[18:32] » Appreciate that. Uh but also I I
[18:32] appreciate Pete's leadership. I've
[18:34] always found it uh to be an extra uh
[18:39] little thing for me to be the vice chair
[18:41] under supervisor uh Vanderpool because
[18:43] of his vast knowledge of the county and
[18:45] his many years of service there and is
[18:47] very much appreciated.
[18:48] >> Thank you. We appreciate it. [applause]
[19:00] » That's better.
[19:02] Well, thank you for that. I appreciate
[19:04] it. And I want to just thank my
[19:05] colleagues for the opportunity to serve
[19:07] as chair. It really is a privilege. It's
[19:08] not something to be taken lightly. Uh
[19:10] this county is a wonderful county and
[19:11] we've worked hard to put it in the
[19:13] position that it is. And so to be
[19:14] chairperson of this county and to lead
[19:16] it, uh is not is something I definitely
[19:18] didn't take for granted is truly a
[19:19] privilege that I'm very grateful for. Uh
[19:22] and I know that Supervisor Shuckle will
[19:24] do a wonderful job as the next chair. Um
[19:27] and uh hopefully uh 2026 is a great
[19:30] another great year for Tallery County.
[19:32] [clears throat]
[19:33] >> All right. So with that uh we will move
[19:35] » All right. So with that uh we will move
[19:35] into supervisor matters and I'll start
[19:37] with uh former chair Vanderpool.
[19:40] >> All right. Thank you uh chair madam
[19:42] » All right. Thank you uh chair madam
[19:42] chair. Uh first of all happy new year to
[19:44] everyone. Um I hope everyone had a
[19:46] wonderful holiday season. It was busy
[19:48] with different events, functions, family
[19:50] gatherings, friends. Uh it was uh uh
[19:52] great and uh here we are in 2026 and
[19:55] already uh rolling. So I've got meetings
[19:58] with constituents throughout this week.
[19:59] I've got a meeting with the Health and
[20:01] Human Services Agency directors this
[20:03] Thursday the 8th. Um I also have that a
[20:06] meeting following that meeting uh with
[20:09] the Tacera uh organization, the Tiller
[20:11] County Employees Retirement Association.
[20:14] And we're really digging a little bit
[20:15] deeper into the organization chart and
[20:18] uh the investment staffing. Uh trying to
[20:21] figure out whether or not we've reached
[20:22] a point in the um existence of Tacera
[20:26] where we need to start looking at
[20:27] independent uh investment staff. I know
[20:30] that was a question posed by one of our
[20:32] trustees and so it's sort of an ad hoc
[20:34] committee meeting to dig deep into that.
[20:37] Um on Monday we have a meeting of the
[20:40] Kingsary Area Agency on Aging at 10
[20:42] o'clock at the Probation Connections
[20:44] building. Um then uh we have a meeting
[20:48] of the Teriy Chamber of Commerce
[20:50] governmental affairs committee meeting
[20:51] at noon at Appalantes in Tallery. I've
[20:54] got a Greater Kawa Groundwater
[20:55] Sustainability Agency meeting at 1:00
[20:58] here in Viceelia. And that's followed by
[21:01] a water commission meeting at 3 pm right
[21:03] here uh at uh the board of supervisors
[21:07] chambers. So that's all I've got for
[21:09] this next week and uh uh thank you all
[21:11] for being here this morning.
[21:12] >> Thank you, Supervisor Valero.
[21:15] » Thank you, Supervisor Valero.
[21:15] >> All right. Thank you, Chair, and uh good
[21:18] » All right. Thank you, Chair, and uh good
[21:18] morning, Terary County. First and
[21:20] foremost, I hope everyone had a great
[21:22] Christmas and winter holiday season. And
[21:25] I'm I hope that you're also having a
[21:27] great start to the new year. Uh this
[21:30] year I am believing for greater things
[21:32] in Tillery County and in our region as
[21:34] we continue to uplift, encourage and
[21:36] support our communities across the
[21:38] county. Um and so I'm also believing in
[21:41] greater partnerships, collaboration, and
[21:43] connections to help us grow. And with
[21:45] every move forward, obviously there are
[21:47] bound to be challenges and hardship, but
[21:50] as a county, we muster through. And so I
[21:52] want to congratulate Supervisor Shuckle
[21:54] on your role as chair for our board this
[21:56] year. I know that you will do great
[21:58] things ahead and this and next week
[22:01] include a well 2026 conference committee
[22:04] meeting as this year's conference will
[22:06] be held in Fresno. Tonight our Kiwanas
[22:08] Club of Woodlake will have a dinner uh
[22:10] together along with festivities to start
[22:13] our new year. I also have a Latino
[22:15] Caucus of California counties uh meeting
[22:18] uh statewide um on Thursday. And then on
[22:21] Monday we have a Kings Tiller area
[22:23] agency on Aging meeting followed by an
[22:26] executive committee meeting for
[22:27] Proteius. And that is all I have. Chair,
[22:29] thank you.
[22:30] >> Thank you Supervisor McCari.
[22:33] » Thank you Supervisor McCari.
[22:33] >> Well, good morning everyone. I hope
[22:35] » Well, good morning everyone. I hope
[22:35] everyone had a great Christmas and and
[22:37] New Year's and a holiday and enjoyed
[22:39] time with your family. I was able to do
[22:41] some of that. Had been a while. My girls
[22:43] have moved away and they came back. So,
[22:44] it was really nice to have everyone
[22:45] home. And uh
[22:46] >> Were you surprised they came back? No,
[22:49] » Were you surprised they came back? No,
[22:49] only a few were there. [laughter]
[22:52] Um, anyway, you know, I had the
[22:55] holidays. We did have some events. I
[22:57] know the supervisor town and I attended
[22:59] the Bountiful box in Porterville where
[23:00] we packed I How many boxes was it,
[23:02] Dennis? Several hundred.
[23:04] >> Yeah, it was like 350, I think.
[23:06] » Yeah, it was like 350, I think.
[23:06] >> 350 boxes that we did to to give out as
[23:08] » 350 boxes that we did to to give out as
[23:08] a food giveaway. Um, also attended the
[23:12] Aggra business lunchon in Porterville.
[23:14] It was great. Thank you for inviting me,
[23:15] Dennis, to that. It was a great time.
[23:17] Got to see a lot of people hadn't seen
[23:18] in quite a while. I attended the
[23:20] Farmersville Toy Drive which was put on
[23:22] by Danny Valdeino. She's back on the
[23:24] city council over there, but Danny's
[23:25] always done a great job with a huge
[23:27] Christmas drive there in Farmersville
[23:28] and helping those kids in need over
[23:29] there. Ted Smallley, our TAG uh
[23:33] director, he has an open house every
[23:35] year for the holidays and Christmas and
[23:37] I went over there and saw Ted and uh and
[23:39] got to visit with some people there. So,
[23:41] thanks Ted for that. And then I want to
[23:43] thank Diana Ma. Dana called me on
[23:46] December 29th regarding the conditions
[23:49] of the roads in Tonyville. There was a
[23:52] construction going on there and I went
[23:53] out there on the 30th and met with her
[23:54] in person. It was just absolutely
[23:56] horrible. So I made some phone calls and
[23:59] Johnny Wong at RMA and Tony Boland and
[24:02] Craig Wallace from LSID, everyone got
[24:04] together and we had a meeting yesterday
[24:06] and uh there's a lot of issues out there
[24:09] going on with the current uh
[24:11] construction project going on. the
[24:14] contractor seems to not be following the
[24:16] rules that were set aside. A lot of
[24:18] different things, a lot of excuses. But
[24:20] I want to thank everybody. We got out
[24:22] there and we did it. And I just want
[24:24] staff to know, I told them yesterday,
[24:26] and I'll say it publicly, I'm in full
[24:28] support of whatever actions they need to
[24:29] take on this contractor to make sure
[24:32] that these roads get fixed properly
[24:35] because it was an absolute disaster. And
[24:38] it's very disgusting when we have people
[24:40] come from out of the area to do jobs in
[24:42] our county and tear our stuff up and act
[24:45] like they don't care. And that's my
[24:46] impression of it. I got of it. And I
[24:48] just think it's wrong. So,
[24:51] you know, we wouldn't know these things
[24:53] unless somebody calls. Everyone wants to
[24:55] complain. You see stuff show up on
[24:57] social media. You try to track it down.
[24:59] Half of it is not even substantiated.
[25:02] But, you know, Diana took the time to
[25:03] call me and I went out there and met
[25:05] with her and we're trying to get it
[25:06] fixed. So, the one thing I want to
[25:08] impress upon everyone starting this year
[25:10] is let's quit crying on social media and
[25:13] let's start calling and making see what
[25:15] we can do to help things get better. So,
[25:17] that's all I have to say and everyone
[25:18] have a happy new year.
[25:23] » Supervisor Townsen.
[25:25] >> Thank you, Madam Chair.
[25:26] » Thank you, Madam Chair.
[25:26] >> Oh, I'm sorry, Vice Chair Town.
[25:28] » Oh, I'm sorry, Vice Chair Town.
[25:28] [laughter]
[25:29] >> Thank you, Madam Chair.
[25:31] » Thank you, Madam Chair.
[25:31] Good morning, everyone, and happy new
[25:33] year. Happy 2026. Uh 2025 was a very
[25:37] eventful year. Lots of blessings uh in
[25:39] the year, even some miracles uh
[25:41] personally in that year. And so uh CeCe
[25:44] and I had a great time over Christmas
[25:46] and New Year's. It was kind of a low-key
[25:48] uh time with our friends and our
[25:50] families. U in between that lots of
[25:54] calls and texts and visits and wrapping
[25:56] up loose ends uh from 2025 before the
[25:59] close of the year. Uh starting uh
[26:01] yesterday had a meeting with the Tuli
[26:04] River improvement joint powers
[26:05] agreement. Uh it was really a good
[26:07] meeting, a short meeting uh but there
[26:09] was really good news on the status of
[26:11] the success reservoir enlargement
[26:13] project. It's it's really there besides
[26:16] just a couple of loose ends. Uh but one
[26:18] thing that was really great, we had put
[26:20] in a Zoom call uh to a lobbyist in
[26:23] Washington DC uh regarding a 14.6 $6
[26:27] million appropriation for that project
[26:30] that was going through the energy and
[26:32] and water appropriations. Uh it was
[26:35] sponsored by Congressman Thong that the
[26:38] success reservoir is in his district um
[26:41] and also co-sponsored by Congressman
[26:44] Valadeo which it's not in his district
[26:46] but all of the downstream users are
[26:49] affected uh by this. And so it was a
[26:51] 14.6 $6 million um um appropriation
[26:55] there that that had passed through.
[26:57] There's still some other hoops to jump
[26:59] through, but it was really good news and
[27:01] it looks like it is um uh that that will
[27:04] secure that funding and so I did reach
[27:07] out to both Congressman Fong and Valido
[27:10] thanking them uh for their efforts on
[27:11] that and really appreciative of that. Um
[27:15] this coming Thursday have our Eastern
[27:17] Tuli groundwater sustainability agency
[27:19] meeting at Portville City Hall at 2:00
[27:22] as that agency winds down uh be uh
[27:26] toward the end of or toward next month
[27:28] toward the end of next month it's
[27:29] winding down uh and will be taken over
[27:32] by the Tuli East Groundwater
[27:33] Sustainability Agency when I serve as
[27:36] vice chair chair on the ETGSA and vice
[27:38] chair now on the uh TEGSA.
[27:42] Uh and then also on Thursday be meeting
[27:44] with the Porterville uh museum board on
[27:46] a potential addition uh to the museum
[27:50] celebrating three historic theaters uh
[27:52] that have been in Porterville. So
[27:53] excited to see if they can get that uh
[27:56] underway helping everyone that I can.
[27:58] And that's all that I have to report,
[28:00] Madam Chair.
[28:01] >> Thank you.
[28:02] » Thank you.
[28:02] >> All right. I want to start off first of
[28:03] » All right. I want to start off first of
[28:03] all with wishing everybody a h merry
[28:06] Armenian Christmas. Today, uh, Armenians
[28:08] celebrate Christmas and, um, and it's
[28:11] not because things go on sale after the
[28:13] 25th of December. [laughter]
[28:17] We go by an old Julian calendar and, uh,
[28:21] just the way it is.
[28:22] >> How do you say Merry Christmas in
[28:23] » How do you say Merry Christmas in
[28:23] Armenian?
[28:24] >> Uh, you don't want me to say that.
[28:25] » Uh, you don't want me to say that.
[28:25] >> Oh, [laughter]
[28:27] » Oh, [laughter]
[28:27] >> shorun, I think. But yes. All right. So,
[28:31] » shorun, I think. But yes. All right. So,
[28:31] a couple things I want to highlight. Um
[28:34] few weeks ago, Supervisor Vanderpool and
[28:36] I got a tour of the new Kawia Health
[28:39] Clinic that is located in our Tallery
[28:42] Acres Professional Center or the Sigma
[28:45] building. Um it was actually the space
[28:47] that the board used for about a year
[28:49] while our offices here were being
[28:51] remodeled and they have done an
[28:52] incredible job with that space. Um and
[28:55] we look forward to them opening it,
[28:58] bringing new doctors in to serve our
[29:00] community. So, thank you for that. Um,
[29:02] tomorrow I have a meeting with Adrienne
[29:05] Hillman from Salt and Light. On Saturday
[29:08] I will be attending the uh and
[29:10] presenting a certificate to Mave Blanco
[29:13] who is receiving her Eagle Scout and she
[29:16] is um part of the first and only all
[29:20] girl scouting uh troop. It's not called
[29:23] Boy Scouts anymore. It's called Scout
[29:25] Scouting of America I believe. So um
[29:28] congratulations to her. I then have uh
[29:31] next week a Ter County Economic
[29:33] Development uh Corporation
[29:35] Administration meeting and then we're
[29:37] back here in chambers. So with that, we
[29:40] will move on to public comment.
[29:42] These items are routine and usually
[29:44] approved. Oh no, that's for the consent
[29:46] calendar.
[29:49] Public comment is a time where uh
[29:51] members of the public can comment on any
[29:52] item not appearing on the agenda. for
[29:55] items that are on the agenda. I will
[29:57] open that up for public com comment
[29:59] during the time that we hear that. Uh so
[30:02] at this time, do we have anybody here
[30:03] today that would like to speak for
[30:05] public comment?
[30:06] >> We have Brian Thurn.
[30:10] » We have Brian Thurn.
[30:10] >> Usually you get three minutes. Today you

[30:17] » Always uh I was going to say
[30:17] congratulations, Madam Chairman, but uh
