
[2:23:02] Yeah.
[2:23:04] That's dark all day, Slime.
[2:23:07] But it's not just recharging, I gotta say.
[2:23:10] It's other programs that we are looking into with the grant money,
[2:23:14] following Ag land, not irrigating as much properties.
[2:23:17] Doing that.
[2:23:22] So there's a lot of things that come into play.
[2:23:25] And that's what the GSA's charges is to make sure that we make sure we have a sustainable water supply
[2:23:31] apply and hopefully increase that.
[2:23:34] Right.
[2:23:35] Yeah.
[2:23:35] So this is the rechargeable, but it's not the whole story in terms of that.
[2:23:38] That's one part of that.
[2:23:39] Improving things.
[2:23:40] That's correct.
[2:23:41] Did you do that?
[2:23:42] So good questions.
[2:23:44] Good discussion.
[2:23:45] Any public comment?
[2:23:47] Yes.
[2:23:47] We received an e-comment from Less Herringer and I have two cards.
[2:23:52] One from Wally Roney followed by Claudia Rollins.
[2:23:56] Mr. Roney.
[2:24:03] Good morning.
[2:24:04] Good morning.
[2:24:05] Wally Roney.
[2:24:05] Give me three minutes while you're okay. I know. Okay, five one five Ronny Drainl. President of Ronny Land in cattle. I have
[2:24:17] property in beauty county Tahima County last and in plomus.
[2:24:23] This aquifer very very
[2:24:26] Central to our operation in the fact that 1924-1976-1977 we'd routed out in last and in
[2:24:34] Plumus counties and we had to come back to our aquifer here in order to maintain our cattle herd.
[2:24:42] So it's real vital to us at far as the underground offer and I applaud everybody for everything that they're doing.
[2:24:52] If we do have a problem here, I want to be part of the solution, and I'm willing to do whatever as far as doing any kind of projects to recharge this aquifer, I do have a 500 acre mine in Pahema County, and I'm willing to redo my Reclamation Plan in order to have Holden Ponds for the recharge.
[2:25:20] And I do have issue with one deal on your slide, undergo the dotted line only goes to 2002.
[2:25:37] Now in 2003, I had a deep, I have a deep whale, one of the ones that we come back to when we have a problem.
[2:25:45] and the pump went out and so I pull that pump and when we did and it's a deep well we had water
[2:25:54] stand in that 20 feet and elevation wise over this aquifer it's probably the highest elevation
[2:26:06] that we have in the over the aquifer. So if I have water standing at 20 feet I'm wondering
[2:26:15] exactly how big a problem we have. I don't mind doing whatever it takes to recharge the
[2:26:22] aquifer, but I would like to have a purpose to need for that and have it identified
[2:26:29] what our aquifer level is prior to doing these projects.
[2:26:35] Would you be willing to locate a test well, near that?
[2:26:38] Well, in one of these things, they had three test wheels, one was that the Chico State,
[2:26:46] one was at M&T, and one was at the Hackett, what they call the Hackett well.
[2:26:52] I have probably eight wheels in that vicinity of that Hackett well.
[2:26:58] And when they put that well in, they put it on a hard pan rich. So to me,
[2:27:04] That, that isn't where I put my, well, the rechargeers, I'm trying to get you to offer to cooperate with a water department to put, oh, well, well located.
[2:27:15] Yeah, I'm willing to put anywhere on any of my properties.
[2:27:21] There you go.
[2:27:23] You know, and I'm also willing,
[2:27:34] you know,
[2:27:34] So I'm willing to do, and you have enough land to build small retention pawns for retail.
[2:27:38] So I only have 2,000 acres in Bukami, 1,000 acres in Hama County that's over the aquifer.
[2:27:47] You know, I got other property that's not over the aquifer that's on the recharge and the foothills.
[2:27:53] But yeah, I have access to enough property, but I think we also, when we're doing this,
[2:28:00] We need to recognize that we might have to have projects in the Hamac County also
[2:28:06] To recharge the aquifer because the aquifer doesn't know the county line. No, correct. Yeah
[2:28:12] Thank you, Mr. Ronny. We can have the question. Any question. I'm going to attack me
[2:28:16] I lost your phone number. He's the talk every once in a while. What's that? I need your phone number again
[2:28:20] I lost it. I got it. Did I give it to him? Well, yeah, okay. I just want to make sure you're going to give it to these people too. Okay
[2:28:28] Well, I was good to see you already. Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. Appreciate it
[2:28:37] Up next we have Claudia Rollins
[2:28:43] Hello
[2:28:44] I'm an alternate. Oh, Claudia Rollins
[2:28:48] I'm an alternate in the vina supply and I think some things come up at this meeting that
[2:28:58] that I'd like you to think about which is clearly we have coordination issues and the
[2:29:07] money moving issues and so on. So could we not share this with DWR yet? In other words, it looks
[2:29:19] to me like we have enough to do here that to get the state involved, we're not there yet.
[2:29:27] I could be wrong, but it's a concern, and the other part of this, which is action five of
[2:29:39] water rights, I think that should be action one before we get too far into the actual
[2:29:48] steps of recharge. I think we should really, and I think, um,
[2:29:54] wasn't some wiggle group looking into that, and, and I, I think we should...
[2:30:00] It should be doing that first. You mean as to who owns the water when it goes in the grid? Yeah. Any time we do
[2:30:07] any of these things. And if it's flood water, that's different, but you know, while he that was, he's not talking really
[2:30:18] flood water. So those are two concerns. Thank you, Mr. Rollins. Appreciate you being here. Thank you.
[2:30:27] Any other public comment?
[2:30:28] That's it.
[2:30:29] Okay.
[2:30:32] Close public comment.
[2:30:33] I guess the action before us is to adopt this plan.
[2:30:37] Is that correct?
[2:30:38] Is that right?
[2:30:40] Make a motion to it for you.
[2:30:41] All those in favor?
[2:30:43] Aye.
[2:30:44] Post.
[2:30:45] Great presentation.
[2:30:46] Thank you very much.
[2:30:48] We're going to move on to item 4.09, which is update on budget, legislative and other
[2:30:54] And then we will go back into public comment for those that still want to make public comment.
[2:31:00] Go ahead.
[2:31:01] Ms. Jessi.
[2:31:01] Thank you, Chair.
[2:31:02] Kremlin.
[2:31:03] We can just see I should do a couple of brief updates for you this morning.
[2:31:07] The first of which will actually be provided by Deputy CAO Brianna Haberman related to our
[2:31:12] Storm and disaster declaration last week.
[2:31:24] Good morning.
[2:31:28] Good morning, chair members of the board.
[2:31:30] I'm Brianna Haberman.
[2:31:31] I am the Deputy Administrative Officer for Emergency Management with Beauty County Administration.
[2:31:38] As you know, on February 3rd, a powerful slow-moving atmospheric river moved through the north-state.
[2:31:44] Impacts were seen throughout the county ranging from localized flooding, fallen trees, and winds up to 87 miles per hour in some areas,
[2:31:53] causing property damage and prolonged power outages throughout the county.
[2:31:57] Cruise throughout the county worked diligently to respond to this emergency and assess the damages.
[2:32:03] Damages are primarily related to fallen trees that resulted in blocked roadways and damaged buildings and guardrails.
[2:32:12] Initial estimates of the damage to the county's infrastructure is currently at 2.2 million.
[2:32:19] Again, primarily related to trees that fell across and blocked roadways and guardrails.
[2:32:26] As you know, the county also serves as the primary conduit of information to our state and federal partners during an incident like this.
[2:32:34] The emergency management team is responsible for coordinating with other jurisdictions within the county during an emergency to gather information and transmit it to CaloES and FEMA.
[2:32:47] The initial estimate for other public entities within the county is approximately 763,000.
[2:32:54] This includes the City of Chico, which had a tree go into their public works building and the Kim's shoe cemetery district in Magalia.
[2:33:04] We have also received reports, 29 reports countywide of private property damage.
[2:33:08] This is ranging from trees falling on fences, cars, RVs and homes ranging from minor to fully destroyed.
[2:33:17] Last Friday, thanks to the work of our partners in and around the county.
[2:33:21] I provided initial damage estimates to CaloES.
[2:33:25] At this point we are currently coordinating a visit from CaloES and FEMA to take them out to visibly see the damages.
[2:33:34] This is a necessary step towards validating the existence of the damages
[2:33:37] and working to demonstrate the importance to our state and federal partners
[2:33:41] for the county to be included in a state level and federal level disaster declaration.
[2:33:46] If we are included in that state and federal level disaster declaration, that could potentially make financial support available to not only the county, but the jurisdictions within, as well as potentially available to private property owners depending on the type of declaration that is received.
[2:34:05] I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank the emergency management team,
[2:34:11] the first responders that were out in the field, weathering this storm, and serving
[2:34:17] the community. That includes Bute County Fire, Sheriff's Office, our Public Works teams,
[2:34:23] as well as development services. And our partnering agencies for their diligence and support
[2:34:28] in the response and gathering of the initial damage estimates. That completes my report and I'm
[2:34:33] do you address any questions you may have?
[2:34:36] Any questions?
[2:34:38] Yes.
[2:34:39] Secretary Dr. Hibberman, you said they were 29 private property.
[2:34:44] Those folks aren't included in that 763,000 amount, are they?
[2:34:50] That's correct.
[2:34:51] They are not.
[2:34:52] And so basically the county's kind of responsibility or intervention there is the declaration of the emergency
[2:35:01] And then they have to individually put in claims with their insurance company or that that is correct and there are so that it's laid out in the law in terms of what we say indicators in the fields but that's just a field
[2:35:21] There's a lot of other factors that go into determining whether or not we meet the level of a federal declaration is what I want to say in terms of what's called
[2:35:31] individual assistance. Individual assistance is the programs that may
[2:35:35] become available through the federal government for, you know, residents to be
[2:35:43] able to apply for assistance directly from the federal government. Currently the
[2:35:46] state does not have an individual assistance program. You will also hear public
[2:35:51] assistance which many folks get confused because public, you know, you think that's
[2:35:55] for the residents and it's the public. That is the type of federal
[2:35:59] declaration that actually helps restore public facilities, and that is the reason it's called public assistance.
[2:36:05] So that actually helps support the county in the efforts to recover and provide defining mechanism for that.
[2:36:13] Thank you.
[2:36:14] Thank you.
[2:36:16] Other questions?
[2:36:17] Comments?
[2:36:18] Thank you.
[2:36:19] On behalf of all of us, I think we made it through pretty well considering the level of the
[2:36:26] winds and the wind.
[2:36:27] Great.
[2:36:27] Thank you very much.
[2:36:28] like to thank public yeah we're excited a great job no no complaints from any
[2:36:34] constituents constituents when praise about their effort yeah we got some
[2:36:38] complaints about power but not not from roads and trees and things of that
[2:36:43] agent so thank you all right I just had a couple other legislative updates first
[2:36:48] on the federal side is your likely aware January 21st the house voted on and
[2:36:53] passed the bipartisan tax deal that doesn't include Congressman Lamaufus
[2:36:57] proposal to exempt wildfire settlement payments from income taxes.
[2:37:03] That legislation is now with the Senate and it's unclear at what point they will consider
[2:37:07] that.
[2:37:08] We are certainly hoping to see that move through.
[2:37:12] On the state side, January 31st, the deadline passed for bills that were introduced last
[2:37:18] year to make it through their House of Origin.
[2:37:20] Then at the end of this week, is the deadline for any new bills to be introduced for the
[2:37:25] remainder of this two-year legislative session.
[2:37:29] Also last week we saw Senator Mike McGuire was sworn in as Senate
[2:37:34] Protem. With that came pretty significant leadership and committee
[2:37:37] changes throughout the Senate side, including a new chair of the
[2:37:42] Senate Budget Committee. We continue to watch and wait on the budget
[2:37:46] haven't seen significant action yet, although we do seem to
[2:37:52] regularly here that the revenues coming in are not keeping up with what the Governor
[2:37:57] proposed, most recently seen your budget staff reported that initial numbers show the
[2:38:04] January revenues coming in 5.7 billion below at the Governor proposed and the LAO recently
[2:38:11] issued an updated forecast and they show over all 24 billion short of what's in the Governor's
[2:38:17] budget so I think we will clearly see lots more here as things move forward and that concludes
[2:38:23] my update.
[2:38:24] Thank you very much.
[2:38:26] Any public comment?
[2:38:29] Okay.
[2:38:29] I see you then.
[2:38:29] We'll move on.
[2:38:30] We will finish up now.
[2:38:33] Any public comment that someone out there has, we have some more arts.
[2:38:39] Yes.
[2:38:39] Mr. Chair.
[2:38:40] We have three cards starting with Connie Cyborg.
[2:38:57] Go ahead and turn that microphone on. Just press the button. Is it misscibar?
[2:39:03] Yeah, perfect. Yes, it is. Okay, thank you. Thank you for waiting, by the way. Oh, yes, you know,
[2:39:07] no worries. You have a lot here to talk about it. It sounds like my name is Connie Cybert. I live on
[2:39:15] view lane here in Orville, which is somebody's calling me off of Oregon Goldschrode. And that's what I
[2:39:27] I also want to thank you to for allowing everybody here in the community to come and talk to you about their concerns and.
[2:39:37] Hold on just a minute.
[2:39:40] And because I have a thing to read here.
[2:39:43] And I know I only have three minutes.
[2:39:45] So I'm going to talk really fast.
[2:39:46] Okay.
[2:39:47] But I do want to thank you for hearing me and my other neighbors are also here.
[2:39:53] and we're all on view lane and we drive organ-golds road.
[2:40:01] So I first want to start out with a prayer just because I just want to say,
[2:40:09] Lord, help me to not be nervous.
[2:40:10] I've never talked to the Board of Supervisors before.
[2:40:15] And in delivering my message and allow all of us to be led by our
[2:40:22] heart
[2:40:22] for your grace and your love.
[2:40:28] I want to talk with you today about my concerns of public safety and the county's maintenance
[2:40:36] on Oregon Goldschrode, in particular, which is a county maintained dirt road.
[2:40:42] View Lane is about two miles up Oregon Goldschrode.
[2:40:47] I live on View Lane, which is a private dead end road, which crosses Oregon Goldschrode.
[2:40:53] and some of the people standing here behind me already said that.
[2:40:59] And I want to talk to you about the safety issues of concern that are ones that I have
[2:41:05] also addressed with the current and new road department supervisor manual low pez as well as the past department supervisor
[2:41:13] Brett Cambria. Brett, the last department supervisor, he was fabulous and we so
[2:41:20] showed our appreciation with our home-baked cookies, brownies, and caches. Every
[2:41:27] time there was road maintenance on our organ-gold road. Hence my nickname, the
[2:41:33] treat lady, not that I made them all, our road department, or I mean our other
[2:41:40] people that live on view lane and made those and I would just be the delivery person with a
[2:41:45] card thanking them for all their work that they do out there for us. Brett Cambria, he started
[2:41:53] the soil stabilization about three years ago that they do every spring out there. This cuts down
[2:42:00] on the dust as well as making a smoother road service for a longer period of time. We go ahead,
[2:42:07] I'm going to give you another couple minutes.
[2:42:08] Oh, thank you, thank you.
[2:42:09] Thank you so much.
[2:42:10] You've got the difference between the previous years
[2:42:13] and this year's road maintenance.
[2:42:15] We have had soil stabilization in spring
[2:42:18] and was graded and rocked from the beginning of the road,
[2:42:21] which is at the bridge to our road view lane,
[2:42:25] along with some pothole filling and ditch clearing,
[2:42:29] after some heavy rains, usually in January, February.
[2:42:33] This year we have had the soil stabilization
[2:42:35] in spring graded and fall and very little rock laid with only partial road coverage.
[2:42:42] After the big storms that we just heard about, in January we have numerous
[2:42:47] pot holes, clogged ditches and ruts making, making ruts alongside the road from the water running
[2:42:54] across the road which I have pictures of and I also, we set a camera on the bridge and in three
[2:43:02] days this last week we had 210 cars passed so that's looking at how many cars that are used
[2:43:11] on Oregon Goldschroat to also help.
[2:43:19] So, what's your name as you got some real problems on Oregon
[2:43:22] Goldschroat, right? Yes, yes, sir. Okay. Do you mind meeting with after meeting with Mr.
[2:43:27] Connelly I would love that. I'm my district. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. But you remember how good it was when it was my district
[2:43:41] But maybe you guys can speak with the public works. Oh, yeah, so I'm going to have you
[2:43:46] Professor teeters a good guy. Yeah, he is he's a good man. So if you don't mind I just wrap it up your comments
[2:43:52] Okay, yes, sir. No, certainly. Thank you so much for meeting with me. I so appreciate that afterwards.
[2:44:01] And a recent picture.
[2:44:04] Then there's the disc that also shows the amount of cars that have been on the road in just the last three days.
[2:44:13] And to wrap this up, I do want to say that also a public safety issue, and I've witnessed one car going off of that.
[2:44:21] that, and that's on a working-gauge road as well. There is an area that is about a hundred-foot
[2:44:27] drop-off. It's undercut severely, and so that road will be dropping off, and the other part
[2:44:34] of that is that because it's so steep, there's no guardrail, and you know, like the one car that
[2:44:39] I saw go off, there may be others as well. And so I do want to address that as well, and I have also
[2:44:46] like told all this in emails to our road department supervisors and, you know, I don't want
[2:44:53] to see anybody, you know, be hurt or killed on that road because of because it is public safe.
[2:45:00] And I've also witnessed cars going on the other side of the road to miss the pot, hold, which around blind curves, I personally, you know, there was a car coming around the curve.
[2:45:12] Okay, well thank you very much for your comments.
[2:45:14] Thanks, thank you, thank you.
[2:45:15] You said you set up a camera, I'm just curious how many water trucks you saw go by.
[2:45:20] No, I'm serious.
[2:45:21] I mean, you're talking about, yeah, we have water trucks like this and trailers.
[2:45:27] because they're... Yeah, that's not why. And so all the cars that go by and that's three
[2:45:34] weeks, which was
[2:45:36] two days on the weekend. So Thursday through Sunday and they're all on that
[2:45:41] disk. And you can see who it is. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I'm glad you did your your homework. Thank you so much.
[2:45:47] And I thought if I told my husband, if nothing else they'll say, well, she did her homework.
[2:45:51] That's what there you go. Thank you so much. I should be in here. I appreciate it.
[2:45:55] Yeah. Oh would you like your pictures back?
[2:46:01] Up next we have Vivian Elmore. Followed by Benny
[2:46:04] Estrada.
[2:46:13] Miss Elmore? Yeah. Hi. Is this on? It's on. Yeah. Yeah. I was I'm with Connie and
[2:46:19] I was just going to mention the Gabriel because that's a horrendous area. I've had I've
[2:46:23] had cars coming and they you know they go 50 miles an hour around this turn and it's if you
[2:46:28] go down it's like a 200 foot cliff. You're going to go you're going to go down you're going
[2:46:32] I just, if nothing else, I would love to see the road ship sealed. I don't know if that'll ever happen.
[2:46:37] But I'd love to see a guardrail right there. It could save lives. I don't probably mind.
[2:46:41] Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you again for staying until the end of the meeting.
[2:46:44] Oh, yeah. It's fine. Thank you. Yes. Any other comments, cards?
[2:46:48] Yes. Our last card is for Sonny and Scarlet.
[2:46:53] Hi.
[2:46:54] Is it a strata? Sonny? Mr. Strata. Thank you for being here.
[2:46:58] Thank you for your time. So, as you can tell, there are a lot of people with this
[2:47:06] especially nationwide. I am here to ask that you, I'm sorry, entertain the notion of
[2:47:19] possibly looking into the COS resolution and voting on it. Believe it or not,
[2:47:28] But these matters are growing nationwide, and I know there are so many frustrated individuals
[2:47:35] out there, and it's beyond your control, you are doing the best you can.
[2:47:41] I've emailed you, and I've even given you my personal thoughts,
[2:47:48] but I would really appreciate
[2:47:52] it if you looked into the sea.
[2:47:58] What is all about, you know, the thing in the beautiful part is, is it surrounds itself with article 5, it calls into a conventions of states, where we can actually have something to stand on, like a rock, you know, instead of just muddy waters,
[2:48:18] just trudging through not knowing what to do.
[2:48:21] You know, that way when working together,
[2:48:24] you know, because like I said, there is a lot of frustration,
[2:48:28] but I feel like there's also a lot of misunderstanding.
[2:48:31] You guys, I mean, there's a lot of things they,
[2:48:35] you know, are is even above your heads,
[2:48:38] even with where the COVID vaccines are stored.
[2:48:42] You know, a lot of you believe that they were there to benefit,
[2:48:46] you know and you know a lot of your families even took the vaccines okay and that's what I
[2:48:54] feel in my heart a lot of individuals aren't seeing like you guys were victims just as
[2:49:00] much as they were you know so I feel like we're working together in order to come up with
[2:49:07] simple solutions to major problems there we can accomplish the impossible but we need to
[2:49:15] have a common ground and in realizing we all are humans, we have our trials and the llamas
[2:49:25] and at the end of the day, we're just trying to do our best to survive.
[2:49:35] So, yeah, I just wanted to introduce myself and I am the conventions of say district captain
[2:49:42] for this area. And like I said, I would love to get together with you guys on a personal level
[2:49:50] and talk to you more about this because this has not only been passed in 19 different states,
[2:49:57] but it's actually 16. So this year is being voted on in 16 different houses.
[2:50:05] Thank you. Thank you for your comments. We appreciate it. Thank you for being here.
[2:50:09] No problem.
[2:50:10] You know, Fred, they're correct.
[2:50:12] Any other public comment?
[2:50:14] So we'll close public comment.
[2:50:17] It gets a little complicated from here.
[2:50:20] Okay.
[2:50:20] Now we're going to recess as the View County Board of Supervisors and convene as the
[2:50:25] View County Public Facilities Financing Corporation.
[2:50:29] Okay.

[2:50:47] Close public comment?
[2:50:48] What's your support?
[2:50:52] Any an emotion to approve the consent?
[2:50:54] Is there a second?
[2:50:56] OK.
[2:50:56] All those from favor?
[2:50:58] Opposed.
[2:50:59] OK.
[2:51:00] Now we're going to adjourn as the county public facilities
[2:51:03] financing corporation and convene as the in-home support services public authority board.
