[39:41]

[39:43]
comment about a proclamation

[39:47]
Thanks, Candice. And it is
[39:48]
summer. And so we will have a
[39:50]
few interns in our office and
[39:53]
they, uh, we will have a full
[39:55]
contingent of them here at a
[39:57]
future meeting and introduce
[39:59]
them, although one has started
[40:00]
early and it
[40:01]
s I will introduce
[40:02]
her. Her name is Emma Gioia.
[40:04]
Yes, we are related. She
[40:04]
s a
[40:07]
cousin. And she goes to Davis
[40:10]
and Elkins College in West
[40:11]
Virginia studying policy,
[40:14]
public policy, and is from
[40:17]

[40:18]
There she is. Oh, there she is
[40:19]
back there. Welcome. And I
[40:21]
think she was on our Family and
[40:23]
Human Services Committee
[40:24]
meeting yesterday. Yes. She was
[40:25]
she was in the conference room
[40:27]
participating. Yes. Okay. Well
[40:28]
thank you for that. Ken. Please
[40:33]
go ahead. Thank you. Um, it
[40:33]
s
[40:34]
my privilege. I
[40:34]
d like to
[40:37]
invite Colleen Awad up to the
[40:40]
podium. She is one of an
[40:41]
amazing team in my office, and
[40:44]
I am proud to share that
[40:46]
Colleen has been selected as
[40:48]
the city of Concord
[40:48]
s new
[40:50]
community relations manager.
[40:52]
And that is awesome news. The
[41:01]
sad news. It is difficult to
[41:04]
lose Colleen. She is an
[41:05]
integral part of our team and
[41:08]
we have an amazing team in our
[41:09]
office. Um, she has been with
[41:12]
me since the beginning. When I
[41:14]
started this job in JANUARY of
[41:17]
2023, and as my communications
[41:18]
director, she has managed all
[41:21]
my media, all my press
[41:23]
releases, e blasts, events and
[41:24]
everything that goes on in my
[41:26]
social media. And it really is
[41:28]
a critical part of the work we
[41:30]
do, sharing with our
[41:31]
constituents everything that
[41:31]
s
[41:33]
going on in the county, let
[41:33]
alone the work we
[41:35]
re doing, and
[41:37]
sharing my priorities and my
[41:39]
direction here at the board.
[41:41]
Um, I do want to invite my
[41:43]
chief of staff, Lisa Chow, a
[41:45]
long time worker with Colleen,
[41:47]
and just share a few words and
[41:49]
maybe roast her a little bit if
[41:49]
we
[41:56]
re lucky. Thank you.
[41:57]
Supervisor Carlson. And good
[41:59]
morning, chair and the board.
[42:05]
Um. I
[42:06]
m honored to say a few
[42:08]
words about Colleen. I first
[42:09]
met her when she volunteered in
[42:10]
the district for office over
[42:13]
ten years ago, and have worked
[42:14]
with her since she officially
[42:16]
joined sta over eight years
[42:18]
ago. For many years, we worked
[42:20]
as peers and through that time
[42:23]
I have seen firsthand her
[42:25]
dedication to this office, to
[42:27]
the people of district four and
[42:29]
Contra Costa County, in the
[42:31]
thick of the pandemic. Colleen
[42:33]
single handedly managed the
[42:35]
distribution of ppe to
[42:37]
nonprofits and CBOs out of the
[42:40]
district for office at a time
[42:41]
when we were afraid of an
[42:43]
unseen virus, she stepped up
[42:46]
and she stepped in to ensure
[42:48]
that the staff and clients of
[42:51]
these organizations were seen
[42:54]
protected and provided for.
[42:55]
Over the years, Colleen and I
[42:56]
have seen each other through
[42:58]
good times and challenging
[43:01]
times. Throughout it all, her
[43:02]
morals and personal beliefs
[43:04]
that everyone deserves to have
[43:07]
a voice. Sorry that everyone
[43:09]
deserves to have their voice
[43:11]
heard and a seat at the table
[43:13]
has always stood out. Three
[43:15]
years ago, when Supervisor
[43:16]
Carlson invited me to be his
[43:18]
chief of staff, I wasn
[43:18]
t sure
[43:20]
how our relationship might
[43:23]
shift. Colleen, your support
[43:25]
and encouragement as I stepped
[43:26]
into this role has meant a lot
[43:29]
to me, both personally and
[43:31]
professionally. Thank you. As
[43:33]
you step into your new role
[43:34]
with the City of Concord,
[43:36]
please know that you have all
[43:39]
of our support and behind you.
[43:41]
I know that your strong work
[43:43]
ethic and deep sense of
[43:44]
responsibility for everything
[43:46]
you work on will carry you into
[43:48]
this next chapter of your
[43:59]
career. Congratulations! I
[43:59]
ll
[44:00]
give you an opportunity as well
[44:02]
to share a few words and tears.
[44:03]
If you MAY. We
[44:04]
re all passing
[44:06]
tissues around. Thank you,
[44:08]
Supervisor. Carlson, and thank
[44:09]
you to the Board of
[44:10]
Supervisors. It
[44:11]
s been my honor
[44:13]
to serve the residents of
[44:14]
district four for the last
[44:16]
eight years. My time at the
[44:18]
county has helped me to grow
[44:19]
professionally, has taught me
[44:21]
about the possibilities of what
[44:25]
local government can do. I have
[44:27]
been fortunate. I have been
[44:28]
fortunate to work with many
[44:29]
people in the community and
[44:30]
across several departments over
[44:33]
the years to assist our
[44:34]
constituents. This job has
[44:37]
afforded me a living wage,
[44:39]
which has enabled me to pursue
[44:40]
my mba at Cal State East Bay
[44:43]
and graduate and purchase a
[44:44]
home right here in Contra Costa
[44:46]
County. This job is also where
[44:48]
I found my passion is working
[44:50]
in local government, and I
[44:51]
encourage anyone looking to
[44:53]
public service to not ignore
[44:55]
local government. I have been
[44:56]
lucky to work with some amazing
[44:58]
colleagues over the years. In
[44:59]
the last three years I can
[45:03]
honestly say have been the best.
[45:10]
Lisa, Lisa, Manny and Alejandra
[45:12]
have been a blessing to work
[45:17]
with. And as I take this next
[45:18]
step in my public service
[45:20]
career, I will never forget
[45:21]
this experience. Thank you and
[45:32]
thank you. Supervisor Carlson.
[45:34]
You know, in some ways it feels
[45:34]
like we
[45:35]
ve we
[45:35]
ve lost
[45:38]
something, but in reality, um,
[45:39]
your career advancement, the
[45:39]
work you
[45:41]
ll do at Concord,
[45:41]
being the heart of district
[45:44]
four in so many ways, we have
[45:46]
another element that we can add
[45:47]
to the work we do, and we know
[45:49]
we have somebody we can go to
[45:51]
directly, maybe even through
[45:52]
the back door or through those
[45:54]
midnight phone calls to, to get
[45:56]
us the help and support and
[45:57]
share the information that we
[45:58]
need to. I
[45:59]
m just so grateful
[46:01]
for all of your dedicated
[46:04]
service, your support of me in
[46:05]
the office, being a new one,
[46:08]
coming in and starting fresh.
[46:10]
Um, you know, having all of you
[46:11]
as part of this team has been
[46:13]
truly amazing. So I
[46:13]
m grateful
[46:15]
for the work that you do. I
[46:15]
m
[46:17]
excited for your future, and
[46:17]
I
[46:18]
m excited that we still get
[46:19]
to continue to work together
[46:21]
going forward. And again, just
[46:25]
my gratitude and thanks. Thank
[46:28]
you. Okay. Thank you for that.
[46:28]
And we

most vulnerable times for
[48:25]
families. And we have with us
[48:28]
assistant Sheriff Jose Beltran

answered the calls for service

at all hours, day or night,
[49:05]
weekends, holidays, rain or

[49:15]
bring home loved ones who have

been lost or have gone missing,

[49:32]
recognition, although they MAY
[49:34]
be described as volunteers at

the office of the Sheriff, we

recognize them as professionals
[49:39]

all backgrounds and ages. Uh,
[50:33]
and, uh, 50 years ago, the
[50:34]
Board of Supervisors at that
[50:35]
time. And Sheriff Ramsey made a
[50:37]
great decision. They formed an
[50:38]
all volunteer team. And it
[50:38]
s
[50:40]
been a home run ever since. So,
[50:41]
uh, we
[50:42]
re just honored. We
[50:43]
appreciate it. I
[50:44]
d like to
[50:46]
again thank the staff. And, uh,
[50:46]
I
[50:47]
d like to close with thanking
[50:49]
the team members that came
[50:51]
today and in particular, uh,
[50:51]
there

[51:12]
So thank you all very much for

[51:21]
time today. Thank you. And what
[51:21]
we
[51:23]
d love to do is invite you
[51:25]
all up. Everyone connected with
[51:25]
the Sheriff
[51:26]
s department and
[51:28]

[51:29]
photo with you. And I don
[51:29]
t
[51:30]
know if any of my colleagues
[51:32]

[51:34]
want to express my gratitude to
[51:35]
the volunteers who get called
[51:36]
up, not when it
[51:37]
s convenient
[51:39]
for them, but when we have an
[51:41]
emergency. Anything else? Okay,
[51:41]
Diane. I
[51:42]
ll just say, you know,
[51:46]
I think, um, as you said, these
[51:47]
are they
[51:48]
re doing this as a
[51:51]
volunteer, uh, effort and to
[51:54]
give your own time to something
[51:56]
is very valuable. There
[51:56]
s a lot
[51:58]
of options when you have, you
[52:00]
know, the time to do things.
[52:04]
And this is the kind of, uh,
[52:06]
volunteer work that you have to
[52:08]
think on your feet. You have to
[52:10]
be physically ready, and you
[52:12]
have to work together. And so
[52:14]
those are all things that we
[52:16]
appreciate you providing to our
[52:19]
community. Okay. Now we
[52:19]
re
[52:21]
going to come to a picture. So
[52:22]
everyone come on up who would
[52:24]
like to be in this picture with
[52:25]
our search and rescue and with
[52:25]
sheriff
[53:06]
s department. Do you
[53:57]
want these wedged open? It
[53:58]
s
[54:10]
gotta get. All right, here we
[54:24]
go. One and two. Yeah, I
[54:25]
ll
[54:31]
take a couple. Three. One. Two.
[55:29]
Three. And are you ready? Our
[55:30]
next presentation, we
[55:30]
re going
[55:32]
to turn over to Supervisor
[55:35]
Carlson. We are proclaiming
[55:38]
JUNE 2025 as our lgbtqia Plus
[55:40]
Pride month. So to you,
[55:42]
Supervisor Carlson. Thank you,
[55:44]
Chair Anderson. Um, in in
[55:47]
JANUARY of 2023, I was
[55:49]
privileged to be sworn in with
[55:52]
my husband at my side as the
[55:54]
first openly gay supervisor in
[55:57]
Contra Costa County, and it as
[56:00]
the first. I understood and and
[56:03]
knew this came with a great
[56:05]
responsibility lead the way for
[56:05]
others and to be an advocate
[56:09]
for the lgbtq plus community.
[56:11]
For years we have fought for
[56:13]
equality, and now with the
[56:15]
current political climate, we
[56:17]
still find ourselves under
[56:19]
attack. Now more than ever, we
[56:23]
need to be bold, brave,
[56:25]
inclusion and unshakable
[56:26]
solidarity. Real, live
[56:29]
commitment to the lgbtq plus
[56:32]
community. Now more than ever,
[56:36]
we need to build bridges, not
[56:37]
burn them, because the movement
[56:40]
needs many voices. Activists,
[56:42]
educators, businesses, civic
[56:45]
leaders, faith communities not
[56:47]
everyone walks at the same
[56:49]
speed. But what matters is
[56:49]
we
[56:50]
re moving in the same
[56:53]
direction toward equity,
[56:59]
dignity, and full inclusion.
[57:01]
And I share this because
[57:01]
there
[57:03]
s been been challenges
[57:06]
and recognizing what allyship
[57:08]
is and what inclusion is and
[57:10]
how it is different for each
[57:13]
and every one of us. It doesn
[57:13]
t
[57:14]
always come in leaps. Sometimes
[57:16]
it comes in small, thoughtful
[57:18]
steps that doesn
[57:20]
t make it less
[57:21]
meaningful. It makes it
[57:23]
sustainable. Now more than
[57:25]
ever, we need to leave room for
[57:26]
people who are just beginning
[57:29]
to understand what inclusion
[57:31]
really means. We don
[57:31]
t need
[57:33]
every institution to be
[57:35]
perfect. We need them to be
[57:37]
present, to keep showing up and
[57:39]
to keep evolving and keep being
[57:42]
a part of the movement. We gain
[57:46]
nothing by pushing people away.
[57:47]
I encourage each and everyone
[57:49]
here to stand in solidarity
[57:52]
with our lgbtq plus community,
[57:55]
and we, as members of the lgbtq
[57:59]
plus community. Need to stand
[58:04]
in solidarity. We need to be a
[58:06]
community with our advocates
[58:07]
and our allies and our
[58:09]
neighbors. I ask all of you
[58:11]
through your everyday actions
[58:13]
and conversations to create
[58:15]
that inclusive and safe space
[58:16]
where everyone can be their
[58:19]
authentic selves. Pride is more
[58:21]
than a celebration. It
[58:21]
s a
[58:24]
call. A call to remember that
[58:25]
inclusion is a responsibility
[58:28]
that we all share not just for
[58:30]
today, but for those who come
[58:32]
for us or come after us. Now
[58:33]
more than ever, we must hold
[58:36]
each other accountable to, but
[58:38]
do it with grace. Walk forward
[58:40]
together with purpose and build
[58:41]
a future when no one has to
[58:45]
earn the right to belong. So
[58:45]
I
[58:47]
m really proud to celebrate
[58:48]
Pride Month. We
[58:49]
ve had a busy
[58:50]
few weeks as we
[58:51]
ve kicked it
[58:53]
off. I do want to recognize
[58:54]
several of our community
[58:56]
partners that are supportive of
[58:58]
our community and doing the
[59:00]
work out there on the ground.
[59:01]
Members of the Rainbow
[59:04]
Community Center, pflag, our
[59:05]
Rise Center, and of course,
[59:07]
Clayton Pride. And I
[59:08]
d welcome
[59:10]
you all to come on down and and
[59:12]
show your strength. But I
[59:13]
really want to call out our
[59:16]
friends at Clayton Pride. They
[59:18]
were founded by a group of
[59:20]
passionate volunteers and
[59:22]
advocates committed to raising
[59:23]
awareness and championing the
[59:25]
rights and well-being of the
[59:28]
lgbtq plus community. In 2021,
[59:30]
Clayton Pride successfully
[59:31]
urged the Clayton City Council
[59:34]
to recognize Pride Month and
[59:35]
led the effort to raise the
[59:36]
pride flag in Clayton for the
[59:40]
first time in 2022. The Pride
[59:42]
of Clayton pride organized the
[59:42]
city
[59:45]
s inaugural pride parade.
[59:45]
I don
[59:46]
t think we
[59:47]
ve had one in
[59:48]
central Contra Costa that I can
[59:51]
think of in in my memory of
[59:53]
ever having a parade. And on
[59:55]
this Sunday or on Sunday, JUNE
[59:57]
1st, Clayton Pride held its
[59:58]
fourth annual Pride Parade,
[1:00:00]
where I was privileged to be
[1:00:03]
the Grand Marshal. They worked
[1:00:05]
to create a city where lesbian,
[1:00:07]
gay, bisexual, transgender,
[1:00:08]
queer, questioning,
[1:00:09]
intersection, asexual people
[1:00:11]
thrive as healthy and equal
[1:00:12]
members of society. Throughout
[1:00:15]
advocating for respect, equity,
[1:00:16]
and justice. And they work to
[1:00:18]
build a rich community for
[1:00:19]
members and ally. And today,
[1:00:21]
this board recognizes the
[1:00:24]
efforts of this group towards
[1:00:25]
creating that inclusive and
[1:00:26]
welcoming community. So I
[1:00:28]
again, I join you to come on
[1:00:30]
down. I, I believe someone from
[1:00:32]
rise is here to share a few
[1:00:34]
words with us, as well as our
[1:00:37]
friends from Clayton Pride. And
[1:00:39]
we have comments here too,
[1:00:59]
right? Away. I
[1:01:00]
ll put you on
[1:01:04]
the spot. I guess. So. Good
[1:01:06]
morning everyone, and thank
[1:01:09]
you. Supervisor Carlson. It is
[1:01:10]
an honor. We were not expecting
[1:01:13]
to speak today. Um, in fact,
[1:01:14]
several of them were touching
[1:01:15]
me on the shoulder, and I think
[1:01:18]
we were all kind of in shock.
[1:01:19]
Um, at you recognizing us the
[1:01:21]
way that you have. We don
[1:01:22]
t do
[1:01:23]
this for the accolades. I know
[1:01:26]
that, um, I speak for many of
[1:01:26]
us. I
[1:01:27]
ve been an ally since I
[1:01:29]
was nine years old. Um, when I
[1:01:31]
learned that one of my mom
[1:01:32]
coworkers was kind of
[1:01:34]
ostracized from his other, from
[1:01:35]
the rest of their coworkers
[1:01:36]
because he was gay. And at nine
[1:01:37]
years old, I didn
[1:01:38]
t understand
[1:01:40]
why, because to me, he was just
[1:01:42]
Don Donald or Douglas Donald.
[1:01:47]
He was Donald. Um, sorry. And I
[1:01:47]
didn
[1:01:48]
t know why he was being
[1:01:49]
treated any differently,
[1:01:50]
because to me, he was just
[1:01:52]
another human being. And I just
[1:01:53]
kind of kept that throughout my
[1:01:54]
life. Throughout middle school,
[1:01:56]
when people that I knew were
[1:01:56]
gay didn
[1:01:57]
t recognize that they
[1:01:58]
were. And I
[1:01:58]
m glad that I live
[1:02:00]
in a community now that I have
[1:02:02]
my peers and my colleagues and
[1:02:04]
my friends who also want to be
[1:02:05]
allies and fight for people to
[1:02:08]
be able to just be themselves
[1:02:09]
and lead with love, which is
[1:02:10]
what I do. As a council member
[1:02:11]
in the city of Clayton. And
[1:02:12]
ll let others from pride
[1:02:13]
speak if they
[1:02:14]
d like to. Thank
[1:02:18]
you. Thank you. My name is
[1:02:23]
Scott. Thank you, Holly, and
[1:02:25]
thank you, Supervisor Carlson.
[1:02:28]
Uh, this has been, uh, your
[1:02:29]
words as grand marshal at the
[1:02:30]
parade really resonated with
[1:02:32]
me. This has been a personal
[1:02:34]
journey as a cis white male
[1:02:36]
from as a leader of Clayton
[1:02:38]
Pride. Uh, um, and and you
[1:02:39]
ve
[1:02:41]
really helped me as a person.
[1:02:43]
And so I just love working
[1:02:46]
together. Um, with city
[1:02:48]
leadership, with other members
[1:02:49]
that want to serve the
[1:02:50]
community. And I just thank you
[1:02:52]
for, for, maybe not even
[1:02:53]
intentionally. Thank you for
[1:02:54]
your support. Thank you for,
[1:02:56]
uh, for for helping me to grow
[1:02:58]
as a human being just by your
[1:02:59]
perspective. Thank you. Thank
[1:03:06]
you. And we
[1:03:07]
ll welcome the the
[1:03:10]
Rise Center. Hello. I
[1:03:11]
Anastasia, and I
[1:03:11]
m here on
[1:03:13]
behalf of Contra Costa County
[1:03:15]
Youth Action Board, also known
[1:03:18]
as Jab. The Jab was founded in
[1:03:19]
2024 and is made up of youth
[1:03:22]
and young adults or a with
[1:03:23]
lived experience of
[1:03:24]
homelessness or housing
[1:03:26]
instability. We serve as a
[1:03:27]
decision making body that
[1:03:29]
advises the Council on
[1:03:30]
homelessness, and we partner
[1:03:31]
with key stakeholders like the
[1:03:33]
Ry center to strengthen our
[1:03:33]
community
[1:03:35]
s response to youth
[1:03:36]
homelessness. Many members,
[1:03:38]
along with community partners,
[1:03:39]
helped lead the Community nee
[1:03:41]
Assessment for youth and young
[1:03:43]
adult homelessness, and across
[1:03:44]
the county, which includes
[1:03:48]
information about lgbtq plus
[1:03:49]
wildfire. For example, finding
[1:03:51]
two of the assessment states
[1:03:53]
that year and providers
[1:03:55]
frequently lack awareness of
[1:03:57]
and access to safe, effective
[1:03:59]
and affirming resources, due in
[1:04:02]
part to geography, racism,
[1:04:04]
homophobia and transphobia.
[1:04:06]
Other findings from the
[1:04:07]
assessment include. First, in
[1:04:10]
our county, 11% of fire and
[1:04:12]
homeless management Information
[1:04:16]
System identify as lgbtq plus.
[1:04:18]
Second, this is likely an
[1:04:19]
undercount. Not all providers
[1:04:21]
collect this data, and we MAY
[1:04:23]
not feel safe disclosing their
[1:04:26]
identity at intake. Third,
[1:04:28]
national research shows that
[1:04:30]
20% to 40% of all Ja
[1:04:32]
experiencing homelessness
[1:04:36]
identify as lgbtq. Plus fourth
[1:04:38]
lgbtqia+. Ja often leave home
[1:04:39]
for different reasons than
[1:04:41]
their cisgender straight peers,
[1:04:44]
including family rejection.
[1:04:45]
Fifth, research also shows that
[1:04:47]
they are more likely to
[1:04:49]
experience severe homelessness,
[1:04:50]
including higher rates of
[1:04:52]
sexual exploitation, violence
[1:04:54]
and suicidality. We ask the
[1:04:56]
Board of Supervisors to stay
[1:04:57]
committed to the priorities
[1:04:59]
that were identified by the
[1:05:00]
community and the needs
[1:05:01]
assessment, especially the
[1:05:04]
equitable need for supporting
[1:05:05]
lgbtqia+ young people. Thank
[1:05:15]
you. Thank you. And then, of
[1:05:17]
course, we have within the
[1:05:18]
county, across our departments,
[1:05:20]
a pride initiative. And and I
[1:05:22]
would welcome our our folks
[1:05:25]
from health services and the
[1:05:27]
library to share some of their
[1:05:46]
work and their thoughts. Good
[1:05:48]
morning, chair and.
[1:05:49]
Supervisors. My name is Tom.
[1:05:50]
Schwinn, and I
[1:05:51]
m a librarian,
[1:05:54]
and I am honored and happy to
[1:05:56]
be here today representing the
[1:05:59]
Library department. So
[1:06:00]
libraries don
[1:06:01]
t just hold
[1:06:02]
books. Of course, they hold
[1:06:03]
communities and communities
[1:06:05]
within communities. And this
[1:06:07]
month, across all 26 of our
[1:06:09]
branches, were proudly making
[1:06:11]
space for every identity, every
[1:06:16]
story, and every voice. 2025
[1:06:18]
pride is more than a
[1:06:19]
celebration. It
[1:06:20]
s a reflection
[1:06:23]
of our shared commitment to
[1:06:25]
inclusion, visibility and
[1:06:29]
belonging across our libraries,
[1:06:30]
across our libraries, you
[1:06:31]
ll
[1:06:33]
find colorful book displays,
[1:06:35]
creative programs, and safe,
[1:06:37]
joyful spaces for
[1:06:39]
self-expression. Here
[1:06:39]
s what
[1:06:42]
going on so far at Clayton.
[1:06:43]
Families can search for hidden
[1:06:46]
pride titles all month long.

[1:07:52]
Alexander. His brother is a
[1:07:55]

lgbtq plus trailblazers.
[1:08:17]
Trailblazers of San Francisco,
[1:08:20]
famous or forgotten, they
[1:08:20]
re
[1:08:23]
all our fabulous ancestors.
[1:08:24]
Books that remind us how
[1:08:25]
important it is to be seen on
[1:08:27]
the page. That seeing yourself
[1:08:30]
in books and being seen by
[1:08:33]
others matters. Pride lives in
[1:08:34]
stories. And this month our
[1:08:35]
libraries are helping thousands
[1:08:37]
of people feel seen in their
[1:08:40]
stories. We love all our
[1:08:42]
patrons equally at the library,
[1:08:44]
but those who check out lgbtq
[1:08:46]
plus books and complement our
[1:08:49]
displays get bonus librarian
[1:09:04]
points. Thank you. Happy pride!
[1:09:06]
Good morning everyone. My name
[1:09:08]
is Adrian DeFranco. I use she
[1:09:11]
her pronouns the lgbtq plus
[1:09:13]
Pride initiative at Contra
[1:09:14]
Costa Health was originally
[1:09:18]
established in 2009. Since
[1:09:19]
2019, I have been the
[1:09:20]
coordinator and lead of that
[1:09:23]
group with the intent of
[1:09:24]
continuing that work and
[1:09:26]
honoring the legacy of my
[1:09:29]
predecessors. We are a multiple,
[1:09:31]
multiple, multidisciplinary,
[1:09:33]
um, empyee work group of
[1:09:35]
community members and allies
[1:09:38]
focused on lgbtq plus advocacy,
[1:09:40]
empowerment, and equity. Our
[1:09:41]
mission is for Contra Costa
[1:09:43]
County to be safe, supportive
[1:09:45]
and welcoming environment for
[1:09:48]
all our lgbtq plus clients,
[1:09:50]
consumers, customers, patients,
[1:09:53]
residents, and staff. We feel
[1:09:55]
strongly and passionately about
[1:09:57]
continuing and creating and
[1:09:59]
ensuring safety and health for
[1:10:01]
all members of the lgbtq plus
[1:10:03]
community, especially in times
[1:10:05]
of our greatest need. We
[1:10:06]
participate in community
[1:10:08]
outreach events and train
[1:10:10]
staff, both within Contra Costa
[1:10:13]
Health and externally on lgbtq
[1:10:15]
plus identity health and
[1:10:17]
creating safe, compassionate
[1:10:19]
and welcoming environments. We
[1:10:20]
collaborate with departments
[1:10:22]
across Contra Costa Health to
[1:10:23]
develop and deliver training to
[1:10:26]
staff members every year,
[1:10:27]
including regular monthly
[1:10:29]
training to incoming Contra
[1:10:31]
Costa Regional Medical Center.
[1:10:34]
New hires. Last year in 2024,
[1:10:37]
we trained over 600 staff. So
[1:10:40]
far in 2025. We have provided
[1:10:41]
training for around 300
[1:10:43]
community members, both within
[1:10:45]
Contra Costa Health and
[1:10:46]
throughout collaboration with
[1:10:49]
Contra Costa Library, La
[1:10:50]
Concordia Wellness and the
[1:10:52]
Rainbow Community Center. For
[1:10:54]
more information about the
[1:10:55]
Pride Initiative and our work,
[1:11:00]
you MAY visit our website at.
[1:11:02]
Thank you for the recognition
[1:11:03]
of JUNE as Pride Month and be
[1:11:06]
on behalf of myself and the
[1:11:07]
rest of the Pride Initiative
[1:11:08]
Team, we thank you
[1:11:09]
wholeheartedly for your support.
[1:11:18]
Thank you. Good morning, Chair
[1:11:20]
Anderson. Members of the board,
[1:11:22]
and uh, thank you, Supervisor
[1:11:23]
Carlson, for the presentation
[1:11:26]
and bringing us all up here to
[1:11:27]
celebrate Pride Month. I
[1:11:29]
doctor Stephen Field. I
[1:11:29]
m the
[1:11:31]
medical director for behavioral
[1:11:32]
health, and I
[1:11:33]
m a Contra Costa
[1:11:35]
resident and a member of the
[1:11:40]
lgbt. Nervous. Sorry, lgbtq
[1:11:42]
plus community. And I
[1:11:43]
m also
[1:11:46]
Gemini for the month of JUNE.
[1:11:48]
Uh, but the recognition of JUNE
[1:11:49]
is pride month. And the
[1:11:50]
collaboration with our friends
[1:11:53]
at the pride Initiative. And
[1:11:54]
the community intersects
[1:11:56]
closely with the mental
[1:11:58]
wellness of our community. Uh,
[1:12:00]
responding to the local needs
[1:12:02]
of Contra Costa, Contra Costa
[1:12:04]
Health and the Youth Crisis
[1:12:06]
Stabilization Unit late last
[1:12:09]
summer. And in doing so, we
[1:12:11]
were able to provide trauma
[1:12:13]
informed care where youth and
[1:12:15]
adolescents can be truly seen,
[1:12:19]
heard and treated as
[1:12:21]
individuals and, uh, person
[1:12:24]
centered approaches. This care
[1:12:28]
is crucial in times of crisis,
[1:12:28]
and it
[1:12:29]
s also crucial to
[1:12:31]
continue along the behavioral
[1:12:34]
continuum. Uh, behavioral
[1:12:37]
health care, uh, provides care
[1:12:41]
that assures that lgbtq I plus,
[1:12:44]
uh, respects and is inclusive
[1:12:46]
and provided through safety and
[1:12:50]
trust, emotional availability,
[1:12:53]
consistent support,
[1:12:55]
encouragement of exploration
[1:12:58]
and open communication. And
[1:12:59]
these are actually the key
[1:13:01]
tenets of secure attachment,
[1:13:04]
which is part of attachment
[1:13:05]
theory, which was developed 70
[1:13:07]
years ago and is quite relevant
[1:13:11]
still today. Uh, research shows
[1:13:15]
that the lgbt, btk, plus youth
[1:13:18]
who form such bonds through
[1:13:20]
secure attachment and, uh, they
[1:13:22]
tend to experience stronger
[1:13:24]
family acceptance and have more
[1:13:26]
supportive environments showing
[1:13:28]
lower rates of depression,
[1:13:31]
lower suicide attempts, and it
[1:13:32]
consistently shows that youth
[1:13:34]
who feel affirmed and feel safe
[1:13:35]
have significantly better
[1:13:36]
outcomes with their mental
[1:13:40]
health. As a proud member of
[1:13:42]
Contra Costa Health and of the
[1:13:44]
lgbtq community, we
[1:13:45]
re super
[1:13:46]
grateful for the unwavering
[1:13:48]
support and recognition of
[1:13:50]
Pride Month and your
[1:13:51]
leadership. Uh, Supervisor
[1:13:54]
Carlson, uh, to be someone to,
[1:13:56]
uh, make us all feel welcome
[1:13:59]
and again here before the board
[1:14:02]
and, uh, we are very much
[1:14:03]
cherished. The commitment to
[1:14:13]
serve our community. Thank you.
[1:14:14]
Again, my gratitude. I mean,
[1:14:14]
it
[1:14:15]
s really exciting. And it
[1:14:16]
it
[1:14:18]
s also humbling for this
[1:14:20]
board to declare JUNE as Pride
[1:14:22]
Month and to recognize all of
[1:14:24]
you, uh, doing the work. I
[1:14:25]
mean, it really is. We we
[1:14:25]
re
[1:14:27]
here to support you. But
[1:14:29]
really, when it comes to doing
[1:14:30]
the important work and
[1:14:32]
supporting our community, um,
[1:14:32]
you
[1:14:33]
re the boots on the ground.
[1:14:33]
You
[1:14:34]
re the ones that are making
[1:14:35]
it happen. And so just I
[1:14:36]
m so
[1:14:38]
grateful for all of the hard
[1:14:40]
work and the allyship and the
[1:14:43]
support, um, as well. Thank you.
[1:14:44]
And we
[1:14:45]
d love to join you all
[1:14:46]
for a picture. We have some
[1:14:47]
comments, some of. Us. Do you
[1:14:49]
want some comments? Go ahead.
[1:14:50]
John and Diane. Oh I
[1:14:52]
m sorry.
[1:14:53]
John pressed the speaker
[1:14:54]
button. So please go ahead.
[1:14:56]
John. Thank you Ken, thanks for
[1:14:58]
your comments. I think, um, I
[1:15:00]
reflect back when we first
[1:15:03]
started our pride. Um,
[1:15:04]
recognition here at the board a
[1:15:07]
number of years ago, and, you
[1:15:07]
know, there
[1:15:08]
s times in history
[1:15:09]
when we feel we
[1:15:10]
re making
[1:15:11]
progress. And for a number of
[1:15:13]
years we felt we were making
[1:15:15]
progress. And then sometimes
[1:15:16]
something happens and we
[1:15:18]
question whether that whether
[1:15:20]
we really, truly made as much
[1:15:22]
progress as we thought we had.
[1:15:22]
And I think there
[1:15:23]
s a lot of
[1:15:26]
people I hear from who say,
[1:15:29]
especially young people who
[1:15:29]
say, I
[1:15:30]
m not sure we
[1:15:31]
ve made as
[1:15:33]
much progress as we thought we
[1:15:35]
had. And I just want to
[1:15:37]
acknowledge all of the groups,
[1:15:39]
all the wonderful community
[1:15:40]
based organizations I get to
[1:15:41]
see rise more because it
[1:15:45]
enrichment. Um, but also the
[1:15:46]
work of our county departments,
[1:15:47]
especially health, which
[1:15:48]
started the pride initiative
[1:15:50]
back in 2009. I remember when
[1:15:54]
we started that, um, and I
[1:15:54]
think it
[1:15:55]
s especially important
[1:15:58]
for allies to not be on the
[1:16:00]
sidelines, right. That that
[1:16:02]
what happens is when you
[1:16:03]
re on
[1:16:04]
the sidelines and don
[1:16:05]
t speak
[1:16:07]
out or speak up, you
[1:16:07]
re letting
[1:16:08]
other things happen. You
[1:16:08]
re
[1:16:11]
letting other people control
[1:16:13]
the narrative. And, um, and
[1:16:16]
there there are so many things
[1:16:18]
happening, uh, on the federal
[1:16:19]
level and in this country that
[1:16:21]
are creating fear. And I think,
[1:16:21]
Ken, that
[1:16:22]
s what your comments
[1:16:24]
get to this point of support,
[1:16:26]
all of us coming together and
[1:16:28]
showing strength. Um, allies,
[1:16:31]
as well as the lgbtq plus
[1:16:33]
community, that and that we all
[1:16:34]
commit to speaking out when we
[1:16:36]
see hate, when we see
[1:16:39]
discrimination. Um, and, you
[1:16:41]
know, the symbolism that that
[1:16:43]
the Trump administration is
[1:16:45]
taking is intended to create
[1:16:47]
that fear and not to validate
[1:16:49]
the community. I mean, the
[1:16:52]
effort to rename the Harvey
[1:16:54]
Milk, the Navy ship, um, and to
[1:16:57]
strip its name from Harvey Milk
[1:16:59]
is just, I think, a symbolic
[1:17:01]
action to try to point to
[1:17:02]
people, it
[1:17:04]
s okay not to
[1:17:06]
recognize those in the lgbtq
[1:17:07]
plus community. And we need to
[1:17:10]
say, no, that is not right. And
[1:17:12]
so thanks again for your
[1:17:13]
comments and for all of the
[1:17:15]
work that all of you are doing
[1:17:17]
in CBOs and the health
[1:17:18]
Department library across all
[1:17:22]
the departments. So thanks.
[1:17:28]
Thank you. Diane. And then
[1:17:31]
Chanel. Yes. Thank you, chair,
[1:17:32]
and thank you, Supervisor
[1:17:34]
Carlson, for bringing this
[1:17:36]
proclamation forward. And all
[1:17:38]
of the community groups. Um, I
[1:17:40]
just want to give my hats off
[1:17:42]
to Holly Tilghman again,
[1:17:44]
because I know she worked
[1:17:46]
really hard on this pride
[1:17:48]
parade a couple of years ago.
[1:17:50]
And even with all the pushback
[1:17:52]
that she receives as being the
[1:17:54]
only African American woman
[1:17:56]
that serves on the Clayton City
[1:17:58]
Council, but also bringing, a
[1:18:00]
pride parade to the city of
[1:18:02]
Clayton or town of Clayton. Um,
[1:18:04]
thank you for your courage and
[1:18:07]
being bold and doing that. Um,
[1:18:11]
m happy to be an ally. And
[1:18:12]
you really brought community
[1:18:14]
together here in Contra Costa
[1:18:16]
County to show that we all can
[1:18:18]
be allies. And so I just think
[1:18:18]
it
[1:18:20]
s important I did write a
[1:18:22]
couple of words, um, that I
[1:18:24]
wanted to share as well. Just
[1:18:28]
as we recognize, um, lbgtq plus
[1:18:31]
Pride month. Um, just to affirm
[1:18:32]
the truth that we should never
[1:18:34]
be in question because everyone
[1:18:37]
deserves to live in dignity.
[1:18:39]
Everyone deserves to be safe,
[1:18:40]
and everyone needs to be their
[1:18:42]
true, authentic self without
[1:18:44]
fear. And I think that
[1:18:46]
important, even as being an
[1:18:50]
African American woman, we are.
[1:18:50]
It
[1:18:50]
s important that we
[1:18:51]
re all
[1:18:53]
coming together for unity of
[1:18:55]
each other. And as it was
[1:18:57]
shared on the federal level and
[1:18:59]
sometimes everything is so much
[1:19:01]
about politics. But lives are
[1:19:04]
not about politics. We need to
[1:19:05]
just make sure that we
[1:19:05]
re clear
[1:19:09]
that progress remains fragile
[1:19:11]
and rights are being challenged
[1:19:13]
each and every day. And when I
[1:19:15]
worry about our young people,
[1:19:17]
especially our black and brown
[1:19:19]
people that are part of the
[1:19:22]
lgbtq plus community are often
[1:19:25]
feeling unseen, unheard, and
[1:19:25]
they
[1:19:27]
re depressed because they
[1:19:27]
can
[1:19:29]
t be their true authentic
[1:19:29]
self. So that
[1:19:30]
s why this
[1:19:31]
proclamation is important.
[1:19:32]
That
[1:19:33]
s why it matters. That
[1:19:36]
why allyship matters, and
[1:19:36]
that
[1:19:38]
s why this county just
[1:19:40]
thank you. Each of the board
[1:19:41]
members, for your courage to
[1:19:43]
just continue to lead with
[1:19:44]
equity and making sure that
[1:19:48]
every single resident matters.
[1:19:55]
Thank you. Gentlemen, please go
[1:19:56]
ahead. So, Ken, you
[1:19:57]
re a little
[1:20:02]
bit older than me. You know,
[1:20:04]
the thing that I, I think about
[1:20:08]
is that there, um, this is
[1:20:10]
still a very difficult time,
[1:20:12]
but some people ask, why? Why
[1:20:15]
do we do this? And I have to
[1:20:16]
remind them that there was a
[1:20:17]
time when people actually felt
[1:20:20]
they had to hide, and there was
[1:20:24]
no encouragement to not hide.
[1:20:29]
There was a time when that that
[1:20:31]
held people back from being
[1:20:34]
able to live their lives. And
[1:20:36]
so I just it
[1:20:38]
s a good reminder
[1:20:40]
to remember where we
[1:20:41]
ve come
[1:20:43]
from and how much more we have
[1:20:48]
to do. So many of us have loved
[1:20:50]
ones, family members, friends,
[1:20:53]
people that we work with that
[1:20:56]
um, we just love. We just want
[1:20:58]
to love them and encourage them
[1:21:03]
to be their best. And so I, I
[1:21:07]
am really, um, grateful that we
[1:21:09]
have an advocate and you have
[1:21:11]
been graceful in this, and you
[1:21:14]
have been bold and you have
[1:21:18]
been loving and firm. So I
[1:21:18]
appreciate what you
[1:21:20]
ve done.
[1:21:22]
Holly. You know, I think you
[1:21:22]
re
[1:21:24]
a badass. Excuse my language,
[1:21:26]
but you really are. And I can
[1:21:29]
see your community hold you up
[1:21:34]
and helps you be bold as well.
[1:21:35]
And going back to what Chanel
[1:21:38]
said, if people have given the
[1:21:40]
right to be who they are, have
[1:21:43]
the dignity, feel safe, they
[1:21:46]
can contribute to the world and
[1:21:47]
they can make it a better
[1:21:49]
place. We all do better when we
[1:21:52]
all feel that way. So
[1:21:55]
congratulations on this. Um, on
[1:21:57]
this celebration proclamation
[1:21:59]
and keep going. And I
[1:22:00]
m with
[1:22:08]
you as well. Thank you. And I
[1:22:10]
will just say, I think my
[1:22:11]
colleagues have said what they
[1:22:13]
said very, very well. And and
[1:22:15]
just how important, especially
[1:22:17]
now that everyone be treated
[1:22:20]
with respect, with dignity, and
[1:22:22]
that we appreciate one
[1:22:22]
another
[1:22:23]
s strengths rather than
[1:22:25]
our differences. And so thank
[1:22:25]
you. And let
[1:22:26]
s all go take a
[1:23:41]
picture. I think a couple of
[1:23:56]
days and a couple of days ago.
[1:24:04]
I get this. You. I got the
[1:24:07]
shoes. Okay. Ready? One, two
[1:24:54]
three. Thank you. Recording in
[1:25:09]
progress. Recording in progress.
[1:25:10]
I think we
[1:25:13]
re recording. I hope
[1:25:14]
we were recording before we
[1:25:16]
could be in trouble. Okay. Our
[1:25:19]
next presentation, which is
[1:25:21]
presentation five, is to
[1:25:23]
recognize Juneteenth, a day of
[1:25:25]
observance to celebrate the
[1:25:26]
liberation of African Americans
[1:25:29]
and recognizing their enduring
[1:25:30]
contributions, amplifying their
[1:25:31]
voices and leadership. I
[1:25:34]
going to let supervisor Skills
[1:25:35]
Preston lead this off, and then
[1:25:37]
we will be turning it over to
[1:25:39]
Peter Kim, who is with our
[1:25:40]
Office of Racial Equity and
[1:25:42]
Social Justice and others who
[1:25:45]
are here to present as well.
[1:25:47]
Thank you. Chair. Today we
[1:25:49]
gather not just the issue of
[1:25:51]
proclamation, but to reflect on
[1:25:53]
the profound truth embedded in
[1:25:57]
our shared American story. On
[1:25:59]
JUNE 19th, 1865, more than two
[1:26:01]
years after PRESIDENT Lincoln
[1:26:05]
signed the nasa proclamation,
[1:26:06]
freedom finally reached the
[1:26:08]
last enslaved African Americans
[1:26:12]
in Galveston, Texas. That day.
[1:26:15]
Juneteenth became a living
[1:26:17]
symbol of delayed justice,
[1:26:20]
unyielding hope, and the
[1:26:24]
endured of human spirit for 160
[1:26:25]
years, Juneteenth has been a
[1:26:29]
day of memory and meaning kept
[1:26:31]
alive by the institutions kept
[1:26:33]
alive, not by the institutions,
[1:26:35]
but kept alive by our
[1:26:38]
community. Black families,
[1:26:40]
faith communities, cultural
[1:26:42]
stewards encouraged first
[1:26:44]
voices who refuse to let this
[1:26:48]
legacy go. It is thanks to them
[1:26:50]
we recognize this day as a
[1:26:53]
federal holiday, a county
[1:26:54]
holiday, and most importantly,
[1:26:58]
a call to action. Before he
[1:27:00]
passed, Supervisor Federal
[1:27:03]
Glover, my dear mentor and
[1:27:05]
predecessor shared something
[1:27:07]
with me that I carry with me
[1:27:09]
deeply. He said the most
[1:27:10]
important thing is that people
[1:27:11]
must work together. We must
[1:27:15]
build unity. Those words are
[1:27:18]
not only timeless. They are
[1:27:21]
timely. Nasa, the nasa patient
[1:27:23]
did not happen through a single
[1:27:26]
act or a single person. It was
[1:27:29]
a collective endeavor. The
[1:27:31]
recognition of Juneteenth as a
[1:27:34]
national holiday was not
[1:27:36]
granted. It was won through
[1:27:39]
decades of activism through
[1:27:40]
scholarships, through
[1:27:42]
storytelling, through coalition
[1:27:44]
building. And today, in this
[1:27:46]
moment where it has somehow
[1:27:49]
became fashionable in some
[1:27:53]
corners. The ideal of equity.
[1:27:55]
We have to make sure that we
[1:27:57]
remember that Supervisor Glover
[1:28:00]
wisdom. We must work together.
[1:28:04]
If we are to protect progress,
[1:28:06]
challenge injustice, and carry
[1:28:09]
forward the cause of equity,
[1:28:10]
not just when it
[1:28:10]
s easy, but
[1:28:11]
when it
[1:28:13]
s hard. We must do it
[1:28:16]
in partnership. We must do it
[1:28:18]
across lines of difference and
[1:28:20]
grounded in the moral of
[1:28:24]
respect and purpose. As the
[1:28:25]
first African American woman to
[1:28:27]
serve on this Board of
[1:28:28]
Supervisors and the first woman
[1:28:30]
of any race to serve in
[1:28:32]
district five, I do not only
[1:28:34]
carry this honor lightly, I
[1:28:36]
carry it with the weight of
[1:28:38]
history and the responsibility
[1:28:41]
to ensure that representation
[1:28:43]
translates into real, lasting
[1:28:45]
change. This proclamation is
[1:28:47]
not merely a symbol. It is
[1:28:50]
rooted in truth. It affirms
[1:28:54]
that while formally these
[1:28:56]
things occur, but the struggle
[1:28:58]
for justice, equity, and
[1:29:01]
healing continues. Systemic
[1:29:03]
racism still denies too many of
[1:29:05]
our residents access to
[1:29:07]
opportunity, health, safety and
[1:29:11]
belonging. It is our moral
[1:29:13]
purpose to move forward and
[1:29:16]
recognize and repair, to invest
[1:29:19]
in well-being, dignity and
[1:29:21]
leadership of African American
[1:29:23]
residents, especially those who
[1:29:25]
have been harmed or
[1:29:26]
marginalized. Here in Contra
[1:29:29]
Costa County. We have seen that
[1:29:32]
happen through advocacy and
[1:29:33]
accountability. When voices
[1:29:35]
from East Contra Costa call for
[1:29:37]
action in the face of violence
[1:29:41]
and trauma. We responded, not
[1:29:44]
with silence, but with system
[1:29:46]
changes. The creation of the
[1:29:48]
African American Holistic
[1:29:51]
wellness and Resource Hub is
[1:29:54]
one example. So too is the
[1:29:55]
founding of the Office of
[1:29:57]
Racial Equity and Social
[1:30:01]
Justice, co-led by Doctor
[1:30:05]
Kendra Carr and MR. Peter Kim.
[1:30:07]
These are more than programs.
[1:30:09]
They are declarations that
[1:30:11]
Black Lives matter in every
[1:30:14]
measure of well-being and
[1:30:16]
education and housing and
[1:30:18]
maternal health and employment
[1:30:21]
and freedom from all harm. This
[1:30:22]
Juneteenth proclamation would
[1:30:25]
not exist without the labor and
[1:30:28]
leadership of community, faith
[1:30:31]
leaders, residents, advocates,
[1:30:34]
nonprofits, justice movement
[1:30:37]
leaders all have carried this
[1:30:39]
vision forward for decades.
[1:30:41]
They are the reason this county
[1:30:43]
declared racism as a public
[1:30:46]
health crisis. They are the
[1:30:48]
reason we gather today. Let
[1:30:50]
honor their labor by amplifying
[1:30:53]
their voices. And let
[1:30:53]
s also
[1:30:56]
lift up the wisdoms of 40
[1:30:59]
voices campaign. The Black
[1:31:01]
Alert service providers, our
[1:31:03]
young people demanding for
[1:31:07]
justice. Our elders, whose
[1:31:09]
memory stretches far beyond Jim
[1:31:12]
Crow to George Floyd.
[1:31:14]
Juneteenth is just not a day to
[1:31:16]
passively remember. It is a day
[1:31:20]
to actively recommit to equity,
[1:31:22]
to liberation, to a vision of
[1:31:24]
Contra Costa County, where
[1:31:26]
agencies dignity and
[1:31:29]
opportunity are inspirational
[1:31:34]
but not unacceptable at all.
[1:31:36]
This work is not about guilt.
[1:31:40]
It is about growth, not about
[1:31:42]
blame, but about becoming.
[1:31:43]
Becoming the county that every
[1:31:45]
resident deserve. So let
[1:31:46]
s move
[1:31:49]
forward, not just in words, not
[1:31:51]
just in a good deed. But let us
[1:31:53]
proclaim Juneteenth not only as
[1:31:55]
the day of observance, but as a
[1:31:57]
public commitment to the
[1:32:00]
unfinished work of freedom. So
[1:32:02]
to our community members here
[1:32:03]
today. I just want to thank you
[1:32:06]
for coming out and showing up.
[1:32:07]
We appreciate each and every
[1:32:10]
one of you. And to my fellow
[1:32:11]
supervisors, thank you so much
[1:32:14]
for standing in solidarity with
[1:32:16]
this proclamation and for our
[1:32:18]
community, bringing forth this
[1:32:21]
proclamation, and to our
[1:32:23]
ancestors who we always got to
[1:32:24]
remember, and our leaders who
[1:32:27]
are watching above whose chains
[1:32:29]
were broken, but whose dreams
[1:32:32]
remain within us. We honor you
[1:32:35]
by continuing this work and
[1:32:37]
happy Juneteenth to you all.
[1:32:48]
Thank you. Peter, please go
[1:32:50]
ahead. Thank you, Supervisor
[1:32:52]
Preston, for that profound and
[1:32:54]
necessary introduction. And
[1:32:55]
thank you for inviting the
[1:32:56]
spirit of Supervisor Federal
[1:32:58]
Glover into the room today.
[1:32:59]
Through the chair, Candace
[1:33:01]
Anderson. And to the board. My
[1:33:03]
name is Peter Kim, and along
[1:33:05]
with Kendra Carr, we are the
[1:33:06]
co-directors for the Office of
[1:33:07]
Racial Equity and Social
[1:33:10]
Justice. Uh, Kendra actually
[1:33:11]
sends her regrets that she
[1:33:11]
can
[1:33:12]
t join us today. She
[1:33:14]
actually overseas, but she
[1:33:15]
really wanted to be here for
[1:33:17]
this moment. Um, but I
[1:33:18]
m not
[1:33:20]
alone, as you see. Um, we have
[1:33:22]
those who have come today to
[1:33:24]
stand alongside our office and
[1:33:27]
one another to present this
[1:33:29]
resolution to you all in unity.
[1:33:30]
And if there are others in the
[1:33:31]
room today who have come to
[1:33:32]
join us, please, we invite you
[1:33:35]
to stand with us today. It is
[1:33:37]
with great honor and pleasure
[1:33:40]
that as a community of
[1:33:41]
individuals and organizations
[1:33:43]
committed to serving our
[1:33:44]
counties, black communities,
[1:33:46]
and other vulnerable and
[1:33:47]
marginalized communities, that
[1:33:49]
together we present this
[1:33:50]
resolution on behalf of the
[1:33:52]
Board of Supervisors,
[1:33:54]
acknowledging Juneteenth, its
[1:33:56]
history, and its continued
[1:33:58]
significance to our county and
[1:34:00]
to our nation. And while
[1:34:01]
Juneteenth, as mentioned, is
[1:34:03]
and has been a federally
[1:34:04]
recognized holiday for many
[1:34:04]
years, we
[1:34:05]
re just really
[1:34:07]
excited to be formally
[1:34:08]
recognizing this day to day
[1:34:10]
here through this official
[1:34:12]
proclamation. I do want to
[1:34:13]
recognize and thank Nami Contra
[1:34:14]
Costa, 40 voices, and the East
[1:34:17]
County naacp for initiating
[1:34:20]
this effort by initiating an
[1:34:22]
initial draft to our Board of
[1:34:24]
Supervisors. I also want to
[1:34:26]
appreciate Supervisor Scales
[1:34:28]
Preston, as well as Supervisor
[1:34:29]
Anderson and their offices for
[1:34:31]
their support. And immediately
[1:34:33]
recognizing the importance of
[1:34:35]
issuing this today. And, of
[1:34:37]
course, our office
[1:34:38]
wholeheartedly agree to support
[1:34:40]
the final drafting of this
[1:34:42]
proclamation, as it is an
[1:34:43]
opportunity not only to
[1:34:45]
celebrate the holiday, but to
[1:34:48]
also lift up and shine a light
[1:34:50]
on our long history of black
[1:34:52]
led organizations, service
[1:34:54]
providers, advocates, faith
[1:34:56]
leaders, and community members
[1:34:58]
who have been fighting for
[1:35:00]
decades in serving our black
[1:35:02]
communities here in Contra
[1:35:04]
Costa. So this is why today we
[1:35:06]
have representatives from that
[1:35:08]
network of providers and
[1:35:10]
advocates, including members of
[1:35:11]
our African American Holistic
[1:35:13]
Wellness and Resource Hub.
[1:35:15]
Feasibility Study steering
[1:35:16]
Committee, members of our
[1:35:18]
Racial Justice Oversight body,
[1:35:20]
and members from our office
[1:35:22]
inaugural cohort of grantees
[1:35:24]
who are serving our black
[1:35:25]
community with necessary
[1:35:27]
services. And so they will be
[1:35:28]
presenting this proclamation to
[1:35:29]
you all today. And they are
[1:35:32]
just a slice of the broad and
[1:35:33]
diverse network of
[1:35:34]
organizations and individuals
[1:35:37]
that work day in and day out
[1:35:39]
throughout our county,
[1:35:40]
addressing the needs of our
[1:35:42]
most vulnerable communities and
[1:35:44]
honoring the spirit that
[1:35:45]
animates this Juneteenth
[1:35:46]
holiday. So I
[1:35:46]
m going to go
[1:35:48]
ahead and step aside and allow
[1:35:49]
our first presenter to read the
[1:35:53]
proclamation to you all. In the
[1:35:55]
matter of recognizing
[1:35:57]
Juneteenth, a day of observance
[1:35:58]
to celebrate the liberation of
[1:36:00]
African Americans, recognize
[1:36:02]
their enduring contributions
[1:36:04]
and amplify their voices and
[1:36:10]
leadership. Whereas on JUNE
[1:36:14]
19th, 1865, in Galveston,
[1:36:16]
Texas, over two years after
[1:36:18]
PRESIDENT Abraham Lincoln
[1:36:20]
declared all enslaved persons
[1:36:24]
Free Union Army troops enforced
[1:36:26]
the Emancipation Proclamation
[1:36:29]
and freed the last enslaved
[1:36:33]
African Americans. And whereas
[1:36:35]
their emancipation was
[1:36:37]
celebrated on JUNE 19th,
[1:36:41]
Juneteenth and this marks 160th
[1:36:43]
year of the oldest known
[1:36:46]
celebration commemorating the
[1:36:48]
abolishment of slavery in the
[1:36:52]
United States. And Whereas this
[1:36:53]
years marks the fourth
[1:36:55]
anniversary since Juneteenth
[1:36:57]
became a federal holiday in
[1:36:59]
2021, when the federal
[1:37:00]
government acknowledged and
[1:37:01]
condemned the history of
[1:37:03]
slavery in our nation and
[1:37:05]
recognized the lasting impact
[1:37:07]
of systemic racism and inequity
[1:37:11]
in our society. And. Whereas
[1:37:14]
these enduring. Inequities and
[1:37:15]
harms have created and
[1:37:17]
perpetuated diminished quality
[1:37:20]
of life, decreased
[1:37:22]
opportunities and barriers to
[1:37:24]
economic stability and safety,
[1:37:26]
they have led to elevated rates
[1:37:29]
of preventable chronic illness
[1:37:31]
such as heart disease,
[1:37:33]
diabetes, hypertension and
[1:37:35]
cancer, and significantly
[1:37:38]
higher rates of fetal death and
[1:37:43]
severe maternal morbidities and.
[1:37:47]
Whereas black males are among
[1:37:49]
the most harmed and
[1:37:50]
marginalized members of the
[1:37:53]
African American community and
[1:37:55]
experienced disproportionately
[1:37:57]
negative outcomes and mental
[1:38:01]
and physical health, criminal,
[1:38:03]
legal system involvement,
[1:38:06]
educational achievement, school
[1:38:09]
disciplinary interventions,
[1:38:11]
employment and housing,
[1:38:14]
homelessness, and other metrics
[1:38:19]
of well-being. And whereas. We
[1:38:21]
commit to addressing these root
[1:38:23]
causes and negative outcomes
[1:38:25]
and investing in protective
[1:38:28]
factors and meaningful repair
[1:38:31]
through concrete action and
[1:38:33]
accountability. And whereas
[1:38:35]
there is an urgent need to
[1:38:37]
support processes of
[1:38:39]
recognition, healing and
[1:38:42]
justice and uplift and expand
[1:38:44]
opportunities for African
[1:38:47]
Americans, continued success,
[1:38:50]
leadership and well-being. And
[1:38:52]
whereas for decades, community
[1:38:54]
led efforts by diverse and
[1:38:56]
expansive county wide network
[1:38:58]
of black led community
[1:38:59]
organizations, service
[1:39:01]
providers, advocates, faith
[1:39:03]
leaders, and resident leaders
[1:39:04]
have advocated for
[1:39:06]
transformative change, as
[1:39:07]
demonstrated by urging the
[1:39:10]
Board of Supervisors to declare
[1:39:12]
racism a public health crisis
[1:39:14]
and create an Office of Racial
[1:39:21]
Equity and Social Justice and.
[1:39:24]
Change began when truth is
[1:39:26]
spoken aloud. It was far too
[1:39:28]
difficult to get this
[1:39:30]
proclamation through this
[1:39:31]
process, and I wouldn
[1:39:31]
t be
[1:39:33]
honoring my community if I
[1:39:33]
didn
[1:39:35]
t share that. When my
[1:39:37]
staff put this forward and went
[1:39:39]
through too many channels of
[1:39:40]
barriers. I
[1:39:41]
m happy to be here
[1:39:41]
today and I
[1:39:42]
ll I
[1:39:43]
ll read the
[1:39:47]
whereas. Whereas in response to
[1:39:49]
the advocacy and the leadership
[1:39:52]
of Nami Contra Costa, 40 voices
[1:39:55]
campaign and other local other
[1:39:56]
local organizations, faith
[1:39:57]
leaders and residents that
[1:39:59]
spoke out against police
[1:40:01]
violence and trauma experienced
[1:40:02]
by black and other communities
[1:40:04]
of color in East County. The
[1:40:05]
Board of Supervisors approved
[1:40:07]
the establishment of an African
[1:40:10]
American Holistic Wellness and
[1:40:12]
Resource Hub and expanded the
[1:40:14]
delivery and hope to expand the
[1:40:17]
delivery of critical social
[1:40:21]
services for black residents.
[1:40:26]
We can all do better. Whereas
[1:40:28]
this. Nationally recognized.
[1:40:30]
Holiday of. Juneteenth is an
[1:40:32]
opportunity to reflect on the
[1:40:34]
destructive and ongoing legacy
[1:40:36]
of slavery, Recommitting
[1:40:38]
ourselves to the work of
[1:40:40]
equity, liberty and justice,
[1:40:43]
and reminding us of the
[1:40:45]
centuries of struggle, courage
[1:40:48]
and hope we must prepare us.
[1:40:50]
That must propel us to make
[1:40:53]
good on the full promise of
[1:40:56]
agency, dignity, opportunity
[1:40:58]
for all. Contra Costa County
[1:41:01]
residents. Now, therefore, be
[1:41:04]
it resolved. That Contra Costa
[1:41:06]
County Board of Supervisors
[1:41:10]
proclaims JUNE 19th, 2025,
[1:41:12]
Juneteenth, a day of observance
[1:41:14]
and affirmation to acknowledge
[1:41:16]
the liberation of African
[1:41:19]
Americans from bondage.
[1:41:21]
Recognize their sustained
[1:41:23]
contributions and amplify the
[1:41:25]
voices of our most harmed and
[1:41:31]
impacted residents. Thank you
[1:41:33]
very much. On behalf of our
[1:41:34]
network of folks. Thank you,
[1:41:36]
Board of Supervisors, for
[1:41:37]
honoring this day. Thank you so
[1:41:46]
much. Thank you. And I want to
[1:41:48]
express my gratitude to all of
[1:41:48]
you. I think it
[1:41:49]
s important,
[1:41:51]
you know, in light of Gigi
[1:41:54]
comments to note that
[1:41:56]
oftentimes when we get a
[1:41:57]
request for a proclamation,
[1:41:58]
there are several different
[1:42:00]
groups or individuals that want
[1:42:02]
to be part of that
[1:42:03]
proclamation. And the
[1:42:04]
proclamation is something that
[1:42:05]
the Board of Supervisors, we
[1:42:06]
re
[1:42:08]
adopting it. This is something
[1:42:10]
that we are saying we agree
[1:42:12]
with. We are proclaiming this
[1:42:14]
and what we have before us
[1:42:16]
today. While it took a little
[1:42:17]
circuitous route because I did
[1:42:19]
want it going by supervisor
[1:42:20]
skills PRESIDENT
[1:42:20]
S office, I
[1:42:22]
did want our Office of Racial
[1:42:24]
Equity and Social Justice
[1:42:25]
weighing in to make it a
[1:42:28]
document that reflected our
[1:42:29]
entire community that is
[1:42:31]
honoring JUNE 19th. And what we
[1:42:33]
have before is, I think, really
[1:42:34]
does reflect that. So while
[1:42:35]
Gigi, I know that
[1:42:37]
frustrating, sometimes it takes
[1:42:38]
it
[1:42:39]
s a process. It
[1:42:39]
s it
[1:42:40]
s a
[1:42:41]
sausage making. But this is a
[1:42:43]
very, very important
[1:42:43]
proclamation. And I
[1:42:44]
m honored
[1:42:46]
that we are able, as a board of
[1:42:48]
Supervisors, to be proclaiming
[1:42:49]
JUNE 19th that several years
[1:42:51]
ago, we did make it a holiday
[1:42:53]
for Contra Costa County. This
[1:42:55]
is we all know when we look at
[1:42:57]
the statistics, whether it be
[1:42:58]
in our health, whether it be in
[1:43:00]
our criminal justice system, we
[1:43:04]
do see a very sad
[1:43:05]
overrepresentation,
[1:43:06]
particularly of black male. And
[1:43:08]
that is highlighted in this
[1:43:10]
proclamation. And we want to
[1:43:11]
create an environment of
[1:43:14]
respect of one where everyone
[1:43:15]
prospers in our community. And
[1:43:17]
I think JUNE 19th is a terrific
[1:43:19]
way to honor this holiday. And
[1:43:20]
so I
[1:43:21]
m going to go ahead. I
[1:43:21]
ve
[1:43:23]
got supervisors who also wish
[1:43:24]
to speak. John, do you want to
[1:43:26]
go first this time. I. I don
[1:43:27]
have to go first. I
[1:43:27]
ll let
[1:43:28]
someone else go first and I
[1:43:29]
ll
[1:43:32]
go after. Okay. Can you go? And
[1:43:32]
then I
[1:43:33]
m going to let Diane go.
[1:43:34]
And then I
[1:43:34]
m going to let you
[1:43:35]
go. And Chanel, I
[1:43:36]
m going to
[1:43:39]
let you close this up. I it
[1:43:41]
so hard to follow Chanel
[1:43:42]
words because they
[1:43:42]
re so
[1:43:44]
impactful. But I
[1:43:44]
ll just share
[1:43:46]
the burden of history is, um,
[1:43:48]
is a lot to shoulder when
[1:43:48]
you
[1:43:50]
re the first right in and
[1:43:50]
there
[1:43:53]
s so much, um, that you
[1:43:54]
can do. And I
[1:43:54]
m, I
[1:43:55]
m excited
[1:43:57]
for the work you
[1:43:58]
re doing. I
[1:43:59]
just want to share that, um,
[1:44:00]
because I really can
[1:44:01]
t expand
[1:44:04]
on everything you said
[1:44:06]
articulately. Um, but again,
[1:44:06]
it
[1:44:06]
s it
[1:44:08]
s an opportunity. While
[1:44:09]
this has been declared a
[1:44:10]
holiday. And I think that
[1:44:11]
amazing. Um, it
[1:44:12]
s really,
[1:44:14]
again, a call to action, a call
[1:44:17]
to remembrance. Um, a call to
[1:44:22]
come together. And I think it
[1:44:23]
really important that we face
[1:44:25]
our history and we face our
[1:44:29]
true history. Um, and with
[1:44:31]
that, we see that there are the
[1:44:34]
lasting impacts, that history
[1:44:36]
has, has put upon us and gives
[1:44:38]
us that burden to try and
[1:44:42]
overcome as we go forward. Um,
[1:44:43]
and I think each and every day,
[1:44:45]
at least for me, as we sit up
[1:44:47]
here and we make decisions that
[1:44:49]
impact our communities, it
[1:44:51]
what will that lasting impact
[1:44:54]
be? Will it be positive? Will
[1:44:55]
it be growth? Will it be
[1:44:57]
advancement towards a better
[1:44:59]
future, or will we, 100 years
[1:45:01]
from now, have someone looking
[1:45:04]
back and saying their lasting
[1:45:06]
impacts in a negative way on
[1:45:08]
the world because of them? So
[1:45:09]
again, I think it
[1:45:10]
s really
[1:45:12]
important that we recognize our
[1:45:14]
history, we accept our history,
[1:45:15]
we acknowledge our history, and
[1:45:17]
then we move forward and we
[1:45:19]
build a better future. And we
[1:45:21]
do that by repairing the harms
[1:45:22]
that we have created. Thank
[1:45:27]
you. Diane. Uh, first I want to
[1:45:30]
say to Chanel, um, your
[1:45:34]
presence on the board brings so
[1:45:38]
much hope. The way you speak
[1:45:41]
and represent is with a lot of
[1:45:45]
grace. And what you say is very
[1:45:48]
impactful. So I appreciate you.
[1:45:50]
Um, it
[1:45:51]
s not always easy when
[1:45:52]
you first get on the board to
[1:45:54]
kind of stand up and you
[1:45:54]
ve,
[1:45:56]
um, had to and you
[1:45:57]
ve been
[1:45:59]
given that place. And so I just
[1:46:01]
want to recognize the grace and
[1:46:02]
how I
[1:46:04]
m really proud to work
[1:46:06]
with you on these issues.
[1:46:08]
Peter, I know you said that
[1:46:10]
this was bringing everybody
[1:46:11]
together, and that was your
[1:46:12]
theme, and that
[1:46:13]
s why everybody
[1:46:16]
is here. And I appreciate you.
[1:46:19]
And I understand that in
[1:46:20]
anything we don
[1:46:21]
t always agree
[1:46:22]
on everything, on what we
[1:46:22]
re
[1:46:24]
supposed to be doing and what
[1:46:26]
direction, but I really believe
[1:46:28]
everybody has the same goal,
[1:46:30]
and that is to give everybody
[1:46:34]
the opportunity to be their
[1:46:35]
best to similar to what we were
[1:46:39]
talking about earlier. And so I
[1:46:40]
appreciate you bringing this.
[1:46:45]
And, um, making JUNE Juneteenth
[1:46:48]
an event where people can learn
[1:46:50]
about the past so that we can
[1:46:52]
make the future better. So
[1:46:56]
thank you. I want to first
[1:46:58]
start by thanking all of you
[1:47:00]
for being here. Um, and to read
[1:47:02]
the the resolution. But I think
[1:47:05]
more importantly, I mean, life
[1:47:07]
is more than just about
[1:47:09]
resolutions, right? And all I
[1:47:12]
know, all of you are working in
[1:47:16]
various ways to correct the
[1:47:18]
problems of history, to correct
[1:47:21]
the racism, the inequity that
[1:47:23]
exists. And frankly, that
[1:47:25]
even more important than the
[1:47:26]
resolution. And I see Willie
[1:47:28]
here with the Richmond naacp
[1:47:30]
and your advocacy and get Nami
[1:47:34]
and Town Hall and Phil Arnold,
[1:47:35]
all, all, all I don
[1:47:35]
t want to
[1:47:37]
name all of you, but all of you
[1:47:39]
are doing really important
[1:47:40]
work. And I think the true test
[1:47:41]
comes that we
[1:47:41]
re not just here
[1:47:43]
listening to you in this
[1:47:44]
resolution. It
[1:47:46]
s acting on it.
[1:47:48]
Right. And I think, you know,
[1:47:48]
we
[1:47:49]
ve done that in the past,
[1:47:50]
but we
[1:47:51]
ve got a lot more
[1:47:54]
decisions to make in the future.
[1:47:56]
Um, you know, when and I always
[1:47:58]
want to recognize the Hall
[1:48:01]
family. Um, torn your family
[1:48:03]
because your son, who was, um,
[1:48:05]
who was tragically killed by a
[1:48:07]
police officer while suffering
[1:48:11]
a mental health crisis led to,
[1:48:12]
uh, the effort of creating our
[1:48:14]
24 over seven behavioral health
[1:48:16]
crisis response and naming the
[1:48:18]
call center, the Miles Hall
[1:48:20]
call center to say his name. So
[1:48:23]
that was action. And I think,
[1:48:24]
Phil, remember your work over
[1:48:28]
the years in advocating for an
[1:48:29]
Office of Racial Equity?
[1:48:31]
Different names, but an Office
[1:48:33]
of racial equity, which led to
[1:48:34]
Supervisor Glover and I, you
[1:48:36]
know, bringing forward the
[1:48:37]
proposal to actually create the
[1:48:39]
office and for this board to
[1:48:40]
unanimously approve
[1:48:41]
establishing that office. I
[1:48:44]
mean, it came because of your
[1:48:47]
work over the years. So, um,
[1:48:49]
and, Gigi, your and and others
[1:48:52]
here today work on an African
[1:48:53]
American wellness center. So i
[1:48:54]
think that
[1:48:55]
s really what to me,
[1:48:57]
this is about not just
[1:48:59]
acknowledging Juneteenth, but
[1:49:01]
acknowledging, as I think as
[1:49:03]
Chanel says, that, um, you
[1:49:04]
know, how we sort of move
[1:49:06]
forward with this and create
[1:49:09]
equality and equity and, um,
[1:49:09]
and I know we
[1:49:09]
re going to be
[1:49:11]
talking about that later on, an
[1:49:13]
item on our agenda a little
[1:49:15]
bit. Um, so I just want to
[1:49:17]
thank all of you for all the
[1:49:18]
work you
[1:49:20]
ve done and the work
[1:49:22]
that still is yet to be done,
[1:49:24]
just like in the previous item.
[1:49:26]
Um, on the lgbtq plus
[1:49:27]
community, I think the the
[1:49:30]
question that I hear also many
[1:49:32]
people ask is the progress we
[1:49:33]
sometimes think we have made.
[1:49:34]
We haven
[1:49:35]
t come as far as we
[1:49:37]
thought, and we are again
[1:49:39]
seeing an attack on equity
[1:49:41]
across this country. Um, and I
[1:49:44]
know this board has stood firm
[1:49:46]
and we we want to continue to
[1:49:48]
support the work that all of
[1:49:49]
you are doing in our own
[1:49:50]
departments are doing. So
[1:49:53]
thanks for being here. And, um,
[1:49:54]
for those who read it and those
[1:49:56]
who stood in support and didn
[1:49:57]
read it, but we
[1:49:57]
re here to
[1:49:58]
support. Thank you for your
[1:50:01]
work every day. Thank you. And
[1:50:02]
Chanel, anything else you
[1:50:05]
like to add? Yes. I just want
[1:50:07]
to thank you all for coming
[1:50:08]
out. I know it
[1:50:08]
s early in the
[1:50:10]
morning. You all have a job and
[1:50:12]
can be doing something else,
[1:50:14]
but you came out to represent
[1:50:16]
our African American community,
[1:50:18]
so thank you for that. Um,
[1:50:21]
thank you, Gigi. And, um, Naomi
[1:50:23]
and the 40 voices for all of
[1:50:25]
your work, um, for bringing
[1:50:26]
forward this proclamation with
[1:50:30]
East County naacp. Um, and just
[1:50:32]
thank all of the leaders, our
[1:50:34]
faith leaders, our community
[1:50:35]
leaders. I don
[1:50:35]
t want to leave
[1:50:37]
anyone out because I know
[1:50:38]
everyone is doing something
[1:50:40]
behind the scenes. I know
[1:50:42]
Willie Mims. I just think of
[1:50:44]
him right now and, you know,
[1:50:45]
he
[1:50:45]
ll say, I
[1:50:46]
m in the trenches.
[1:50:47]
I don
[1:50:48]
t need any accolades. I
[1:50:49]
doing the work, I
[1:50:49]
m getting the
[1:50:51]
work done. And he was
[1:50:53]
definitely in the trenches
[1:50:57]
doing that good work. So please
[1:50:59]
continue to to do the work,
[1:51:01]
continue to stay on me and stay
[1:51:03]
on us. Um, because it keeps our
[1:51:06]
eyes open to know what we need
[1:51:07]
to do to continue to push
[1:51:12]
forward. So thank you again.
[1:51:21]
Now we. We would would like to
[1:51:22]
have everyone come forward so
[1:51:24]
we can take a photo with you
[1:51:28]
with a proclamation. Thank you,
[1:51:39]
MR.. That
[1:51:43]
s the first. That
[1:51:43]
s a
[1:52:37]
great vision. Yeah. I
[1:52:48]
m not.
[1:52:49]
Yeah. We can we can make it
[1:52:59]
work. Is you guys all ready to
[1:53:06]
go? Okay, guys, here we go. All
[1:53:18]
right. Go here first. Right.
[1:53:36]
Okay. One, two. Okay, I think
[1:53:36]
we
[1:54:07]
re good. Thank you very much.
[1:54:16]
Are you going? Oh. No. Now
[1:54:16]
we
[1:54:17]
re going to be in, like.
[1:54:18]
What time is it? We
[1:54:18]
ll be here
[1:54:20]
at least till 12. I think we
[1:54:20]
re
[1:54:21]
going to come back. But at this
[1:54:48]
point I feel. We get. It. Oh.
[1:54:57]
You. Okay, I
[1:54:58]
m going to start
[1:55:00]
our next presentation. Even
[1:55:01]
though my colleagues aren
[1:55:03]
quite back at the dais. Um,
[1:55:04]
this has been a morning of a
[1:55:05]
lot of very important
[1:55:08]
presentations covering, uh,
[1:55:10]
really some diverse topics, but
[1:55:12]
things that make our community
[1:55:15]
who we are today. And so our
[1:55:18]
final presentation today is to
[1:55:21]
proclaim JUNE 2025 as elder
[1:55:22]
Independent Adult Abuse
[1:55:24]
Awareness Month. Um, this is
[1:55:26]
something very near and dear to
[1:55:28]
my heart. As many of you know,
[1:55:30]
my father is 95 years old and
[1:55:33]
spends much of his time with me
[1:55:36]
and I am just amazed at how
[1:55:39]
many fraudulent letters, phone
[1:55:41]
calls, emails when I go into
[1:55:42]
his ema account. Fortunately,
[1:55:43]
he doesn
[1:55:44]
t have people trying
[1:55:47]
to trick him into, um, doing
[1:55:50]
things despite him being a
[1:55:52]
retired lawyer. Completely
[1:55:54]
mentally adept. But it
[1:55:54]
s it
[1:55:56]
very sad. And those are the
[1:55:58]
more subtle ones. And what we
[1:56:01]
have today is even more where
[1:56:03]
we have so many instances of
[1:56:06]
much greater abuse of some of
[1:56:08]
our, our elderly population
[1:56:09]
that have worked so hard,
[1:56:12]
deserve to enjoy their lives
[1:56:12]
and don
[1:56:14]
t necessarily have that
[1:56:17]
that opportunity because of the
[1:56:19]
evil of others in our
[1:56:20]
community. So, Tracy, thank you
[1:56:21]
for being here. And it looks
[1:56:22]
like you
[1:56:23]
re going to lead us
[1:56:24]
off. I see marvelous right
[1:56:24]
behind you, but you
[1:56:25]
ve got the
[1:56:26]
mic. So I think you
[1:56:27]
re taking
[1:56:30]
off. I do. Good morning, Chair
[1:56:31]
Anderson and members of the
[1:56:31]
board. I
[1:56:33]
m Tracy Murray, the
[1:56:34]
director of aging and adult
[1:56:35]
services. I
[1:56:36]
m joined today by
[1:56:39]
my boss, doctor Marla Stewart.
[1:56:41]
Carolyn Bodie, deputy director,
[1:56:43]
Marcy Harrah, division manager.
[1:56:45]
And as you can see, many
[1:56:47]
members of our Adult Protective
[1:56:49]
services team, uh, today we are
[1:56:51]
recognizing JUNE as elder
[1:56:53]
Independent Adult Abuse
[1:56:55]
Awareness Month. This month,
[1:56:57]
including World Elder Abuse
[1:56:59]
Awareness Day on JUNE 15th,
[1:57:01]
contra Costa County stands with
[1:57:03]
communities worldwide and
[1:57:05]
acknowledging the reality of
[1:57:07]
elder and dependent adult
[1:57:09]
abuse. We are committed to
[1:57:11]
raising awareness, advancing
[1:57:13]
prevention strategies and
[1:57:14]
upholding the dignity and
[1:57:16]
safety of older and dependent
[1:57:19]
adults as a vital part of
[1:57:20]
building stronger, more
[1:57:22]
compassionate communities. This
[1:57:22]
year
[1:57:24]
s theme for elder abuse
[1:57:26]
awareness is Grow the
[1:57:27]
Conversation. Recognize the
[1:57:30]
signs, reduce the risks. As we
[1:57:32]
previously reported, older
[1:57:33]
adults make up the fastest
[1:57:35]
growing segment of our
[1:57:37]
population. According to the
[1:57:39]
2020 U.S. Census and estimates,
[1:57:43]
we have 267,000 individuals who
[1:57:45]
are 60 plus in Contra Costa
[1:57:48]
County, representing 23% of our
[1:57:51]
population. In calendar year
[1:57:53]
2024. Our Adult Protective
[1:57:56]
services, or aps staff,
[1:58:00]
received 7784 elder and
[1:58:03]
dependent adult abuse reports.
[1:58:04]
And I should note that we
[1:58:04]
receive. That
[1:58:05]
s a small
[1:58:07]
percentage of abuse that
[1:58:09]
actually happens. Of those
[1:58:13]
reports, 6030 were assigned for
[1:58:15]
investigation. Abuse can be
[1:58:17]
physical, financial, emotional
[1:58:20]
or psychological. It can be due
[1:58:23]
to neglect by a caregiver and
[1:58:25]
abandonment or isolation from
[1:58:28]
friends or care. Apps like
[1:58:31]
Child Protective Services for
[1:58:33]
children assesses and
[1:58:35]
investigates reports of
[1:58:36]
suspected older and dependent
[1:58:39]
adult abuse. However, one major
[1:58:41]
difference is that as adults,
[1:58:44]
aps clients have the right to
[1:58:46]
refuse services unless a court
[1:58:48]
determines they lack the
[1:58:50]
capacity to make decisions.
[1:58:51]
Financial abuse is one of the
[1:58:53]
most insidious forms of elder
[1:58:54]
abuse, and it
[1:58:55]
s a growing
[1:58:57]
concern. Perpetrators, whether
[1:58:59]
family members, caregivers,
[1:59:01]
acquaintances or strangers,
[1:59:03]
often target older adults they
[1:59:06]
perceive as vulnerable and MAY
[1:59:08]
exploit them for personal gain.
[1:59:09]
We have a short video in which
[1:59:11]
our social worker, Suzanne
[1:59:13]
Perry, who is here today,
[1:59:18]
explains how this can happen.
[1:59:20]
That sounds good. And just to
[1:59:20]
confirm, we
[1:59:21]
reoing to talk
[1:59:22]
about the assisted living
[1:59:24]
waiver. And then you and your
[1:59:25]
brothers can talk about how you
[1:59:26]
would like to move forward with
[1:59:29]
mom. Of the cases that I
[1:59:31]
currently have, at least half
[1:59:33]
of them have some sort of
[1:59:35]
financial fraud involvement.
[1:59:38]
You know, loneliness, um,
[1:59:39]
isolation is a really big
[1:59:41]
concern with our seniors. And
[1:59:42]
so they
[1:59:44]
re online looking for
[1:59:47]
for companionship. How to
[1:59:49]
report on a woman who was
[1:59:51]
losing her housing. She had
[1:59:53]
disclosed that she sold her
[1:59:58]
home and had befriended a man
[2:00:01]
online who came to her door,
[2:00:03]
where she handed over the money
[2:00:05]
to him. She said, oh, we were
[2:00:06]
going to buy it. He said. We
[2:00:06]
were going to buy a home
[2:00:08]
together and to meet him in
[2:00:10]
lax, and that he find me and
[2:00:10]
we
[2:00:12]
d go house hunting. And she
[2:00:14]
said he never showed up like,
[2:00:16]
this is just going to continue
[2:00:19]
to get worse. I only see it
[2:00:26]
growing. Unfortunately. Um, I
[2:00:28]
think, Suzanne, for
[2:00:29]
participation in that video.
[2:00:29]
She
[2:00:30]
s very shy, so didn
[2:00:30]
t want
[2:00:32]
to speak today. But we thank
[2:00:33]
you for your good work. I
[2:00:35]
like to now turn it over to
[2:00:37]
Marcy Hara, our aps division
[2:00:38]
manager. I
[2:00:38]
ve asked her to
[2:00:41]
share some prevention tips.
[2:00:42]
Thank you. Good morning.
[2:00:44]
Supervisors. Preventing
[2:00:45]
financial elder abuse requires
[2:00:47]
a proactive approach.
[2:00:48]
Strategies include monitoring,
[2:00:50]
credit reports, simplifying
[2:00:52]
finances, strengthening social
[2:00:53]
connections, and assigning
[2:00:55]
money management tasks to
[2:00:57]
trusted individuals. Regular
[2:00:59]
review of accounts is
[2:00:59]
important. It
[2:01:00]
s important to
[2:01:01]
check in with the older adults
[2:01:03]
in your life. Family members,
[2:01:05]
friends, neighbors, and be a
[2:01:07]
trusted presence for them. Look
[2:01:08]
out for sudden changes in
[2:01:10]
spending or banking unpaid
[2:01:12]
bills, missing possessions, or
[2:01:14]
a new friend or caregiver who
[2:01:15]
seems overly controlling or
[2:01:18]
secretive. Remind them not to
[2:01:19]
share personal or financial
[2:01:21]
information over the phone or
[2:01:22]
online, unless they are sure of
[2:01:25]
their recipient. It is okay to
[2:01:28]
say no, hang up or ask for help
[2:01:30]
before making financial
[2:01:32]
decisions. Offering support to
[2:01:33]
caregivers is also key in
[2:01:35]
helping reduce stress and
[2:01:36]
burnout. Anyone who is
[2:01:38]
concerned about older or
[2:01:40]
dependent adult suspects and
[2:01:42]
suspects any type of elder
[2:01:44]
abuse. Please call our aps
[2:01:52]
hotline at 925299843 4 or 800
[2:01:54]
510 2020 the reporting party
[2:01:56]
name always remains
[2:01:58]
confidential. Thank you. This
[2:02:01]
concludes our presentation.
[2:02:03]
Thank you very much. Any
[2:02:05]
comments by any of my
[2:02:05]
colleagues? Go ahead Ken,
[2:02:07]
please. I
[2:02:08]
ll just share my
[2:02:10]
gratitude for the work that you
[2:02:12]
all do. You know, I think back
[2:02:14]
on 30 years in law enforcement
[2:02:16]
and you see a lot and some of
[2:02:18]
that can be traumatizing. But I
[2:02:20]
think the one that I left 30
[2:02:22]
years with that upset me and
[2:02:25]
really scarred me the most was
[2:02:28]
a dependent elder case where
[2:02:30]
they were coerced into moving
[2:02:32]
out of their home and then kept
[2:02:33]
isolated from everyone they
[2:02:35]
knew, while everything they
[2:02:37]
owned and financial, everything
[2:02:39]
they had was slowly drained
[2:02:42]
away. Um, but that
[2:02:42]
s the one
[2:02:44]
case that always left a mark.
[2:02:45]
And not only because of the
[2:02:47]
crime that was occurring, but
[2:02:48]
as one of our seniors, one of
[2:02:50]
our our folks that we should be
[2:02:51]
taking care of. And so I
[2:02:52]
m just
[2:02:53]
so grateful because I don
[2:02:55]
know how you get through each
[2:02:56]
and every day, whether it
[2:02:57]
physical or financial. It
[2:02:59]
just traumatizing to see that
[2:03:01]
someone would preyn our
[2:03:04]
seniors. So thank you again.
[2:03:05]
Any other comments? Diane,
[2:03:07]
please. Thank you for what you
[2:03:09]
do. I there
[2:03:12]
s so much, um,
[2:03:15]
shame that comes with being
[2:03:15]
victimized when you
[2:03:16]
re an
[2:03:17]
adult. You know, there
[2:03:17]
s just
[2:03:19]
this, you know, you don
[2:03:19]
t want
[2:03:22]
to admit it to anybody. And so
[2:03:24]
getting the word out for the
[2:03:26]
prevention is super important.
[2:03:30]
And then also giving people an
[2:03:31]
understanding that there
[2:03:33]
nothing to be ashamed of but to
[2:03:34]
speak up as soon as possible if
[2:03:37]
something weird is going on.
[2:03:39]
And so I appreciate you raising
[2:03:41]
this up. And I think all of our
[2:03:43]
offices are interested in
[2:03:44]
helping us get that message
[2:03:46]
out. So thank you for what you
[2:03:48]
do. And I will just add to,
[2:03:50]
again, my deep appreciation for
[2:03:53]
the work being done, our family
[2:03:54]
justice centers throughout
[2:03:56]
Contra Costa County also
[2:03:57]
address Adult Protective
[2:03:58]
Services, and I would love to
[2:04:01]
get the message out to our
[2:04:03]
older adults that if they
[2:04:04]
re
[2:04:05]
confused, if something doesn
[2:04:05]
look right, but they
[2:04:06]
re
[2:04:07]
embarrassed to talk to their
[2:04:10]
children about it, or realize
[2:04:10]
that they might have been
[2:04:12]
scammed. A family justice
[2:04:13]
center is a really good place
[2:04:16]
where they can go and not have
[2:04:18]
anyone judging them or say, why
[2:04:19]
did you do that? You know what?
[2:04:22]
Why are you so stupid? Or
[2:04:23]
whatever else someone might?
[2:04:25]
The reaction of a loved one
[2:04:25]
might be because they
[2:04:26]
re being
[2:04:28]
harmed. I think we have that
[2:04:30]
resource, but certainly, um, to
[2:04:31]
the work we
[2:04:32]
re doing in the
[2:04:35]
county and, um, and I guess the
[2:04:37]
question too, and obviously we
[2:04:41]
know to call 911, um, 211 the
[2:04:43]
crisis center will also put
[2:04:44]
people in contact. Are there
[2:04:46]
any other numbers that we
[2:04:48]
should be aware of for our
[2:04:49]
older adults that they can
[2:04:51]
reach you directly? Uh, yes.
[2:04:56]
One 805 ten 2020. That is our
[2:04:58]
call center, our integrated
[2:05:00]
call center, where our trained
[2:05:02]
social workers can, uh, start
[2:05:05]
up an elder abuse report. They
[2:05:07]
can start up an ihs
[2:05:07]
application, or they can
[2:05:09]
provide basic information about
[2:05:12]
senior services. Wonderful. And
[2:05:12]
we
[2:05:13]
d love to get that
[2:05:14]
information out. And feel free,
[2:05:15]
Tracy, to send that to all of
[2:05:17]
our offices with a little
[2:05:19]
blurb. Just again, we want to
[2:05:21]
make it as easy for anyone who
[2:05:24]
MAY be perceiving themselves as
[2:05:25]
a victim or a loved one as a
[2:05:27]
victim, to get the assistance
[2:05:28]
they need. And now we
[2:05:29]
d love to
[2:05:30]
come down and take a picture.
[2:05:31]
Oh, did you have a I
[2:05:33]
m so sorry.
[2:05:33]
Let
[2:05:36]
s push the button here. I.
[2:05:38]
m following the rules this
[2:05:41]
time. Candace. Um, so I just
[2:05:43]
want to thank all of you. I
[2:05:43]
know we
[2:05:44]
ve had a multi
[2:05:45]
departmental effort on this
[2:05:47]
from Plymouth Human Services
[2:05:48]
and Health and District
[2:05:49]
attorney and working with
[2:05:50]
community based organizations.
[2:05:51]
I think we
[2:05:52]
ve all had friends
[2:05:54]
and relatives. I know I have,
[2:05:55]
uh, who are seniors who
[2:05:56]
ve been
[2:05:58]
scammed. And it is more common
[2:06:00]
than we think, even among
[2:06:01]
people who you would think not
[2:06:05]
be a potential victims of this.
[2:06:06]
And so and as you said, this is
[2:06:07]
the largest growing segment of
[2:06:09]
our population. And we
[2:06:09]
re going
[2:06:11]
to continue to need to do more.
[2:06:14]
Um, uh, even more, uh, public
[2:06:15]
education. I just wanted to
[2:06:19]
thank you all for your effort.
[2:06:22]
Okay. Any other comments? Now
[2:06:23]
we are going to head down and
[2:06:24]
take a picture with you
[2:06:37]
honoring your great work. Thank.
[2:07:03]
So we can scoot in and kind of
[2:07:13]
push back a little bit. On the
[2:07:22]
back. Just if we can scoot in.
[2:07:27]
That sounds. Good. Thank you.
[2:07:41]
One. I see what happened
[2:08:09]
tonight. So. It
[2:08:10]
s a knee capper
[2:08:14]
because. What that. Oh yeah.
[2:08:25]
Got it. John. Yeah. He
[2:08:26]
s just
[2:08:30]
talking to folks. Okay, well,
[2:08:32]
John comes up to the dais.
[2:08:32]
We
[2:08:34]
re going to move on to our
[2:08:35]
discussion items for today. And
[2:08:37]
our first one is to consider
[2:08:39]
waiving the 180 day period for
[2:08:41]
Terry Leder, director of
[2:08:43]
provider relations and
[2:08:44]
credentialing in our Health
[2:08:46]
Services department. And we
[2:08:47]
would need to make a
[2:08:48]
determination that MISS Leader
[2:08:49]
is necessary to fill a
[2:08:51]
critically needed position in
[2:08:52]
our Health Services department
[2:08:54]
and then potentially approve
[2:08:56]
and authorize her hiring. So,
[2:08:57]
doctor, welcome. We
[2:08:58]
re so glad
[2:09:01]
you can be here. Mike, your mic
[2:09:02]
is not on. Let
[2:09:02]
s try. How
[2:09:05]
this? Thank you. Good morning,
[2:09:06]
Chair Anderson and the rest of
[2:09:07]
the Board of Supervisors. My
[2:09:08]
name is Irene Lowe, and I
[2:09:10]
serving as the interim ceo at
[2:09:12]
Contra Costa Health Plan. I
[2:09:14]
here this morning to recommend
[2:09:15]
that Terry Leader, a recent
[2:09:17]
retiree from Contra Costa
[2:09:18]
Health Plan, be brought back on
[2:09:19]
a part time basis to assist
[2:09:21]
with the developmental and
[2:09:23]
operational readiness of our
[2:09:24]
provider relations,
[2:09:26]
credentialing and contracting
[2:09:28]
department, particularly in
[2:09:29]
preparation for the launch of
[2:09:31]
our Medicare Medi-Cal Dual
[2:09:33]
Special Needs Plan in JANUARY
[2:09:35]
of 2026. Terry had previously
[2:09:37]
served as our director of that
[2:09:38]
department and had been
[2:09:40]
extremely instrumental in
[2:09:41]
maintaining strong
[2:09:42]
relationships with our
[2:09:43]
providers, overseeing
[2:09:44]
credentialing and
[2:09:45]
credentialing, and also helping
[2:09:47]
to lead administration of
[2:09:49]
contracts. Given Terry
[2:09:49]
s deep
[2:09:50]
knowledge of this department
[2:09:52]
operations, her direct
[2:09:54]
experience and regulatory
[2:09:55]
compliance, and her prior
[2:09:56]
involvement in early dual
[2:09:58]
special needs plan planning,
[2:10:00]
her return to support the team
[2:10:01]
would provide valuable
[2:10:03]
opportunity, continuity,
[2:10:04]
insight and guidance.
[2:10:06]
Therefore, it is recommended
[2:10:07]
that Terry Leader be permitted
[2:10:10]
to return to ksp on a part time
[2:10:12]
basis as a Health Services
[2:10:15]
administrator. See.. Hey, any
[2:10:18]
questions? Okay. And again,
[2:10:19]
this is for anyone who
[2:10:22]
curious. This is part of, um,
[2:10:24]
pension requirements that we
[2:10:24]
don
[2:10:26]
t bring retirees back in
[2:10:26]
while they
[2:10:27]
re receiving their
[2:10:28]
pension other than for these
[2:10:30]
limited periods of time to fill
[2:10:33]
a special need. So we do have a
[2:10:35]
motion. Do I have a second?
[2:10:37]
Okay. We have a motion and a
[2:10:39]
second. And we will register
[2:10:40]
our. MADAM Chair, you want to
[2:10:41]
call for public comment? Public
[2:10:43]
comment. Thank you Tom okay.
[2:10:44]
Because we don
[2:10:44]
t do public
[2:10:45]
comment and presentations. We
[2:10:47]
do want public comment on this.
[2:10:49]
Do we have any public comment.
[2:10:51]
If there are any callers or
[2:10:52]

[2:10:56]

[2:10:58]

[2:11:19]
There are no comments. Okay.
[2:11:35]
And we will now vote. I
[2:11:36]
waiting for it to register.
[2:11:39]
There we go. It passed five
[2:11:40]
zero. Okay. We are. Thank you
[2:11:42]
so much, doctor. Well, and we
[2:11:44]
are going to move on to a
[2:11:46]
hearing to consider the fiscal
[2:11:48]
year 2526 tentative report on
[2:11:51]
Community Services area m one
[2:11:53]
emergency Medical District and
[2:11:54]
enhance countywide emergency
[2:11:56]
medical service system. And so
[2:11:58]
we do have Marshall Bennett,
[2:12:00]
our emergency medical services
[2:12:02]
director. Marshal, the floor is
[2:12:04]
yours. Good morning, MADAM
[2:12:07]
Chair. And members of the board.
[2:12:09]
Uh, before you as a board
[2:12:11]
order, along with resolution
[2:12:14]
number 2025, dash 191, in which
[2:12:16]
the board confirms the fiscal
[2:12:18]
year 2526 tentative report for
[2:12:23]
County Service Area m one.
[2:12:24]
Revenues from County Service
[2:12:25]
Area m one. Assessments are
[2:12:27]
used to provide an enhanced
[2:12:29]
countywide ems system as
[2:12:32]
approved by voters with the
[2:12:33]
passage of measure h in
[2:12:37]
NOVEMBER of 1988, enhanced ems
[2:12:40]
services include pre-hospital
[2:12:41]
advanced life support, support
[2:12:43]
for firefighter ems first
[2:12:46]
responder programs, technology
[2:12:48]
and miscellaneous ems
[2:12:49]
enhancements known to improve
[2:12:53]
patient outcomes. The basic
[2:12:56]
assessment rates proposed are
[2:12:58]
$3.94 per single family,
[2:13:00]
residents or benefit unit for
[2:13:01]
zone a, which is San Ramon
[2:13:04]
Valley and $10 per single
[2:13:05]
family residence or benefit
[2:13:07]
unit for zone b, which
[2:13:08]
represents the balance of the
[2:13:12]
county. The lower rate for zone
[2:13:14]
a reflects the level of ems
[2:13:15]
enhancement funding approved by
[2:13:16]
the voters and governing boards
[2:13:18]
of the San Ramon Fire District
[2:13:21]
and City of San Ramon. In 1988,
[2:13:23]
all proposed fiscal year. Speak
[2:13:24]
into your microphone a little
[2:13:25]
bit closer. Okay, I apologize.
[2:13:26]
No, that
[2:13:28]
s okay. All proposed
[2:13:32]
fiscal year 20 2526. Rates are
[2:13:33]
unchanged from the previous
[2:13:36]
year. After confirmation of the
[2:13:37]
tentative report, a final
[2:13:39]
report will be prepared in
[2:13:40]
conformance with the official
[2:13:42]
assessment role for fiscal year
[2:13:45]
20 2526. The final report will
[2:13:46]
then be presented to the Board
[2:13:48]
of Supervisors for
[2:13:49]
confirmation, and that
[2:13:50]
confirmation will constitute
[2:13:53]
the levy of the assessment. We
[2:13:54]
ask that the board open the
[2:13:57]
public hearing, receive and
[2:13:58]
consider all public comments on
[2:14:01]
the fiscal year 20 2526,
[2:14:03]
tentative report. Close the
[2:14:05]
public hearing and adopt the
[2:14:06]
assessment set forth in the
[2:14:08]
tentative report, along with
[2:14:11]
resolution number 2025. Dash
[2:14:12]
191, confirming the tentative
[2:14:15]
report and assessment set forth
[2:14:18]
therein. Thank you. Okay, any
[2:14:20]
questions for Marshall about
[2:14:20]
what he
[2:14:24]
s presented? Nobody has
[2:14:25]
any questions for you. Let
[2:14:27]
see if we have any public
[2:14:29]
comment. If there are any
[2:14:31]
callers or zoom participants
[2:14:32]

a public hearing, so I
[2:15:15]
apologize. The public hearing
[2:15:16]
is open if that changes
[2:15:16]
anyone
[2:15:18]
s desire to speak. Now
[2:15:20]
go ahead. Um, we still have not
[2:15:21]
had any speakers. I
[2:15:22]
m going to
[2:15:23]
close the public hearing as
[2:15:27]
well. So now we have a motion.
[2:15:38]
Everyone vote. And it passes
[2:15:40]
unanimously. Thank you so much.
[2:15:40]
Let
[2:15:42]
s move on to item d three.
[2:15:44]
This is for us to consider
[2:15:46]
approving and authorizing our
[2:15:48]
clerk recorder a limited and
[2:15:49]
one time waiver of the county
[2:15:51]
travel policy to allow for in
[2:15:54]
county lodging in the amount of
[2:15:55]
7094 for 13 managers,
[2:15:57]
supervisors, senior leaders
[2:15:58]
attending an annual conference
[2:16:00]
of the California Association
[2:16:01]
of Clerks and Election
[2:16:02]
Officials that is being hosted
[2:16:03]
by the Clerk Recorder at the
[2:16:05]
San Ramon Marriott, and then
[2:16:08]
also for registration and bus
[2:16:10]
transportation fees of 4348 to
[2:16:11]
allow 33 other staff and
[2:16:13]
supervisors to attend the
[2:16:14]
conference. So, Kristen,
[2:16:15]
welcome Kristen Connolly, our
[2:16:17]
clerk reporter. Thank you for
[2:16:19]
being here and bringing this
[2:16:20]
item forward. Good morning,
[2:16:22]
Chair Anderson and supervisors.
[2:16:25]
Um, I am happy to be before you
[2:16:26]
today. I am your elected clerk,
[2:16:28]
recorder and registrar of
[2:16:30]
voters, and I just wanted to
[2:16:32]
acknowledge, um, how fortunate
[2:16:34]
we are to have such an engaged
[2:16:36]
and supportive Board of
[2:16:38]
Supervisors for the work in our
[2:16:39]
office and in the community.
[2:16:41]
m really moved by those last,
[2:16:44]
uh, the presentation on pride.
[2:16:47]
Um, when we lifted our flag
[2:16:48]
this week in honor of pride at
[2:16:50]
our building, it was with quite
[2:16:52]
a heavy heart, as we are still
[2:16:54]
at half staff because of the
[2:16:56]
loss of your former colleague
[2:16:58]
and our friend, Supervisor
[2:17:01]
Glover. Um, so let me begin.
[2:17:03]
From the time I assumed office
[2:17:05]
two and a half years ago, as
[2:17:07]
the Contra Costa County Clerk,
[2:17:08]
recorder and Registrar of
[2:17:11]
Voters, I loudly have sung the
[2:17:12]
praises of our talented and in
[2:17:15]
many cases, long tenured staff
[2:17:16]
that are the heart of our
[2:17:19]
success as a respected,
[2:17:22]
efficient and award winning
[2:17:23]
department. As a department, we
[2:17:25]
long have valued technological
[2:17:26]
innovation and professional
[2:17:27]
development, which I have
[2:17:29]
continued to prioritize during
[2:17:31]
my first term in office when
[2:17:33]
our statewide association, the
[2:17:34]
California Association of
[2:17:37]
Clerks and Elections Officials,
[2:17:38]
needed a replacement host in
[2:17:40]
Northern California for its
[2:17:42]
2025 annual conference, I
[2:17:44]
enthusiastically volunteered
[2:17:45]
because of the economic
[2:17:46]
development of bringing our
[2:17:47]
counterparts from around the
[2:17:50]
state to Contra Costa. While
[2:17:51]
budget constraints limit
[2:17:53]
attendance each year at this
[2:17:54]
conference, we regularly send a
[2:17:56]
couple of managers and
[2:17:57]
supervisors from both the clerk
[2:17:58]
recorder and elections
[2:17:59]
divisions, and it
[2:18:00]
s an
[2:18:01]
invaluable learning opportunity
[2:18:03]
for those in attendance. El
[2:18:04]
Dorado and Orange counties
[2:18:06]
hosted this conference in 2023
[2:18:09]
and 24, respectively. The
[2:18:10]
association relies on the host
[2:18:11]
county to work with its site
[2:18:13]
selection committee and its
[2:18:14]
event planner to get a suitable
[2:18:16]
site selected. Both the site
[2:18:17]
selection committee and event
[2:18:19]
planner toured all three
[2:18:20]
potential sites and Contra
[2:18:22]
Costa in APRIL of last year,
[2:18:24]
and ultimately they selected
[2:18:26]
the San Ramon Marriott, the
[2:18:27]
host county plans the agenda
[2:18:28]
for the annual conference. I
[2:18:31]
so grateful to the group of
[2:18:32]
enthusiastic staff serving on
[2:18:34]
our planning committee that
[2:18:35]
have worked diligently for
[2:18:37]
months to plan for the upcoming
[2:18:38]
conference. I look forward to
[2:18:40]
maximizing the professional
[2:18:41]
development and learning
[2:18:41]
opportunities for the staff,
[2:18:43]
which is being funded by
[2:18:45]
private grant dollars. I first
[2:18:46]
planned a statewide conference
[2:18:48]
34 years ago and have high
[2:18:50]
expectations for our staff as
[2:18:52]
the host county, those from our
[2:18:53]
staff in attendance will be the
[2:18:55]
first to arrive in the last to
[2:18:56]
leave. To help make this the
[2:18:58]
best experience for all
[2:18:59]
attendees before you. Today is
[2:19:01]
a non precedent setting,
[2:19:03]
limited request unsupported by
[2:19:05]
the ceo. That is only before
[2:19:07]
you because we are one hosting
[2:19:08]
the conference and to have
[2:19:10]
private grant dollars to fund
[2:19:12]
these requests. I will not be
[2:19:13]
volunteering to host any
[2:19:15]
conferences again in the
[2:19:16]
foreseeable future, nor will
[2:19:17]
these grant dollars be
[2:19:19]
available in future years. I do
[2:19:20]
not wish to bring items opposed
[2:19:23]
to the Cao before you ever
[2:19:24]
again. We seek permission to
[2:19:26]
have the supervisors and
[2:19:27]
managers in attendance that
[2:19:29]
have requested a hotel room be
[2:19:30]
allowed to stay overnight at
[2:19:32]
the hotel. The staff live in
[2:19:34]
Oakley, Brentwood, Antioch,
[2:19:35]
Pittsburgh, Vallejo and
[2:19:36]
Fairfield and will have
[2:19:38]
significantly longer commutes
[2:19:40]
for the duration of the
[2:19:41]
conference. For me, it
[2:19:41]
s an
[2:19:42]
equity issue. I
[2:19:43]
m not
[2:19:44]
requesting approval for a hotel
[2:19:46]
room for myself as my commute
[2:19:47]
and my electric vehicle to this
[2:19:48]
conference site will not pose a
[2:19:50]
burden on my time, I want this
[2:19:52]
limited waiver of the travel
[2:19:53]
policy so that select leaders
[2:19:55]
can stay over at the hotel for
[2:19:56]
the nights, requested to make
[2:19:58]
the most of the conference and
[2:20:00]
affiliated evening events. In
[2:20:02]
addition to the hotel rooms for
[2:20:03]
attendees. The second part of
[2:20:04]
the request is to allow us to
[2:20:06]
rent a bus so that 33
[2:20:08]
additional frontline staff and
[2:20:09]
supervisors can travel together
[2:20:11]
to attend. One day of the
[2:20:13]
conference on Wednesday, JULY
[2:20:15]
9th. Again, I appreciate the
[2:20:16]
support of the staff attending
[2:20:17]
the conference on this day, but
[2:20:19]
I am asking you to support our
[2:20:21]
request to travel on a bus
[2:20:23]
together, traveling together is
[2:20:24]
the most efficient and allows
[2:20:26]
for the group to get oriented
[2:20:28]
on the way to the event and to
[2:20:30]
debrief. At the end of the day,
[2:20:32]
writing together also furthers
[2:20:33]
my goal of fostering
[2:20:35]
collaboration across divisions.
[2:20:36]
So much of the staff
[2:20:38]
experience as employees is
[2:20:39]
beyond my control. I have
[2:20:40]
nothing to do with setting
[2:20:42]
their pay, which is why I care
[2:20:44]
so deeply about having the best
[2:20:45]
experience possible in terms of
[2:20:47]
training and staff development.
[2:20:48]
I ask for your yes vote on this
[2:20:51]
two part one time request,
[2:20:52]
which is 100% funded by private
[2:20:53]
grant funding, and I
[2:20:55]
available to answer any
[2:20:59]
questions. Okay, I
[2:21:00]
ve seen
[2:21:00]
this. I
[2:21:01]
ll wait till public
[2:21:02]
comment on my comment. Okay,
[2:21:04]
but do I have any questions by
[2:21:08]
board members? Yeah. Uh, just a
[2:21:09]
question to the county
[2:21:10]
administrator. Is there a way
[2:21:14]
of creating some policy that
[2:21:15]
separates a grant from other
[2:21:17]
county funding in these types
[2:21:25]
of situations? Sorry. So I try
[2:21:27]
to ask questions I know the
[2:21:28]
answer to, but I haven
[2:21:28]
t even
[2:21:29]
talked to you about. So. And
[2:21:30]
that
[2:21:30]
s okay. That
[2:21:31]
s okay.
[2:21:31]
That
[2:21:31]
s why we
[2:21:33]
re here. Um, we
[2:21:36]
could create a policy, but, um,
[2:21:36]
it
[2:21:39]
s still dollars that are
[2:21:41]
used for particular services.
[2:21:44]
As Kristen, our clerk recorder,
[2:21:47]
stated, um, and, you know, we
[2:21:49]
could look and see what
[2:21:49]
s out
[2:21:51]
there, but typically we are
[2:21:54]
travel policy the way we expend
[2:21:55]
dollars. Um, whether it
[2:21:56]
s grant
[2:21:57]
dollars or general fund dollars
[2:21:59]
or special revenue fund
[2:21:59]
dollars, we
[2:22:00]
ve treated them one
[2:22:04]
as the same. And so very much
[2:22:06]
m very willing to look and
[2:22:09]
see if anything exists. But
[2:22:10]
typically we have treated them
[2:22:13]
the same. And just piggybacking
[2:22:14]
on that, you and I, in our
[2:22:16]
discussions about trying to,
[2:22:18]
you know, strengthen our budget
[2:22:19]
and all of that, I
[2:22:20]
ve asked you
[2:22:23]
to look at ways to start to
[2:22:26]
shrink our travel, um, dollars
[2:22:28]
within the county. So just
[2:22:31]
appreciate your work on this.
[2:22:31]
Those are my comments for right
[2:22:34]
this minute. Okay. Supervisor
[2:22:35]
skills Preston, followed by
[2:22:37]
Supervisor Carlson. Are you
[2:22:39]
taking comments or questions?
[2:22:41]
These are questions. Okay, this
[2:22:42]
is not a question. That
[2:22:42]
s not a
[2:22:43]
question. That
[2:22:44]
s a common. Do
[2:22:46]
you have a question, Ken? Okay,
[2:22:48]
okay. When we come back, then
[2:22:48]
we
[2:22:49]
ll go with Schnell and Ken
[2:22:50]
and then John, you
[2:22:50]
ve got a
[2:22:51]
comment. Let
[2:22:52]
s go to public
[2:22:53]
comment. If anyone wishes to
[2:22:55]
speak on this item. If there
[2:22:58]
are any callers or zoom
[2:22:59]
participants who would like to
[2:23:01]
speak on a one time waiver of
[2:23:03]
the travel policy for the clerk
[2:23:05]
recorder, please press pound
[2:23:06]
two if you
[2:23:07]

[2:23:10]

[2:23:35]

[2:23:38]
go with you. Yes. Thank you.
[2:23:41]
Chair. Um, and just myself,
[2:23:43]
just being a former staff
[2:23:46]
person. Um, I just want to say
[2:23:48]
thank you, um, Kristen, for
[2:23:50]
thinking about staff and
[2:23:52]
thinking about their education.
[2:23:54]
Um, and just staff development,
[2:23:56]
but finding a way to do it at
[2:24:00]
the cost of a utilizing a grant
[2:24:03]
funds. Um, I just know back in
[2:24:06]
FEBRUARY when we had our, um,
[2:24:08]
our workshop in San Ramon at
[2:24:11]
City Hall, um, it probably took
[2:24:13]
me almost two hours to get
[2:24:14]
there in the same way, back
[2:24:16]
home to the city of Pittsburgh.
[2:24:18]
Um, so leaving at that time of
[2:24:19]
day to or morning to be there
[2:24:23]
at 8 A.M., it is a stretch, um,
[2:24:25]
to get there in the morning. So
[2:24:27]
having that in mind, just to
[2:24:30]
think of making sure that staff
[2:24:32]
comes, um, because sometimes if
[2:24:33]
you have to do a two hour
[2:24:33]
drive, it
[2:24:35]
s like, why do it?
[2:24:35]
Um, I
[2:24:37]
ll go to work here in
[2:24:38]
Martinez and work instead of
[2:24:42]
doing that. Right. Um, but, you
[2:24:45]
know, you was thought through
[2:24:46]
this and thoughtful enough to
[2:24:47]
think that I want to make sure
[2:24:49]
our staff can get there and get
[2:24:52]
this education and workshops
[2:24:55]
and be able to, um, you know,
[2:24:55]
that
[2:24:55]
s that
[2:24:56]
s huge for staff
[2:24:58]
development. I hear that a lot
[2:25:00]
that a lot of people who work
[2:25:01]
in different departments, they
[2:25:01]
don
[2:25:02]
t get the staff development
[2:25:05]
they need. So thanks for being
[2:25:08]
thoughtful with that. Um, also,
[2:25:10]
um, in terms of just getting,
[2:25:12]
um, as they were looking for
[2:25:14]
sites to host the conference
[2:25:14]
and as we
[2:25:15]
re trying to bring
[2:25:17]
more to Contra Costa County and
[2:25:19]
get people to spend in Contra
[2:25:21]
Costa County and create
[2:25:22]
economic development, what we
[2:25:24]
talk about, um, thanks for
[2:25:26]
putting our county up to say,
[2:25:28]
hey, come to Contra Costa
[2:25:30]
County, we host you, um, having
[2:25:31]
staff there in the morning to
[2:25:32]
make sure everything is ready
[2:25:35]
to go. Um, for when these
[2:25:36]
conferences start at 8 A.M.,
[2:25:38]
m assuming staff will have to
[2:25:39]
get there before that time, and
[2:25:40]
it would make it difficult for
[2:25:44]
some of them. So, um, for me, I
[2:25:46]
support this request. It makes
[2:25:48]
sense to me. Um, and, um, given
[2:25:49]
that it
[2:25:52]
s a grant as well. Um,
[2:25:54]
so thank you again for your
[2:25:55]
thoughtfulness. Thank you very
[2:25:56]
much. Thank you. Okay, Ken,
[2:25:58]
please go ahead. And then,
[2:26:01]
John. Thank you. Um,
[2:26:03]
highlights. Contra Costa County
[2:26:05]
helps us when it comes to our
[2:26:06]
talk of climate action,
[2:26:09]
sustainability goals.
[2:26:10]
Economically, it makes sense to
[2:26:11]
me. I mean this to me, this is
[2:26:13]
an easy one. What I would say
[2:26:15]
in response to Supervisor
[2:26:18]
Burgess is policy question. I
[2:26:20]
really think that, you know,
[2:26:20]
maybe there
[2:26:21]
s some boxes to
[2:26:22]
check in the sense of, you
[2:26:24]
know, environmentally, this is
[2:26:25]
good for our staff, this is
[2:26:28]
good for our marketing, this is
[2:26:29]
good, you know, so taking on a
[2:26:30]
case by case basis, this it
[2:26:31]
doesn
[2:26:32]
t come to us that often.
[2:26:33]
So I really think it
[2:26:34]
s just
[2:26:34]
let
[2:26:35]
s see it how it, how it
[2:26:36]
comes to us. But again I am in
[2:26:38]
full support in one supporting
[2:26:40]
your staff to highlighting
[2:26:41]
Contra Costa County and how
[2:26:43]
grand we are. And then to
[2:26:45]
thinking about, you know, the
[2:26:47]
economics and the climate
[2:26:48]
aspects of it and taking all
[2:26:50]
those roads off the car for one
[2:26:52]
bus is really a smart move. So
[2:26:54]
thank you. Okay, John, please
[2:26:57]
go ahead. Yeah. I really have
[2:26:58]
nothing more to add to what my
[2:26:59]
two colleagues just said. And,
[2:27:01]
and and Kristen, for the
[2:27:02]
reasons you laid out, you know,
[2:27:05]
the policy is a good one, but I
[2:27:07]
think we do make exceptions to
[2:27:10]
policies from time to time. Um,
[2:27:11]
especially in this situation
[2:27:12]
where we are hosting this
[2:27:14]
conference of county clerks and
[2:27:15]
election officials and all of
[2:27:18]
those, and how hard the staff
[2:27:20]
work and and being able to have
[2:27:23]
them build some. How do I say
[2:27:25]
this, some, some positive
[2:27:27]
experience and, and and and
[2:27:29]
spirit on all of this. So, um,
[2:27:32]
I support it as well. And
[2:27:34]
Diane. Yeah, I think, um, in
[2:27:35]
the future I
[2:27:36]
d like to see
[2:27:38]
something that allows, if
[2:27:39]
somebody gets a grant, maybe
[2:27:41]
that kind of helps it. My only
[2:27:43]
concern is that as a county,
[2:27:45]
with all these different
[2:27:47]
departments, we start to slide
[2:27:49]
with, you know, a policy in a
[2:27:51]
different way, that kind of
[2:27:53]
says, well, they were able to
[2:27:53]
do it. So that
[2:27:54]
s why I
[2:27:54]
m a
[2:27:55]
little bit concerned about
[2:27:58]
this, but I will qualify. I can
[2:27:59]
see that there
[2:28:00]
s support. So I
[2:28:02]
would say because it
[2:28:03]
s a grant,
[2:28:05]
um, I will support it as well.
[2:28:08]
But I would like to, uh, signal
[2:28:09]
to everyone that I
[2:28:10]
m actually
[2:28:15]
trying to, to, um, limit the
[2:28:16]
amount of travel that we
[2:28:17]
re
[2:28:19]
doing so that we can be more
[2:28:21]
efficient in the future. So
[2:28:24]
just putting that out, okay.
[2:28:24]
And and I
[2:28:26]
ve got to, um, for
[2:28:28]
me, it was a little bit of a
[2:28:29]
different topic. I think what
[2:28:30]
was most distinguishable is
[2:28:32]
that you were hosting the
[2:28:32]
conference, and it
[2:28:34]
s not just
[2:28:35]
attending. Um, as I shared with
[2:28:36]
Kristen, you know, my chief of
[2:28:38]
staff, every day, almost every
[2:28:40]
day drives in from Brentwood
[2:28:42]
and faces that commute. And we,
[2:28:43]
you know, we just try to time
[2:28:44]
it. And so it
[2:28:45]
s, you know, in a
[2:28:47]
perfect world, when a
[2:28:48]
conference is within the
[2:28:49]
county, yeah, you don
[2:28:50]
t need to
[2:28:51]
have people stay there. They
[2:28:52]
just adjust their times. They
[2:28:53]
leave a little bit earlier, you
[2:28:54]
know, they leave at seven in
[2:28:55]
the morning. They won
[2:28:55]
t get the
[2:28:57]
two hours that Chanel did.
[2:28:58]
Nevertheless, I think the fact
[2:28:58]
that you
[2:29:00]
re hosting it is
[2:29:01]
distinguishable. And the fact
[2:29:04]
that you did get grant money is
[2:29:05]
also something that goes in
[2:29:07]
favor of that, and you
[2:29:07]
ve got
[2:29:10]
the support. So, um, we will
[2:29:12]
move forward. But we do want
[2:29:14]
to, I think, if nothing else,
[2:29:15]
should another department be
[2:29:17]
hosting a conference? It
[2:29:18]
probably we have to look at it
[2:29:20]
from a case by case as to the
[2:29:21]
funding source, the amount, the
[2:29:21]
amount you
[2:29:22]
re requesting is
[2:29:24]
really not that much in the
[2:29:26]
scheme of things. Um, and then
[2:29:27]
again, you
[2:29:28]
ve identified
[2:29:29]
responsibilities that do
[2:29:31]
require people to stay later
[2:29:33]
and, um, earlier. So with that,
[2:29:35]
I have a motion from Supervisor
[2:29:37]
Carlson. A second by Preston.
[2:29:46]
And so we will vote. And we
[2:29:49]
have a50. Thank you so much.
[2:29:51]
Thank you very much. Okay. We
[2:29:54]
are now going to move on to our
[2:29:56]
item d4. And we
[2:29:56]
re bringing up
[2:29:58]
Adam Wynn to come forward as
[2:30:01]
well to talk about next steps
[2:30:02]
for unallocated one time
[2:30:06]
measure x funds which is a very
[2:30:08]
very small amount in the scheme
[2:30:09]
of things. I mean, you know,
[2:30:11]
when you look at how much money
[2:30:15]
we have received so far out of
[2:30:16]
measure x, which to date is
[2:30:21]
about 470, almost $479 million.
[2:30:21]
Um, and today we
[2:30:23]
re going to be
[2:30:27]
talking about 1,000,471 million
[2:30:29]
one time dollars. It is a very,
[2:30:32]
very small amount. And one
[2:30:33]
thing that I would love us to
[2:30:36]
consider as a board to, and as
[2:30:37]
we talk about it is I
[2:30:38]
m I
[2:30:38]
ve
[2:30:41]
asked Adam to sort of give me a
[2:30:43]
ballpark figure of if we were
[2:30:45]
to set aside some funding to
[2:30:48]
hire a consultant to lead the
[2:30:50]
next needs assessment, and also
[2:30:53]
do an evaluation of how the
[2:30:54]
money is being spent, whether
[2:30:54]
it
[2:30:56]
s being done efficiently,
[2:30:57]
m going to have Adam talk a
[2:30:59]
little bit about that in his
[2:31:00]
presentation, because when
[2:31:01]
we
[2:31:03]
re talking $479 million,
[2:31:05]
while we do have the fiscal
[2:31:06]
oversight committee, we really
[2:31:10]
have not had um and again,
[2:31:11]
because the dollars are just
[2:31:12]
finally getting out there, we
[2:31:13]
really have not had an
[2:31:14]
evaluation of different
[2:31:17]
programs as well as had a
[2:31:19]
neutral professional, um, lead
[2:31:21]
helped lead the needs
[2:31:21]
assessment. So that
[2:31:22]
s something
[2:31:22]
that I
[2:31:23]
m going to ask Adam. I
[2:31:25]
think the figure he suggested
[2:31:27]
would be about 250,000, which
[2:31:29]
is a very, again, a small
[2:31:33]
amount of this, even 11.47 $1
[2:31:33]
million that we
[2:31:34]
re going to be
[2:31:35]
talking about today. So, Adam,
[2:31:37]
please go ahead. Thank you.
[2:31:39]
Adam. Wayne County finance
[2:31:40]
Director good morning,
[2:31:42]
supervisors. This item today is
[2:31:45]
discussed next steps regarding
[2:31:46]
$1.47 million in unallocated
[2:31:49]
measure x funds. Measure x is a
[2:31:51]
voter approved countywide half
[2:31:53]
cent sales tax that is
[2:31:57]
generated approximately 475 $79
[2:31:58]
million in revenue since
[2:32:01]
collections began in 2021. The
[2:32:03]
total measure x expenditures
[2:32:04]
allocated through this fiscal
[2:32:08]
year 2425 totals $508 million.
[2:32:11]
The current fiscal year is
[2:32:13]
projected at $120 million,
[2:32:15]
which represents a 1.1%
[2:32:19]
decrease. Um, on last year
[2:32:21]
actual revenues. And then for
[2:32:23]
fiscal year 2526, the county
[2:32:25]
sales tax consultants project
[2:32:26]
revenue to increase by
[2:32:31]
approximately 1.8% to $122.1
[2:32:33]
million. However, this latest
[2:32:36]
projection is over $400,000
[2:32:37]
short of what we actually
[2:32:41]
budgeted for next fiscal year.
[2:32:42]
At the recommended budget
[2:32:44]
hearings in APRIL 2829 and
[2:32:45]
budget adoption on MAY 20th,
[2:32:48]
the board approved a 1.97% cost
[2:32:50]
of living adjustment for
[2:32:52]
measure x allocations. Um,
[2:32:55]
allocating the total $2.34
[2:32:55]
million that we had at that
[2:32:57]
point that was unallocated.
[2:33:00]
Also allocated $100,000 from
[2:33:03]
the measure ex revenue surplus,
[2:33:06]
leaving a balance of $1.47
[2:33:08]
million as requested by the
[2:33:09]
Board of Supervisors. With
[2:33:10]
those meetings, today
[2:33:11]
discussion is to consider the
[2:33:13]
next steps and processes
[2:33:16]
related to the $1.47 million
[2:33:18]
available and then, Supervisor
[2:33:20]
Anderson, as you mentioned, um,
[2:33:22]
you requested some thinking
[2:33:25]
around if we were to have an
[2:33:27]
external consultant provide
[2:33:30]
services to conduct the needs
[2:33:31]
assessment, and that would
[2:33:33]
include things such as
[2:33:36]
developing surveys to conduct
[2:33:38]
town halls, and then to truly
[2:33:39]
engage the community, to go out
[2:33:42]
into each of the districts to
[2:33:44]
to post an online survey that
[2:33:47]
enabled or would enable anyone
[2:33:49]
within the county to then post
[2:33:50]
their comments about
[2:33:51]
recommendations for priority
[2:33:54]
funding areas needs. Uh, within
[2:33:56]
the county. And then also
[2:33:59]
related to that to do analysis
[2:34:02]
program evaluations to um, now
[2:34:02]
that we
[2:34:05]
ve had some years of
[2:34:06]
performance and implementation
[2:34:06]
and we
[2:34:08]
re gathering more data
[2:34:09]
to determine what the impacts
[2:34:11]
are related to those, uh, this
[2:34:14]
would also include analysis,
[2:34:16]
gathering information from the
[2:34:17]
departments, because many of
[2:34:19]
them do periodic needs
[2:34:20]
assessment and analyses
[2:34:22]
themselves, and incorporating
[2:34:24]
all of this into a package that
[2:34:25]
then would be presented to the
[2:34:27]
board that provides an
[2:34:29]
objective third party analysis
[2:34:30]
about what the needs are, what
[2:34:32]
the current state of the county
[2:34:35]
is, and then what the, um,
[2:34:37]
identified needs are from
[2:34:40]
departments as well. And of
[2:34:41]
course, we would involve the
[2:34:43]
Cab in that process as well,
[2:34:45]
where they would be
[2:34:46]
participating in in the town
[2:34:48]
halls, in helping gather some
[2:34:50]
of that information as well.
[2:34:52]
Absolutely. And so the request
[2:34:54]
would be for $250,000, roughly,
[2:34:57]
in order to provide those
[2:34:59]
services. Okay. Thank you.
[2:35:01]
Questions by board members.
[2:35:01]
Question. Yes. I
[2:35:03]
ll wait on my
[2:35:04]
comment comments about all this
[2:35:08]
after public comment. Um, what
[2:35:09]
you
[2:35:12]
re proposing, chair, is is
[2:35:15]
this, quote, third party to
[2:35:18]
both look at a needs assessment
[2:35:20]
and an evaluation. So I want to
[2:35:21]
ask some questions and separate
[2:35:24]
those two for a second. I know
[2:35:26]
we have appointed a measure x
[2:35:29]
Community Advisory Board to
[2:35:32]
make recommendations on needs.
[2:35:35]
Um, and it would appear to
[2:35:38]
Candace, you just said that the
[2:35:39]
cab would be involved. I
[2:35:39]
d want
[2:35:41]
to understand. And in my
[2:35:43]
comments I can say more the
[2:35:45]
what the role of the cab would
[2:35:47]
be, because the way this was
[2:35:48]
established is that the cab
[2:35:51]
would lead a needs assessment
[2:35:53]
effort. And if we have a third
[2:35:56]
party on board, I think we can
[2:35:58]
provide that direction. I mean,
[2:35:58]
I know Adam, you
[2:35:59]
re making some
[2:36:00]
comments, but ultimately it
[2:36:04]
up to theoard to provide the
[2:36:07]
how the process will work. I
[2:36:08]
agree. And and yeah, so that
[2:36:11]
one. And second, you know, I
[2:36:13]
always, um, hesitate when I
[2:36:16]
hear neutral professional third
[2:36:18]
party evaluation about how
[2:36:18]
we
[2:36:19]
ve spent $400 million
[2:36:21]
because there is no such thing
[2:36:22]
as, quote, a neutral
[2:36:24]
professional inserting
[2:36:26]
themselves into public values.
[2:36:29]
I mean, the 400 million that we
[2:36:30]
allocated over several years,
[2:36:32]
some of it went to open fire
[2:36:33]
stations, some went to
[2:36:36]
behavioral health, some went to
[2:36:38]
immigration, defense. How you
[2:36:40]
evaluate in a sense, we have we
[2:36:42]
have a process where every year
[2:36:45]
we hear from county departments
[2:36:47]
about how programs are working.
[2:36:49]
And so I guess maybe what I
[2:36:51]
want to understand is what
[2:36:52]
setting aside the assessment
[2:36:55]
for a second. How much do I
[2:36:58]
want to spend on a, quote,
[2:36:59]
professional? Who
[2:36:59]
s that? You
[2:37:00]
know, the public
[2:37:01]
s really the
[2:37:03]
professionals on this. And us
[2:37:05]
listening to the public. Um,
[2:37:07]
about evaluating the
[2:37:08]
effectiveness of whether this
[2:37:10]
fire station money was properly
[2:37:12]
spent or our 24 over seven
[2:37:15]
behavioral crisis hotline was
[2:37:16]
properly so. I guess I want to
[2:37:18]
understand more on that because
[2:37:21]
and I because I think I
[2:37:23]
m not
[2:37:26]
m more certain of, of of of
[2:37:27]
funding for an assessment, a
[2:37:29]
community needs assessment with
[2:37:30]
the, with the community
[2:37:30]
advisory board. But I
[2:37:31]
m not I
[2:37:33]
want to understand more this
[2:37:34]
proposal about evaluation
[2:37:36]
because we did set a process up
[2:37:40]
to have to hear directly from
[2:37:41]
departments. So what is it that
[2:37:44]
this process is intending to
[2:37:46]
add by some outside
[2:37:47]
professional who
[2:37:48]
s really not
[2:37:50]
familiar with public values in
[2:37:52]
Contra Costa County? Are you
[2:37:54]
done? Okay, the way I
[2:37:55]
ve seen
[2:37:57]
it, I looked at it in
[2:37:59]
discussing with Adam, this
[2:38:02]
individual would be helping us
[2:38:03]
gather that information from
[2:38:06]
the department heads. Um, from
[2:38:08]
the where the money has been
[2:38:09]
allocated, who is overseeing
[2:38:11]
the grant? Whatever data is
[2:38:13]
available, pulling it together,
[2:38:15]
the measure x cab does not have
[2:38:16]
staff that is dedicated to
[2:38:18]
doing that. And while the
[2:38:20]
measure x cab has different
[2:38:22]
ways they want to evaluate
[2:38:23]
data, I think it
[2:38:24]
s more
[2:38:25]
important that we have a
[2:38:29]
neutral person presenting or
[2:38:31]
neutral organization presenting
[2:38:33]
the information to us and to
[2:38:34]
the cab. And so it
[2:38:35]
s really not
[2:38:38]
them analyzing it, making a
[2:38:39]
judgment. So what are they
[2:38:41]
presenting? Maybe. So for
[2:38:41]
example, let
[2:38:43]
s say we made a
[2:38:45]
grant to dc for homeless
[2:38:46]
services. So they would be
[2:38:48]
working with with dc d saying
[2:38:50]
pull together the data. And
[2:38:52]
where has this money gone? How
[2:38:53]
many people have been housed.
[2:38:55]
What is what are the outcomes
[2:38:56]
essentially helping pull
[2:38:58]
together the outcomes from the
[2:38:59]
different grants that are out
[2:39:00]
there? They
[2:39:00]
re not making a
[2:39:02]
value judgment on it. They
[2:39:02]
re
[2:39:04]
not saying, this is, um, good
[2:39:05]
or bad. They
[2:39:06]
re just saying,
[2:39:08]
here is the data. Because my
[2:39:10]
concern is relying on a
[2:39:12]
volunteer advisory body to try
[2:39:14]
to bring that together isn
[2:39:15]
t as
[2:39:16]
helpful as really having it all
[2:39:18]
brought together to us. And
[2:39:20]
what I was saying to as I met
[2:39:21]
with a cab is saying where I
[2:39:24]
could see is maybe annually we
[2:39:25]
sit in a meeting with the cab
[2:39:27]
and we have a presentation of
[2:39:28]
of outcomes that have been
[2:39:30]
pulled together. So that
[2:39:30]
s kind
[2:39:31]
of the direction I
[2:39:32]
m going. I
[2:39:33]
know, I appreciate hearing
[2:39:35]
that. Can I ask? So my
[2:39:37]
understanding is the cab hasn
[2:39:40]
been the one that does the
[2:39:41]
evaluation. We
[2:39:42]
ve asked our
[2:39:45]
departments to do the
[2:39:46]
evaluation of how the money is
[2:39:49]
spent and reported to us. So
[2:39:51]
what is it that this outside
[2:39:53]
third party professional is
[2:39:57]
going to add to what our
[2:39:57]
departments? Because it
[2:39:58]
s not
[2:39:59]
you bring out a good point.
[2:40:00]
It
[2:40:01]
s not the Cab doesn
[2:40:01]
t have
[2:40:01]
staff. They
[2:40:02]
re volunteers, but
[2:40:02]
it
[2:40:04]
s our departments that are
[2:40:05]
presenting to us in this
[2:40:06]
meeting every year. Here
[2:40:06]
s the
[2:40:07]
money we spent, here
[2:40:08]
s what
[2:40:10]
unallocated. And and then we
[2:40:12]
have this discussion. So what
[2:40:13]
is it that these professionals
[2:40:15]
are going to add to the to the
[2:40:16]
department. So when Doctor
[2:40:17]
Civil comes with the health
[2:40:18]
department and says, hey,
[2:40:18]
here
[2:40:19]
s money we
[2:40:19]
re spending for
[2:40:21]
the hospital, the clinics, what
[2:40:23]
is this third party going to
[2:40:25]
add. What I see is it
[2:40:25]
s it
[2:40:25]
like you
[2:40:26]
re bringing a
[2:40:27]
consultant to bring all the
[2:40:28]
data together, presenting it in
[2:40:31]
a way that is understandable.
[2:40:32]
Um, sort of using. Similarity
[2:40:34]
of the departments presenting
[2:40:35]
it. Well, the departments can
[2:40:37]
be presenting it, but you
[2:40:37]
ve
[2:40:39]
got the the consultant is
[2:40:41]
bringing the data together into
[2:40:42]
one database where we
[2:40:42]
re not
[2:40:44]
looking at each department,
[2:40:46]
sort of presenting. Maybe it
[2:40:46]
ll
[2:40:47]
be a slightly different way.
[2:40:49]
And Adam was bringing up. I
[2:40:50]
going to turn to Adam for a
[2:40:51]
second, because he and I were
[2:40:52]
discussing how other counties
[2:40:54]
have utilized a consultant to
[2:40:56]
sort of bring things together
[2:40:59]
in this way. And so an external
[2:41:01]
consultant would come in and
[2:41:03]
help to augment the resources
[2:41:04]
that are available within
[2:41:05]
departments. It is true that
[2:41:06]
over the years, we have asked
[2:41:07]
departments to provide
[2:41:09]
performance measures related to
[2:41:14]
measure x, and honestly, that
[2:41:15]
could use some level of
[2:41:16]
strengthening and providing
[2:41:19]
additional support, uh, to
[2:41:20]
provide, um, professional
[2:41:22]
expertise. People that
[2:41:23]
specialize in program
[2:41:25]
evaluation to then look at the
[2:41:25]
data that
[2:41:27]
s available. Both.
[2:41:27]
That
[2:41:28]
s, for instance, the
[2:41:29]
census level to look at
[2:41:31]
population level statistics, to
[2:41:32]
take the activities of the
[2:41:34]
specific departments and to see
[2:41:36]
how those activities are
[2:41:38]
intended to provide value and
[2:41:40]
outcomes. Uh, to then pull that
[2:41:41]
together and to professionalize
[2:41:43]
it into a stronger report. It
[2:41:44]
something that we
[2:41:44]
ve been
[2:41:46]
trying to refine over the past
[2:41:47]
3 or 4 years. It
[2:41:48]
s not quite to
[2:41:50]
where we would like it to be.
[2:41:51]
And I think having an extra set
[2:41:53]
of hands from, from experts on
[2:41:54]
the outside would, would add
[2:41:56]
more analytical capacity, more
[2:41:58]
expertise, and also an
[2:41:59]
understanding of how it
[2:41:59]
s done
[2:42:01]
elsewhere and then provide the
[2:42:03]
reporting to demonstrate to the
[2:42:04]
public the value that
[2:42:04]
s been
[2:42:06]
provided by measure x for
[2:42:09]
particular, um, uh,
[2:42:11]
allocations.. And my other
[2:42:13]
concern is the cab
[2:42:15]
understandably wants um, this
[2:42:15]
results. And so when I was
[2:42:18]
meeting with Roxann yesterday,
[2:42:20]
she is creating, um, she wants
[2:42:22]
the cab to do the analysis, and
[2:42:24]
so she wants to adopt this
[2:42:26]
results based accountability
[2:42:27]
process where the Cabould be
[2:42:29]
evaluating the efficacy of the
[2:42:31]
programs. Um, from my
[2:42:32]
standpoint, because we need to
[2:42:34]
identify needs countywide. I
[2:42:38]
also prefer to have a, um, a, a
[2:42:40]
different not volunteers having
[2:42:41]
to do all this work, but having
[2:42:43]
a third party, being able to do
[2:42:45]
all this work. So that
[2:42:46]
s a
[2:42:48]
question from Ken. No, just
[2:42:50]
kind of to follow up and say,
[2:42:54]
you know, I look at $470
[2:42:54]
million and I
[2:42:57]
m thinking I can
[2:42:58]
remember the allocations we
[2:42:59]
made. That might have been the
[2:43:01]
cause I championed. Or, you
[2:43:02]
know, those types of things.
[2:43:03]
But to think about where we
[2:43:07]
have spread $470 million and
[2:43:09]
not really, and maybe I
[2:43:09]
m a
[2:43:11]
little naive, but we continue
[2:43:13]
to get asked for the same types
[2:43:16]
of initiatives, more money. And
[2:43:17]
so not that there isn
[2:43:18]
t, and
[2:43:19]
m not so naive that I don
[2:43:20]
know. The world is an ever
[2:43:22]
changing place and things are
[2:43:25]
happening moment by moment. But
[2:43:27]
are we having the impact we
[2:43:29]
want to have? Are we having the
[2:43:31]
successes we want to have? And
[2:43:31]
that
[2:43:32]
s a lot to put on our
[2:43:33]
individual departments. It
[2:43:35]
even a lot to put on our CBOs
[2:43:37]
to self evaluate. Um, but I
[2:43:39]
want to know that are we making
[2:43:40]
the right investments in the
[2:43:42]
right places? Are there other
[2:43:44]
places to go that we are having
[2:43:47]
a positive impact instead of
[2:43:48]
just either maintaining a
[2:43:50]
status status quo or not even
[2:43:52]
meeting the needs of our
[2:43:53]
community? And I think having
[2:43:55]
that performance evaluation is
[2:43:58]
how I would look at it. I still
[2:44:00]
support the measure x cab doing
[2:44:01]
the needs analysis. They
[2:44:02]
re out
[2:44:03]
in the community and they
[2:44:03]
re
[2:44:05]
seeing what the conversations
[2:44:06]
are among those with lived
[2:44:08]
experience and facing the
[2:44:10]
challenges. But I really want
[2:44:10]
to see that we
[2:44:11]
re investing
[2:44:12]
dollars where they
[2:44:12]
re getting
[2:44:13]
the most good. There
[2:44:14]
s always a
[2:44:14]
risk, there
[2:44:15]
s always a gamble.
[2:44:17]
But I want to see that we
[2:44:17]
re we
[2:44:19]
are doing that. And I think the
[2:44:21]
best way is to get that outside
[2:44:22]
evaluation. Well, and then I
[2:44:24]
would just also add to your
[2:44:26]
point, yes, the Cab absolutely
[2:44:28]
want them part of the needs
[2:44:29]
analysis. But we also want to
[2:44:29]
make sure there
[2:44:30]
s some stones
[2:44:32]
that are not unturned. And
[2:44:32]
that
[2:44:33]
s where if we bring
[2:44:36]
someone else in and we do wider
[2:44:38]
surveys, wider town halls, that
[2:44:41]
again, they did an amazing job
[2:44:42]
as a community advisory body
[2:44:45]
and spent so much time coming
[2:44:46]
up with it, I would allow I
[2:44:47]
would love to have that
[2:44:49]
additional support, allowing
[2:44:51]
the cab to be weighing in, but
[2:44:53]
also making sure we are getting
[2:44:56]
the input from each department
[2:44:57]
in a in a very neutral way that
[2:44:57]
we
[2:44:59]
re getting the input from
[2:45:00]
each of our communities in a
[2:45:01]
very neutral way, where again,
[2:45:03]
it will be a combined process.
[2:45:04]
But that
[2:45:04]
s why I think it would
[2:45:07]
be helpful to have someone help
[2:45:09]
lead that process well. And
[2:45:10]
ll just share, you know, one
[2:45:12]
of the items on the consent
[2:45:14]
calendar was a small
[2:45:16]
expenditure for a service
[2:45:18]
assessment impacting the lgbtq
[2:45:21]
plus community. And in
[2:45:22]
conversations about that, it
[2:45:24]
needs analysis and needs
[2:45:26]
assessment is extremely
[2:45:27]
daunting and challenging. And
[2:45:27]
that
[2:45:29]
s why we chose chose to go
[2:45:31]
with, um, a service assessment.
[2:45:31]
Who
[2:45:33]
s out there providing what
[2:45:34]
services. And that would show
[2:45:36]
us gaps in service as well as
[2:45:39]
as you do that on a higher
[2:45:40]
level, you are going to get
[2:45:41]
those needs analysis because
[2:45:41]
you
[2:45:42]
re going to talk to
[2:45:44]
constituents that are using the
[2:45:45]
services. So you will get
[2:45:47]
something of a needs analysis.
[2:45:48]
But it was really a, you know,
[2:45:50]
a sense of cost savings and
[2:45:53]
work because I want a quicker
[2:45:54]
turnaround than we might see if
[2:45:56]
it were longer needs us. Okay.
[2:45:58]
Thank you. Any other questions.
[2:45:58]
And I don
[2:45:59]
t want to usurp and
[2:46:00]
public comment. But please go
[2:46:07]
ahead. Diane. Adam. In um,
[2:46:08]
you
[2:46:09]
ve been with us through the
[2:46:11]
beginnings of measure x,
[2:46:12]
correct? Or did you come in a
[2:46:13]
little later? You came in a
[2:46:14]
little bit later. Okay. About a
[2:46:16]
year after implementation.
[2:46:18]
Okay. I just I think it
[2:46:18]
s good
[2:46:22]
to kind of have in context, the
[2:46:24]
amount of money we were having
[2:46:27]
to manage versus what it
[2:46:30]
turning into, because
[2:46:31]
proportionally, that number
[2:46:31]
that we
[2:46:34]
re working with is
[2:46:35]
changing. I mean, we
[2:46:35]
re right
[2:46:36]
now we
[2:46:37]
ve got like I think it
[2:46:39]
was a million and a half here.
[2:46:42]
So. I think it
[2:46:44]
s very important
[2:46:48]
that we can communicate to the
[2:46:51]
taxpayers how we are spending
[2:46:54]
the money. And I think the Cab,
[2:46:58]
which is an advisory board, can
[2:47:01]
help us communicate that to the
[2:47:03]
taxpayers so that if they want
[2:47:05]
to continue it down the road,
[2:47:05]
we
[2:47:07]
re going to be able to show
[2:47:09]
evidence that there has been
[2:47:11]
something accomplished with
[2:47:12]
that thing. So I think it
[2:47:12]
s a
[2:47:15]
good thing for us to work with
[2:47:18]
the advisory and have something
[2:47:21]
that we can show around, you
[2:47:24]
know, um, fromn outside
[2:47:25]
source so that it
[2:47:25]
s almost like
[2:47:30]
an audit kind of a thing. And,
[2:47:31]
um, I will say I
[2:47:33]
ve also, you
[2:47:34]
know, spoken with different
[2:47:36]
department heads that we don
[2:47:41]
limit measure x money to those
[2:47:44]
goals, to those, um, you know,
[2:47:48]
things that measure x advisory
[2:47:50]
has given us. So I don
[2:47:50]
t think
[2:47:50]
it
[2:47:52]
s even a bad idea that if
[2:47:54]
there was things that we were
[2:47:55]
doing that were accomplishing
[2:47:58]
some of those goals, not only
[2:48:00]
are we being responsible with
[2:48:01]
those particular tax dollars,
[2:48:02]
but we
[2:48:04]
re also embracing those
[2:48:06]
things. So I don
[2:48:07]
t know, Adam.
[2:48:11]
Um. Do you see that that value
[2:48:13]
in that? I guess I had to throw
[2:48:15]
a question in there because. I
[2:48:16]
might throw a question in
[2:48:19]
there. Yeah. No. I do see
[2:48:20]
value. I think it
[2:48:21]
s important
[2:48:23]
for us to to show what we
[2:48:24]
ve
[2:48:25]
accomplished, uh, and to show
[2:48:27]
that the funds are being used.
[2:48:30]
Well, that, that there, um,
[2:48:31]
economies essentially that are
[2:48:33]
being provided by making these
[2:48:35]
investments in these different
[2:48:37]
allocations and activities,
[2:48:38]
having that third party come in
[2:48:40]
acts exactly as that. It
[2:48:41]
s a
[2:48:43]
neutral party. Professionals
[2:48:45]
that provide their expert
[2:48:46]
opinion on matters and how
[2:48:46]
we
[2:48:47]
re doing, as opposed to a
[2:48:50]
department which I came from,
[2:48:51]
departments I did this work
[2:48:52]
internally with them. We took
[2:48:54]
it very seriously. We were very
[2:48:55]
rigorous where I came from. We
[2:48:56]
had a lot more capacity to do
[2:48:59]
so as well. Um, but there
[2:49:02]
also an incentive very often to
[2:49:04]
to characterize your work when
[2:49:04]
you
[2:49:06]
re within a department to
[2:49:07]
show that you are demonstrating
[2:49:10]
and providing that value. But
[2:49:12]
when you have an external party
[2:49:14]
doing that, then you have
[2:49:16]
greater assurance that those
[2:49:17]
rocks are being lifted up and
[2:49:18]
looked underneath that, that
[2:49:19]
you
[2:49:20]
re not trying to cherry
[2:49:22]
pick the data, that you are
[2:49:23]
genuinely providing the full
[2:49:25]
picture. And you can often only
[2:49:27]
get that from that third party,
[2:49:28]
even if the department is
[2:49:29]
acting in good faith and doing
[2:49:31]
that work themselves, it has
[2:49:32]
more credence when it comes
[2:49:34]
from that external auditor and
[2:49:35]
external evaluator. Can I ask
[2:49:36]
about that? I think there
[2:49:36]
s a
[2:49:38]
real difference between
[2:49:40]
collecting data and making an
[2:49:43]
opinion about about that.
[2:49:45]
Somebody with a Phd or a
[2:49:45]
master
[2:49:46]
s after their name from,
[2:49:48]
from whatever consulting
[2:49:48]
company doesn
[2:49:49]
t come in and
[2:49:52]
tell us how to spend our money.
[2:49:52]
And that
[2:49:53]
s I mean, I want to
[2:49:55]
what they do is they can
[2:49:58]
collect data and say, this is
[2:49:59]
how many people you
[2:50:00]
re serving.
[2:50:02]
But then crossing the line and
[2:50:04]
saying, well, this is not an
[2:50:05]
effect. They shouldn
[2:50:06]
t be
[2:50:06]
determining whether it
[2:50:07]
s an
[2:50:09]
effective use of our dollars.
[2:50:09]
That
[2:50:11]
s our decision with the
[2:50:13]
public, not their decision
[2:50:14]
going to graduate school or
[2:50:15]
getting an mba doesn
[2:50:16]
t qualify
[2:50:19]
them to tell us that, because
[2:50:20]
there are choices in all of
[2:50:22]
this. Even the even the
[2:50:24]
community assessment is a
[2:50:25]
choice, right? Because we
[2:50:26]
re
[2:50:29]
getting an assessment of needs.
[2:50:30]
And like I think there
[2:50:32]
limited resources and limited
[2:50:33]
dollars, and it
[2:50:34]
s the value
[2:50:36]
system of the board listening
[2:50:38]
to the public that determines
[2:50:40]
how to allocate the limited
[2:50:42]
resources to the full array of
[2:50:43]
needs that we have. So it
[2:50:44]
s not
[2:50:44]
like it
[2:50:46]
s a magic, quantifiable
[2:50:48]
saying, this is how it works by
[2:50:48]
computer. It
[2:50:50]
s giving us an
[2:50:52]
assessment. I want to be clear
[2:50:53]
this if we go down this road,
[2:50:54]
the guidance is we
[2:50:55]
re doing an
[2:50:57]
assessment that allows
[2:50:59]
ultimately the our various
[2:51:00]
values to decide how to spend
[2:51:02]
the limited resources, because
[2:51:02]
we
[2:51:03]
re not meeting all the needs
[2:51:05]
that are out there. Likewise,
[2:51:07]
the evaluation is this is the
[2:51:08]
data. I do think that
[2:51:09]
s good.
[2:51:11]
The data is good. I don
[2:51:11]
t think
[2:51:12]
they should be in the business
[2:51:15]
of saying this was an effective
[2:51:16]
investment. They can say you
[2:51:18]
served x number of people with
[2:51:20]
these dollars, and there MAY be
[2:51:23]
metrics which is different than
[2:51:24]
evaluate an evaluation. That
[2:51:26]
more subjective. Let
[2:51:27]
s let Adam
[2:51:29]
respond. If I MAY make this,
[2:51:30]
um, break this out into three
[2:51:32]
different components. So
[2:51:32]
there
[2:51:34]
s needs assessment.
[2:51:34]
There
[2:51:35]
s basically you have
[2:51:37]
wonky people like me with my
[2:51:40]
training going in, gathering as
[2:51:41]
much data as they can, doing
[2:51:43]
qualitative analysis, going out
[2:51:44]
and doing focus groups with
[2:51:46]
community members, talking with
[2:51:49]
communities, um, doing
[2:51:50]
research, looking at the
[2:51:52]
literature and what the best
[2:51:53]
practices have been identified
[2:51:55]
with in literature, where the
[2:51:57]
best investments are made,
[2:51:58]
collecting all of that
[2:51:59]
information from an analytical
[2:52:01]
point of view, and then
[2:52:04]
packaging that to provide to
[2:52:05]
policymakers, to decision
[2:52:08]
makers to assesshe value of
[2:52:09]
determine what the priority
[2:52:10]
should be. That
[2:52:11]
s the second
[2:52:12]
component. The decisions about
[2:52:14]
how to use the data. That, of
[2:52:15]
course, is the power that
[2:52:17]
invested within the board. This
[2:52:19]
would be simply providing you
[2:52:21]
with as much concrete,
[2:52:23]
objective information about the
[2:52:25]
breadth of community needs, or
[2:52:25]
even those that are focused on
[2:52:27]
by the board. The third
[2:52:29]
component is coming back after
[2:52:31]
those decisions have been made.
[2:52:31]
There
[2:52:32]
s been direction to
[2:52:34]
implement the various programs
[2:52:35]
and then doing that needs
[2:52:37]
assessment, that evaluation to
[2:52:38]
see what those outcomes have
[2:52:40]
been and to to determine if
[2:52:40]
you
[2:52:42]
ve had the intended impact
[2:52:44]
of those invested dollars. And
[2:52:45]
again, having that expertise
[2:52:48]
come in to do that analysis for
[2:52:50]
you from a third party ensures
[2:52:50]
that everyone
[2:52:52]
s being honest
[2:52:53]
and that you have a rigorous
[2:52:55]
analytical approach that builds
[2:52:57]
upon the capacity that
[2:52:57]
currently within the county. We
[2:52:59]
do not have. I come from other
[2:53:01]
areas where you had entire
[2:53:05]
divisions. You had people,
[2:53:06]
significant teams, both within
[2:53:07]
departments and also centrally,
[2:53:09]
that kept departments honest as
[2:53:11]
well as part of the
[2:53:12]
infrastructure. And that
[2:53:13]
infrastructure does not exist
[2:53:16]
within Contra Costa. Ken, you
[2:53:20]
wanted to comment. Yeah, just
[2:53:21]
thank you. That was well said.
[2:53:23]
And it was exactly what I
[2:53:25]
looking for is the data. It
[2:53:27]
really is just the hard factual
[2:53:29]
data where the money is going,
[2:53:29]
how it
[2:53:31]
s been implemented. And
[2:53:33]
again, some of it again is
[2:53:35]
challenging. But you know, I
[2:53:36]
really need to help us
[2:53:37]
formulate our decisions if
[2:53:37]
we
[2:53:38]
re going down the wrong path
[2:53:40]
on an expenditure and we need
[2:53:42]
to redirect. I just want to
[2:53:43]
have that data. And I think
[2:53:44]
having it from that outside
[2:53:47]
third party is really helpful.
[2:53:49]
And if I do have a question, if
[2:53:51]
I can deviate. Off, we
[2:53:51]
re
[2:53:52]
supposed to be in question. So
[2:53:54]
please conclude a question
[2:53:56]
form. Form your comments in the
[2:53:58]
form of a question. Refresh my
[2:54:00]
recollection in our budget
[2:54:04]
discussions. Um, what was what
[2:54:05]
was it we anticipated the Cola
[2:54:08]
to be for the year. I
[2:54:09]
m looking
[2:54:14]
at the 1.97 we got out of that
[2:54:15]
2.34 million, um, in ongoing
[2:54:17]
measure allocations. But the
[2:54:18]
reason I ask, I
[2:54:19]
m concerned
[2:54:20]
about the sustainability of
[2:54:21]
what we
[2:54:23]
ve already invested in
[2:54:25]
going forward. And so I want to
[2:54:27]
know what we budgeted and
[2:54:28]
really what the cola is in the
[2:54:29]
window of time. We
[2:54:29]
re looking
[2:54:33]
at. So originally when we had
[2:54:34]
the Board of Supervisors
[2:54:35]
retreat, the Cola at that time
[2:54:37]
that was being requested was
[2:54:39]
roughly about 3%. And that was
[2:54:40]
based on the latest projections
[2:54:42]
on anticipated measure
[2:54:44]
revenues. At that point, when
[2:54:47]
the recall was was not approved
[2:54:49]
and instead was reconsidered at
[2:54:51]
the budget hearings. At that
[2:54:52]
point, I had more information
[2:54:54]
about what the projected
[2:54:55]
revenues were going to be, and
[2:54:57]
they had gone down. And so we
[2:54:59]
revised the Colas accordingly.
[2:55:00]
And that
[2:55:01]
s what dropped it down
[2:55:04]
to the 1.97%. We
[2:55:05]
ve since
[2:55:07]
subsequently gotten revised
[2:55:08]
projections. And yet again, the
[2:55:10]
numbers for measure are going
[2:55:10]
down. So it
[2:55:12]
s a troubling trend
[2:55:14]
line. And to make it really
[2:55:16]
clear, even in these latest
[2:55:17]
projections, the sales tax
[2:55:19]
consultant made it clear that
[2:55:22]
this does not incorporate any
[2:55:26]
of the economic. Headwinds that
[2:55:28]
potentially were going into it
[2:55:29]
simply based on what they saw
[2:55:31]
in the data in front of them.
[2:55:34]
Um, what past activity has been
[2:55:35]
and what adjustments they knew
[2:55:37]
they had to make based on their
[2:55:38]
audits? It
[2:55:39]
s not taking
[2:55:40]
incorporate incorporating the
[2:55:42]
the tariffs or any other types
[2:55:44]
of challenges that are coming
[2:55:46]
along. Now if we compare then
[2:55:49]
that 1.97% to what we see as
[2:55:52]
cpi currently or other
[2:55:53]
indicators of inflation, those
[2:55:57]
are hovering roughly around 2
[2:55:59]
to 3%. And those are
[2:56:00]
anticipated. Um, there
[2:56:01]
there
[2:56:02]
s a fair number of
[2:56:04]
projections that the costs of
[2:56:06]
goods and services are likely
[2:56:07]
to increase in the coming
[2:56:09]
years, in part because of
[2:56:11]
tariffs, but because of other
[2:56:12]
factors. And so what
[2:56:13]
s likely
[2:56:15]
to be the case? And we know
[2:56:16]
this for sure. For instance, in
[2:56:18]
the case of the county, one of
[2:56:20]
the Colas been for our labor
[2:56:20]
costs. It
[2:56:22]
s basically 5%. So we
[2:56:23]
already know that we
[2:56:24]
re falling
[2:56:26]
behind. Uh, in terms of the
[2:56:26]
allocations that are provided
[2:56:28]
for measure x, that are
[2:56:30]
personnel related over time,
[2:56:32]
that essentially feels like a
[2:56:33]
service cut. It will
[2:56:35]
necessitate service level
[2:56:36]
reductions because the Colas
[2:56:38]
that are being applied are not
[2:56:38]
going to keep up with the cost
[2:56:40]
of those positions or the
[2:56:42]
services and goods that are
[2:56:43]
being purchased through these
[2:56:45]
as well, or through the
[2:56:46]
contracts that we were
[2:56:48]
establishing with CBOs,
[2:56:50]
nonprofit providers and others
[2:56:51]
in order to provide those
[2:56:52]
services to us. Because the
[2:56:52]
coals we
[2:56:53]
re putting on those
[2:56:54]
contracts are not sufficient to
[2:56:56]
keep up with what the pace of
[2:56:58]
inflation is likely to be in
[2:57:00]
the future. And in the near
[2:57:03]
term. So given that 2.34
[2:57:06]
million gave us that almost 2%,
[2:57:09]
the addition of 1.4 would get
[2:57:12]
us, um, a little over the 2%
[2:57:13]
mark. Where would that put us?
[2:57:15]
It would put us closer to the
[2:57:18]
3%. And so that gets
[2:57:19]
realistically closer to what
[2:57:22]
inflation is now. What has been
[2:57:23]
cited in various economic
[2:57:25]
indicators nationally. Um, it
[2:57:27]
is unlikely to keep up with the
[2:57:29]
pace of inflation in the future
[2:57:32]
years.. And is it sustainable?
[2:57:35]
Because that was the question I
[2:57:37]
asked before. If we could we go
[2:57:38]
higher? And you said it wasn
[2:57:42]
sustainable. Depending on how
[2:57:42]
it
[2:57:44]
s characterized. Yes. So the
[2:57:47]
the, um, anticipated revenues.
[2:57:49]
So the revenue for next year is
[2:57:51]
1.8% higher compared to current
[2:57:52]
year. What
[2:57:54]
s projected that is,
[2:57:57]
is not going to lead to a
[2:58:00]
significantly large Cola.
[2:58:01]
Currently. The analysis from
[2:58:03]
the sales tax is they think
[2:58:04]
that, you know, in the out
[2:58:05]
years is going to go up. But if
[2:58:08]
we talk to them again, I think
[2:58:09]
they MAY end up revising their
[2:58:11]
numbers. So it
[2:58:12]
s at this point
[2:58:13]
not sustainable. And let
[2:58:14]
s.
[2:58:15]
Just to wrap up, I just, you
[2:58:16]
know, I
[2:58:17]
m, I
[2:58:18]
m conscientious of
[2:58:20]
one staying in the measure.
[2:58:22]
Explain. But to, you know,
[2:58:24]
preserving what we have already
[2:58:26]
invested in again. Um, the last
[2:58:29]
thing I want to see is service
[2:58:29]
cuts, whether it
[2:58:31]
s buy us or
[2:58:32]
our, our partners who are out
[2:58:33]
there providing services, it
[2:58:35]
be a lot easier if we had this
[2:58:36]
assessment right here, right
[2:58:37]
now. And we don
[2:58:38]
t know. And I
[2:58:38]
think that
[2:58:40]
s sort of the goal
[2:58:42]
is that if we find, um, either
[2:58:44]
that when the needs assessment
[2:58:45]
takes place, there are
[2:58:46]
completely different needs than
[2:58:46]
we
[2:58:48]
re funding, and then we find
[2:58:49]
programs that aren
[2:58:50]
t, um,
[2:58:52]
efficiently providing services,
[2:58:53]
then we would have the
[2:58:54]
opportunity to reallocate and
[2:58:55]
put the money where it
[2:58:56]
s most
[2:58:56]
needed. But what
[2:58:57]
s currently in
[2:58:58]
measure is what I
[2:58:59]
m concerned
[2:59:01]
about sustaining and not having
[2:59:03]
negatively impacted, um, based
[2:59:04]
on the economy we
[2:59:05]
re facing,
[2:59:05]
whether it
[2:59:07]
s tariffs or some
[2:59:08]
other abstract idea that falls
[2:59:10]
out of the sky. And there
[2:59:10]
s an
[2:59:12]
additional response based on
[2:59:13]
Supervisor Carlson
[2:59:13]
s supervisor
[2:59:15]
Bergus, both your questioning
[2:59:16]
is about sustainability. It
[2:59:19]
worthwhile, um, reminding
[2:59:21]
everyone that we have a
[2:59:23]
significant number of pilot
[2:59:25]
projects, a number of
[2:59:26]
initiatives that have one time
[2:59:28]
funding associated with them
[2:59:31]
that most people probably want
[2:59:33]
those to be sustained. And
[2:59:33]
we
[2:59:34]
ll need to have sources
[2:59:36]
identified when that one time
[2:59:38]
funding ends. Okay. And Chanel,
[2:59:38]
you
[2:59:39]
ve got a question. Please
[2:59:43]
go ahead. And thank you. Chair.
[2:59:44]
So I just wanted to see have we
[2:59:46]
ever had a needs assessment for
[2:59:48]
measure x before? It depends on
[2:59:48]
how you
[2:59:49]
re defining needs
[2:59:51]
assessment. We did. Yeah we
[2:59:54]
did. So needs assessment. Um
[2:59:55]
one could argue has been
[2:59:57]
continuous by the mix cab for
[2:59:58]
instance measure x Community
[3:00:00]
Advisory board for the past
[3:00:01]
four years they
[3:00:02]
ve had
[3:00:04]
sustained large number of
[3:00:06]
sessions to review and to, to
[3:00:08]
to discuss amongst themselves
[3:00:10]
what they perceive as being the
[3:00:11]
community needs. And we
[3:00:12]
ve had
[3:00:13]
very regular meetings. And the
[3:00:14]
first year they had a meeting
[3:00:15]
every week and they would be
[3:00:16]
several hours long. So there
[3:00:18]
was a lot of effort, uh, that
[3:00:21]
was put into having departments
[3:00:22]
come in and present and then
[3:00:24]
the mix cab, then to do their
[3:00:26]
level of assessment and then
[3:00:27]
provide their priority
[3:00:28]
recommendations to the Board of
[3:00:30]
Supervisors. They put in a lot
[3:00:30]
of effort. They
[3:00:31]
ve continued to
[3:00:34]
do so over the past four years.
[3:00:36]
But at varying times, different
[3:00:38]
paces and different approaches.
[3:00:40]
We have not had a professional
[3:00:41]
needs assessment done by an
[3:00:43]
external party or others that
[3:00:47]
are gathering data in an um, in
[3:00:50]
an a more coordinated and
[3:00:51]
intentional way focused on
[3:00:54]
specific areas that provide the
[3:00:56]
broad range of of indicators,
[3:00:57]
information and analysis that
[3:00:59]
you would see that normally
[3:01:01]
require a lot more hours and
[3:01:03]
resources in order to conduct.
[3:01:04]
And we started during the
[3:01:05]
pandemic, which was part of the
[3:01:06]
problem. So we weren
[3:01:07]
t able to
[3:01:10]
do town halls that we might
[3:01:12]
other or the cab might have
[3:01:14]
otherwise done, but also
[3:01:15]
department heads weren
[3:01:15]
t all
[3:01:17]
invited, you know, it was it
[3:01:19]
was sort of a little we were
[3:01:20]
the cab did an amazing job
[3:01:22]
trying to figure it out and
[3:01:25]
trying, but some department
[3:01:25]
heads felt like they weren
[3:01:29]
given as much time or to an
[3:01:29]
opportunity to present what
[3:01:31]
their needs were. It got
[3:01:32]
sometimes it got a little
[3:01:33]
messy, and that was just sort
[3:01:36]
of the reality. Um, as the
[3:01:37]
needs assessment. Was done
[3:01:39]
well, how often do the
[3:01:40]
departments do their own needs
[3:01:42]
assessments? It depends. Some
[3:01:44]
needs assessments are mandated
[3:01:45]
either by the federal
[3:01:47]
government or by the state. Um,
[3:01:48]
those includes like ones that
[3:01:49]
ve worked on personally with
[3:01:52]
my career, uh, aging and adult
[3:01:53]
services, the aging Office on
[3:01:55]
Aging has to do a needs
[3:01:56]
assessment and refresh it. I
[3:01:58]
believe every three years there
[3:01:59]
are other departments that do
[3:02:02]
need assessments as well. And
[3:02:04]
this would, um, the intention
[3:02:05]
would be to incorporate the
[3:02:06]
data and information that they
[3:02:08]
have along the way and to to
[3:02:10]
package it into kind of a
[3:02:12]
fuller review of, of, of
[3:02:15]
variety of needs. And then in
[3:02:20]
terms of the $250,000 for that,
[3:02:21]
where would that money come
[3:02:23]
from? Would that come from the
[3:02:24]
1.4 million? That
[3:02:25]
s what I
[3:02:27]
suggesting, that we off the top
[3:02:29]
before we start allocating
[3:02:31]
that, we take the 250 out of
[3:02:32]
that. Um, obviously there are
[3:02:34]
other funds that we potentially
[3:02:36]
could look at as well. But my
[3:02:38]
goal is in setting this. This
[3:02:40]
is such a small sum. And I know
[3:02:42]
Ken sort of leaning toward,
[3:02:44]
hey, or appearing to say,
[3:02:45]
should some of this be going
[3:02:46]
back into Colas? Uh, we
[3:02:47]
ve got
[3:02:48]
a lot to discuss about that
[3:02:49]
after we hear public comment,
[3:02:51]
but what I was proposing that
[3:02:54]
it would come out of that 1.4
[3:02:56]
million. So I only asked
[3:02:58]
because we just did a needs
[3:02:59]
assessment for the African
[3:03:03]
American Wellness Hub. Um, and
[3:03:06]
I know $250,000 MAY not seem
[3:03:08]
like a lot of money, but it
[3:03:08]
s a
[3:03:09]
lot of money to people who are
[3:03:12]
in need that needed it right
[3:03:17]
away. And so, um, you know, for
[3:03:18]
me is it
[3:03:19]
s almost as if we
[3:03:20]
re
[3:03:21]
going to do a needs assessment.
[3:03:22]
I understand that we need to
[3:03:24]
look at outcomes and measures,
[3:03:25]
and that
[3:03:27]
s important to, um,
[3:03:27]
but I wouldn
[3:03:28]
t want it to come
[3:03:31]
out of this $1.4 million. I
[3:03:32]
would want to give that to the
[3:03:33]
people. Like, that
[3:03:34]
s what the
[3:03:36]
mix is working on to make sure
[3:03:36]
that money
[3:03:38]
s going out to the
[3:03:41]
community. So I would like to
[3:03:43]
look at a different, um,
[3:03:45]
revenue source if we were going
[3:03:46]
to do a needs assessment for a
[3:03:48]
mixed cap. I mean, for measure
[3:03:51]
x. Um. I have a question. Um,
[3:03:53]
we have the chair of the cab
[3:03:55]
here since I sort of used part
[3:03:59]
of this presentation. How, um,
[3:04:01]
listening to this discussion
[3:04:03]
about how we would do a needs
[3:04:05]
assessment and given what the
[3:04:08]
Cab has done, and then also the
[3:04:10]
evaluation, what what do you do
[3:04:12]
you want to can I ask Roxana to
[3:04:14]
come up for a second? Um, I
[3:04:15]
mentioned it to her yesterday,
[3:04:16]
but yeah, she
[3:04:16]
s welcome. To
[3:04:19]
just to, um, how do you see how
[3:04:21]
do you see the cabs work
[3:04:26]
aligning with this discussion?
[3:04:30]
Thank you. So, I mean, the the
[3:04:32]
cab has really been working
[3:04:34]
since FEBRUARY to look at
[3:04:36]
results based accountability.
[3:04:39]
And that is a process that is
[3:04:42]
being used by other Bay area
[3:04:42]
counties. We
[3:04:43]
ve had. I
[3:04:44]
ve
[3:04:45]
personally have had meetings
[3:04:47]
with Sonoma that used it with
[3:04:49]
their Arpa funds, with Alameda,
[3:04:51]
who is using it for measure x,
[3:04:54]
we measure a sorry, Santa
[3:04:55]
Clara, and it
[3:04:56]
s a really
[3:04:58]
important, I think,
[3:05:00]
methodology. And I want to just
[3:05:03]
clarify something that um, was
[3:05:04]
mentioned by Chair Anderson.
[3:05:07]
The Cab is not intending on
[3:05:10]
working on performance
[3:05:12]
indicators. Really what we when
[3:05:14]
we laid this out, I think a
[3:05:16]
couple of meetings ago, our
[3:05:18]
interest is to to bring the
[3:05:20]
ballot language and the measure
[3:05:23]
x Community Advisory Board
[3:05:24]
operating principles together.
[3:05:25]
I think we don
[3:05:27]
t have shared
[3:05:29]
language that we are using
[3:05:30]
currently in this county about
[3:05:32]
what it is that we are actually
[3:05:34]
wanting to evaluate, right? We
[3:05:36]
have these conversations about
[3:05:38]
the 500 words in the ballot
[3:05:40]
language versus the operating
[3:05:41]
principles. So we
[3:05:41]
ve been going
[3:05:43]
through a process of using
[3:05:46]
results based accountability
[3:05:48]
processes to look at how do we
[3:05:50]
bring that language together.
[3:05:53]
How do we as a Cab, present a
[3:05:55]
dialogue to document to the
[3:05:59]
board on high level population
[3:06:01]
indicators? Right. What are the
[3:06:02]
population indicators that
[3:06:02]
we
[3:06:04]
re interested in in terms of
[3:06:06]
making sure our ambulatory care
[3:06:07]
system works, that we
[3:06:08]
re
[3:06:10]
protecting the vulnerable that
[3:06:13]
we are? Um, providing
[3:06:15]
investments to children, 0 to
[3:06:17]
5. All of those issues are
[3:06:19]
equally important. But we have
[3:06:21]
to have a shared language about
[3:06:22]
how we were to go about that.
[3:06:24]
If we hired a consultant
[3:06:26]
tomorrow, they would not be
[3:06:27]
able to do that without the
[3:06:29]
work that the Cab is currently
[3:06:31]
undertaking. And then I just
[3:06:33]
also want to mention that Arbor
[3:06:34]
is the only methodology that
[3:06:37]
rooted in real world community
[3:06:39]
impact action. You know, things
[3:06:41]
that can be actionable by our
[3:06:43]
departments and our public. And
[3:06:43]
it
[3:06:45]
s focused on changing the
[3:06:47]
curve, not just counting
[3:06:47]
services. So it
[3:06:48]
s not about
[3:06:49]
having a consultant come in and
[3:06:52]
say, for example, we provided x
[3:06:54]
number of services to African
[3:06:56]
American community members.
[3:06:57]
It
[3:06:58]
s how well did we do that?
[3:07:00]
Are we changing the curve in
[3:07:02]
maternal child health, for
[3:07:03]
example? And what is the
[3:07:05]
intervention and strategy to do
[3:07:08]
that? A consultant that was
[3:07:10]
trained and has a, you know,
[3:07:12]
the evaluation skills that we
[3:07:14]
all sort of took in college is
[3:07:16]
not going to get you there.
[3:07:16]
Right? It
[3:07:17]
s about breaking down
[3:07:20]
the jargon and really creating
[3:07:22]
a process where we can look at
[3:07:23]
what are the root causes and
[3:07:25]
are we addressing those root
[3:07:27]
causes, and how are we bringing
[3:07:28]
the community to the table with
[3:07:30]
our departments to look at
[3:07:32]
those interventions to change
[3:07:33]
the outcomes? That
[3:07:33]
s what
[3:07:35]
results based accountability is
[3:07:36]
doing. And again, I just want
[3:07:40]
to say we are not planning as a
[3:07:42]
cab to go through this entire
[3:07:44]
process. We just want to
[3:07:45]
develop aocument that we can
[3:07:47]
have a dialogue with the board
[3:07:48]
on, and the ceo
[3:07:50]
s office on, in
[3:07:51]
terms of how can we proceed
[3:07:54]
forward with actually shared
[3:07:58]
population indicators.. Roxann.
[3:08:02]
Um, how much are you looking to
[3:08:03]
pay for someone to help you
[3:08:04]
develop that, or how much are
[3:08:07]
you paying for to do that? So
[3:08:07]
currently we
[3:08:09]
ve been working
[3:08:11]
from FEBRUARY until this month.
[3:08:11]
We
[3:08:12]
ve been working in a work
[3:08:14]
group to really try to move
[3:08:16]
through that process of
[3:08:18]
combining ballot language and
[3:08:20]
and the equity principles out
[3:08:24]
of measure x. Um, cab, um, and
[3:08:25]
we are going to present you all
[3:08:28]
with those draft population
[3:08:30]
indicators in JULY. Are you
[3:08:31]
doing that with a consultant or
[3:08:32]
are you doing that all right.
[3:08:33]
Just you
[3:08:34]
re not doing it with
[3:08:35]
the consultant. Now, I do think
[3:08:37]
this is you know, what I, what
[3:08:39]
we put into the proposal is
[3:08:42]
this is a one 1 to 2 year
[3:08:43]
process that most counties have
[3:08:45]
gone through. We do feel that
[3:08:46]
there
[3:08:48]
s synergy with osa on
[3:08:48]
this. They
[3:08:50]
re currently working
[3:08:53]
on race equity plans and equity
[3:08:54]
statements. They
[3:08:54]
ve come to our
[3:08:56]
Cab meeting and said that, you
[3:08:57]
know, they
[3:08:57]
re interested in
[3:08:59]
hiring a consultant. And I
[3:09:01]
think it is synergistic with
[3:09:02]
what our office is already
[3:09:03]
doing. So I wouldn
[3:09:04]
t want to
[3:09:06]
proceed. Sure. Without also
[3:09:10]
talking to sj. I think the the
[3:09:10]
thing that
[3:09:13]
s kind of the
[3:09:15]
challenge for someone like me
[3:09:19]
sitting up here having the
[3:09:22]
responsibility of having
[3:09:23]
mandated services from the
[3:09:24]
federal and state government.
[3:09:25]
So that
[3:09:28]
s wording and metrics
[3:09:29]
and values that we don
[3:09:32]
dictate. But are, you know,
[3:09:35]
required to do. And it
[3:09:36]
s about
[3:09:38]
taking those mandated things
[3:09:40]
and then taking what we
[3:09:40]
re
[3:09:42]
trying to do, and not only
[3:09:44]
trying to do it for the values
[3:09:44]
that we
[3:09:45]
re talking about, but
[3:09:49]
also that it actually has a
[3:09:49]
support. And it
[3:09:51]
s, you know,
[3:09:52]
leveraging things. So I think
[3:09:53]
that
[3:09:54]
s where what we
[3:09:55]
re talking
[3:09:57]
about doing kind of puts it
[3:09:59]
together. The other question I
[3:10:01]
have is, you know, we
[3:10:01]
ve talked
[3:10:03]
about one time dollars. We
[3:10:03]
ve
[3:10:05]
talked about programs. We
[3:10:05]
ve
[3:10:08]
talked about the possibility of
[3:10:12]
the, um, revenue shrinking. And
[3:10:13]
ve been here since the
[3:10:14]
beginning of the measure x. And
[3:10:16]
so, you know, when we got all
[3:10:19]
of the goals and, and, um,
[3:10:22]
values and all of those things,
[3:10:22]
I didn
[3:10:25]
t expect that we would
[3:10:28]
get keep getting additions and
[3:10:29]
challenges and all of that. I
[3:10:30]
kind of expected that to kind
[3:10:33]
of be the base, because we knew
[3:10:35]
that we were going to commit
[3:10:37]
certain dollars, and then there
[3:10:42]
would be less of it. And so my
[3:10:44]
is that acknowledged in measure
[3:10:48]
x, that that the you can
[3:10:48]
t keep
[3:10:50]
adding on to our goals when
[3:10:50]
we
[3:10:51]
re trying to meet the goals
[3:10:53]
that you set. Does that make
[3:10:53]
sense what I
[3:10:54]
m saying. So so I
[3:10:57]
would say in terms of um,
[3:10:58]
priorities that we brought
[3:11:00]
before the board, um, after
[3:11:03]
that first funding cycle, we
[3:11:04]
certainly, as a cab realized
[3:11:06]
that we just went through an
[3:11:07]
epidemic. Right? We just went
[3:11:10]
through Covid, right. And it
[3:11:10]
wasn
[3:11:11]
t as though we were
[3:11:13]
starting from ground zero and
[3:11:14]
nothing had happened in the
[3:11:17]
county. A decent base. And so I
[3:11:18]
think we were responding in
[3:11:20]
real time to what we were
[3:11:22]
seeing, which was, you know,
[3:11:24]
folks having problem with, you
[3:11:25]
know, being able to pay their
[3:11:27]
rent, right? Mental health is a
[3:11:29]
huge issue. I would say across
[3:11:32]
the populations. And, you know,
[3:11:34]
through those years, I was just
[3:11:35]
reviewing some of our
[3:11:37]
allocations. You know, we we
[3:11:42]
asked for money for lgbtq plus
[3:11:44]
can that that has been
[3:11:44]
something that we
[3:11:45]
ve asked over
[3:11:46]
a couple of different funding
[3:11:47]
cycles. And I do believe
[3:11:49]
behavioral health has one
[3:11:51]
program in this last cycle. You
[3:11:53]
know, we asked for it again. So
[3:11:55]
I mean, I think we were really
[3:11:56]
addressing issues that weren
[3:11:58]
present in the first funding
[3:12:01]
cycle. Do you think that the
[3:12:03]
fact that we made those
[3:12:05]
commitments based on the time?
[3:12:06]
And I think you
[3:12:08]
re right, and I
[3:12:08]
haven
[3:12:08]
t really thought about it
[3:12:09]
that way, but you
[3:12:11]
re right. Um,
[3:12:14]
do you think that we need to
[3:12:17]
shift some of those things? I
[3:12:17]
wouldn
[3:12:18]
t say that. I mean, I
[3:12:19]
think what results based
[3:12:21]
accountability can do, it can
[3:12:23]
help us level set and see where
[3:12:25]
have our investments gone
[3:12:26]
currently. And let me just be
[3:12:27]
really clear. You can
[3:12:27]
t do this
[3:12:29]
without the departments, right?
[3:12:29]
Right. You can
[3:12:30]
t do this
[3:12:32]
without the community either.
[3:12:33]
Right. And and I think it
[3:12:36]
really important to have a
[3:12:37]
very, you know, to speak to
[3:12:38]
Adam
[3:12:41]
s point, have a very clear
[3:12:42]
process of looking at what is
[3:12:44]
our baseline data, what are
[3:12:46]
some of the issues, um, what
[3:12:49]
are the causes? And sometimes
[3:12:51]
system failures, what are the
[3:12:52]
strategies? And then how do we
[3:12:54]
move towards performance
[3:12:55]
measures. And I would say that
[3:12:57]
the county departments are
[3:12:58]
already moving in this
[3:12:59]
direction, that health has
[3:13:01]
already bringing community to
[3:13:03]
the table to look at
[3:13:04]
interventions. So I just feel
[3:13:07]
like Arbor is is results based.
[3:13:09]
Accountability is an important
[3:13:10]
process because number one, it
[3:13:14]
is equity focused. Right. Do
[3:13:17]
you account for the revenue
[3:13:18]
shrinking? Yeah, I mean, what
[3:13:19]
we
[3:13:20]
re looking at quite
[3:13:21]
honestly, Supervisor Bergus, is
[3:13:22]
the fact that we aren
[3:13:23]
t going
[3:13:25]
to be allocating a lot of
[3:13:26]
funding. And so to Ken
[3:13:27]
Carlson
[3:13:28]
s point, like how is
[3:13:31]
that money been spent in the
[3:13:32]
departments to date? How is
[3:13:34]
that working? Do there need to
[3:13:37]
be pivots, maybe other
[3:13:39]
strategies employed, and how
[3:13:41]
are we looking at. Will you
[3:13:44]
help us decide where those
[3:13:44]
pivots are? Because that
[3:13:45]
s when
[3:13:46]
we become the bad guy. But I
[3:13:50]
think the we again is the cab.
[3:13:52]
The departments, the ceo
[3:13:54]
office. Like we all need to row
[3:13:56]
in the same direction, right?
[3:13:58]
And when I met with the measure
[3:14:00]
aid chair a couple of months
[3:14:02]
ago, I was heartened to hear
[3:14:04]
that their cab was working with
[3:14:06]
their board to really look at
[3:14:09]
how to make those pivots. Um,
[3:14:10]
and, you know, the board
[3:14:11]
members in Alameda, they do
[3:14:12]
have an amount that
[3:14:13]
s allocated
[3:14:16]
to them to do whatever projects
[3:14:17]
they want to do. I think it
[3:14:19]
100,000, something like that,
[3:14:21]
so that the board also has the
[3:14:23]
ability to really work on
[3:14:24]
specialized projects that you
[3:14:26]
all want to work on. But back
[3:14:28]
to the voters, which I think
[3:14:30]
you are, you care very deeply
[3:14:32]
about. How are we explaining to
[3:14:34]
the voters, you know, what,
[3:14:36]
what are what have we funded?
[3:14:38]
Have those strategies worked?
[3:14:39]
And I think with pride we can
[3:14:41]
say, yeah, we were ahead of the
[3:14:43]
curve around fire mitigation,
[3:14:45]
right around making sure our
[3:14:46]
firefighters have the resources
[3:14:48]
they need. We were ahead of the
[3:14:49]
game, you know, in a lot of
[3:14:50]
different areas. But I think
[3:14:52]
now we need to employ a
[3:14:54]
consistent process across all
[3:14:56]
of our departments. Thank you.
[3:14:58]
Well, and the question I have
[3:15:00]
and because again, yesterday
[3:15:01]
was the first day you mentioned
[3:15:03]
the results based
[3:15:04]
accountability. And one, I
[3:15:05]
think it
[3:15:06]
s challenging for me
[3:15:08]
because we, the Board of
[3:15:09]
Supervisors, have not weighed
[3:15:11]
in on whether or not we think
[3:15:11]
that
[3:15:13]
s how we should be
[3:15:13]
evaluating the efficacy. That
[3:15:15]
what we want to do. We want to.
[3:15:17]
Do that. I understand that,
[3:15:19]
Roxann, but but the reality is,
[3:15:22]
um, as you described it
[3:15:23]
yesterday, you saw much more or
[3:15:26]
i interpreted much more as the
[3:15:27]
cab really being the ones that
[3:15:29]
are going to be doing the work.
[3:15:29]
Now, today, I
[3:15:30]
m hearing you say
[3:15:31]
you think you should be
[3:15:34]
partnering with or potentially
[3:15:36]
to do this. For me, it
[3:15:36]
s going
[3:15:38]
to be, um, important that we
[3:15:41]
have a third party helping lead
[3:15:42]
whatever process we decide on.
[3:15:43]
And I think it
[3:15:45]
s got to at some
[3:15:47]
point, this board really needs
[3:15:49]
to look at different ways to
[3:15:49]
evaluate. You
[3:15:51]
ve presented one
[3:15:51]
that sounds like it
[3:15:52]
s a very
[3:15:54]
effective way to evaluate the
[3:15:56]
efficacy of a program, but
[3:15:57]
there MAY be other ways. And
[3:15:58]
that
[3:15:59]
s something that we as a
[3:16:00]
board have not yet had an
[3:16:01]
opportunity to weigh in on,
[3:16:02]
because we don
[3:16:03]
t know all of
[3:16:06]
the different types of analyses
[3:16:07]
out there to really determine
[3:16:09]
that. Right? So I just want to
[3:16:10]
say a couple of things. Number
[3:16:11]
one, I just didn
[3:16:11]
t sort of drop
[3:16:12]
it on you yesterday. We
[3:16:13]
ve been
[3:16:15]
working on this since FEBRUARY.
[3:16:16]
And we got, you know, a
[3:16:18]
consultant to come in and do a
[3:16:20]
presentation to our board in
[3:16:21]
FEBRUARY. And we
[3:16:22]
ve been
[3:16:24]
working steadily towards that
[3:16:25]
and having updates within our
[3:16:28]
Cab meetings. The second is
[3:16:29]
this is really about
[3:16:31]
governance, right? Like how are
[3:16:33]
we? How are you? You know,
[3:16:35]
making really tough governance
[3:16:37]
decisions to Supersor Bergus
[3:16:39]
point at a time when, you know,
[3:16:39]
we know we
[3:16:41]
re going to be our
[3:16:42]
most vulnerable populations are
[3:16:44]
going to be impacted in so many
[3:16:47]
ways. And I do think this is a
[3:16:49]
process that is rigorous. It
[3:16:50]
transparent, it
[3:16:52]
s community
[3:16:52]
anchored. It
[3:16:54]
s not full of
[3:16:55]
jargon. You know, it is a way
[3:16:57]
that I think we can develop
[3:16:59]
some consistency and have some
[3:17:01]
shared sort of expectations
[3:17:02]
about what our money is doing.
[3:17:04]
It worked really has worked
[3:17:05]
really well for other
[3:17:07]
localities. And have they done
[3:17:08]
it through their community
[3:17:09]
advisory bodies, or have they
[3:17:11]
hired consultants to do the
[3:17:13]
analysis? So they have had. So
[3:17:15]
I think the longer process,
[3:17:18]
this is a year plus process, I
[3:17:20]
think they have worked through
[3:17:21]
Sonoma, for example, worked
[3:17:22]
through their community
[3:17:24]
advisory board for their Arpa
[3:17:27]
funding. Um, and then their,
[3:17:28]
their office that was really
[3:17:31]
working on Arpa as well as the
[3:17:33]
community went through a
[3:17:34]
process of really determining
[3:17:37]
what the performance indicators
[3:17:38]
would be and what the root
[3:17:40]
causes would be. And that
[3:17:40]
s not
[3:17:42]
a process that I foresee the
[3:17:44]
cab going through. Again, it
[3:17:45]
really a process that would
[3:17:47]
take flight, you know, with all
[3:17:48]
of the parties that I
[3:17:50]
mentioned. So it is not the cab
[3:17:51]
that would go through that year
[3:17:52]
long process. It
[3:17:53]
s not the cab
[3:17:56]
that would work with or it
[3:17:56]
s we
[3:17:58]
are setting in motion, I think,
[3:18:00]
a framework for the board to
[3:18:02]
consider. And then we could
[3:18:03]
move forward. And what I
[3:18:05]
suggested to you yesterday was,
[3:18:05]
let
[3:18:07]
s have a study session on
[3:18:09]
this in AUGUST so that we can
[3:18:10]
have that dialogue with the
[3:18:12]
board and make a decision. And
[3:18:13]
I would I would agree, let
[3:18:16]
not make a decision about a
[3:18:16]
consultant until we
[3:18:17]
ve had a
[3:18:19]
chance to have the conversation
[3:18:20]
with the full board about what
[3:18:23]
the parameters would be. And
[3:18:24]
what other options potentially
[3:18:25]
are. I mean, that
[3:18:27]
s one. Again,
[3:18:28]
you presented it to me
[3:18:29]
yesterday. Yes. You
[3:18:29]
ve been
[3:18:30]
working on it longer, but it
[3:18:30]
hasn
[3:18:31]
t been presented to the
[3:18:32]
board. And so yesterday was the
[3:18:34]
first time I discussed with
[3:18:35]
you. It sounds like a very
[3:18:36]
valid methodology, but there
[3:18:38]
MAY be others that I think I
[3:18:39]
would want to consider. John,
[3:18:40]
you had a comment. I want to
[3:18:43]
ask a follow up on on this what
[3:18:44]
your role would be. Again, on
[3:18:45]
the needs assessment. I do want
[3:18:47]
to say in response to
[3:18:49]
Supervisor Preston comment
[3:18:50]
about needs assessment in a
[3:18:53]
way, the first needs assessment
[3:18:54]
was done even before it was a
[3:18:56]
very general approach, before
[3:18:58]
we put it on the ballot, we
[3:19:00]
worked with some community
[3:19:01]
groups. We put together labor
[3:19:04]
and community to come together
[3:19:06]
and develop some ideas. We did
[3:19:08]
some polling right. We looked
[3:19:09]
at what the public would
[3:19:11]
support. We looked at high need
[3:19:14]
areas so that we did polling.
[3:19:16]
Um, we had our our sort of
[3:19:18]
community. Mariana, I guess,
[3:19:20]
was co-chair along with, uh,
[3:19:22]
Josh and Aja of Central Labor.
[3:19:24]
And then once the measure
[3:19:27]
passed, the cab got established
[3:19:30]
and they for many months
[3:19:33]
brought in department heads and
[3:19:35]
various community groups and
[3:19:36]
service providers and things to
[3:19:39]
hear from community over a many
[3:19:40]
month process. And then you
[3:19:43]
came out with your needs
[3:19:46]
assessment now saying that, as
[3:19:48]
we all know, needs assessment
[3:19:49]
will look different depending
[3:19:52]
on who does them. And so we I
[3:19:53]
don
[3:19:54]
t think this, this fiction
[3:19:55]
that a third party professional
[3:19:57]
can do a better needs
[3:19:57]
assessment. It
[3:19:58]
s all who
[3:20:00]
directing that. Who the
[3:20:01]
guidance that
[3:20:02]
s being provided
[3:20:04]
to do a needs assessment.
[3:20:04]
Because we
[3:20:05]
re a county of 1.2
[3:20:06]
million people and people are
[3:20:07]
going to feel differently about
[3:20:10]
their needs. How would you see
[3:20:11]
The Cab
[3:20:14]
s role if we brought on
[3:20:17]
a consultant, whoever that will
[3:20:18]
be, and obviously, which
[3:20:21]
consultant you brings on also
[3:20:26]
affects the outcome. Um, so how
[3:20:28]
would you what would be the
[3:20:30]
what would you see as the most
[3:20:31]
effective role to ensure that
[3:20:35]
we get the broadest sort of,
[3:20:36]
quote, most objective, knowing
[3:20:38]
that these are subjective
[3:20:40]
things, objective data about
[3:20:43]
needs assessment, um, you know,
[3:20:44]
we all come from different
[3:20:45]
places and we all have
[3:20:47]
different views of what needs
[3:20:48]
there are. And there
[3:20:49]
s nothing
[3:20:49]
wrong with that. It
[3:20:50]
s just the
[3:20:52]
lens that we look through. How
[3:20:53]
would, given we have this
[3:20:54]
diverse group, how would you
[3:20:56]
see the Cavs role with the
[3:20:58]
consultant? So I think we
[3:21:00]
would, after having the
[3:21:01]
dialogue with the board and
[3:21:04]
having some shared agreements
[3:21:06]
about the high level, think of
[3:21:09]
it as the 350 foot performance
[3:21:11]
indicators based on the ballot
[3:21:14]
language again and the um,
[3:21:16]
measure x cab principles, I
[3:21:18]
think we would provide that
[3:21:21]
consultant with those outcomes
[3:21:22]
that we we had a chance to
[3:21:24]
really talk with the board and
[3:21:24]
ceo
[3:21:27]
s office. I think then the
[3:21:29]
the consultant would set about
[3:21:31]
really bringing together the
[3:21:32]
broader number of stakeholders.
[3:21:36]
So I think the departments, the
[3:21:38]
community and really start to
[3:21:40]
go through the process of which
[3:21:43]
is the second layer of process,
[3:21:45]
which I working on performance
[3:21:47]
indicators. Um, so I think that
[3:21:49]
would be sort of a secondary
[3:21:50]
process. I don
[3:21:51]
t foresee the
[3:21:53]
cab being as involved in that
[3:21:54]
part of the process, but we
[3:21:56]
certainly can, you. Know, what
[3:21:58]
about this issue? I mean, look,
[3:22:00]
um, part of what we
[3:22:00]
re trying
[3:22:03]
to do is use this funding
[3:22:04]
source to make the biggest
[3:22:06]
difference possible in certain
[3:22:07]
areas, especially areas where
[3:22:10]
we have some responsibility.
[3:22:14]
Um, and obviously, the federal
[3:22:16]
cutbacks are going to affect us
[3:22:17]
dramatically. State cutbacks
[3:22:19]
affect us. So there
[3:22:19]
s a lot of
[3:22:20]
needs out there. How how would
[3:22:22]
you incorporate with the
[3:22:22]
consultant? Well, that
[3:22:23]
s a
[3:22:23]
need, but it
[3:22:24]
s not a need that
[3:22:25]
we can really address. Maybe
[3:22:26]
that
[3:22:27]
s a need of a city can
[3:22:29]
address better or or the
[3:22:30]
federal government can address
[3:22:33]
better. So how do you work on
[3:22:34]
distinguishing that piece of
[3:22:36]
it? So our bar. With the
[3:22:37]
consultant because otherwise a
[3:22:38]
consultant is going to say
[3:22:38]
here
[3:22:39]
s a need. We MAY say,
[3:22:39]
yeah, that
[3:22:40]
s a great need. But
[3:22:41]
but the federal government
[3:22:42]
going to have to deal with
[3:22:44]
that. Not us. Right, right.
[3:22:45]
Well I think Arbor would be the
[3:22:48]
framework that that helps the
[3:22:50]
consultant begin to gather the
[3:22:51]
information of what we
[3:22:51]
re
[3:22:53]
already funding. But I think
[3:22:55]
what it can also do is see
[3:22:56]
whether or not those
[3:22:59]
investments have actually shown
[3:23:00]
the outcomes. Our, you know,
[3:23:01]
our community is better off by
[3:23:03]
the investments that have been
[3:23:04]
made. And then I think it
[3:23:06]
really looking to the community
[3:23:08]
and to the departments to see
[3:23:09]
what are what are the other
[3:23:10]
needs that aren
[3:23:11]
t being met.
[3:23:11]
And that
[3:23:13]
s actually how we some
[3:23:15]
of how we came up with our
[3:23:15]
recommendations. And just. As
[3:23:17]
you saw. Today, we all got an
[3:23:18]
email from the executive
[3:23:20]
director of White Pony Express
[3:23:21]
telling us about a need from
[3:23:22]
their standpoint. They
[3:23:23]
re
[3:23:24]
looking for. Hundred security.
[3:23:24]
They
[3:23:27]
re losing $450,000. Right.
[3:23:27]
So we know that
[3:23:28]
s a need. How
[3:23:30]
do we sort of right there. We
[3:23:32]
all got that. I see that. We
[3:23:33]
did. That
[3:23:34]
s why I brought up
[3:23:36]
the, um consent item that
[3:23:40]
talked about, um, food and
[3:23:40]
who
[3:23:45]
s accessing. Okay. Any
[3:23:47]
other questions for Roxanne?
[3:23:47]
And I know we
[3:23:48]
re starting to
[3:23:49]
cross the line of comments, so
[3:23:49]
we
[3:23:50]
ll. Wait for public
[3:23:50]
comments. We
[3:23:51]
re going to again,
[3:23:52]
we need to listen to everyone.
[3:23:53]
The question I have for my
[3:23:55]
fellow supervisors, would you
[3:23:56]
like to take a break before we
[3:23:57]
do public comment? It
[3:23:58]
s 1230 or
[3:24:00]
would you prefer to, um, beat
[3:24:02]
through? How many comments do
[3:24:04]
we have. Through 1230? I, I can
[3:24:05]
starve for a little bit more
[3:24:07]
and work through this item and
[3:24:08]
take a break before the next
[3:24:09]
item. Oh yeah. Even though
[3:24:10]
it
[3:24:11]
s. Definitely do that.
[3:24:13]
Related. How many speaker cards
[3:24:14]
do we have? Jamie, that will
[3:24:16]
help? I have eight speaker
[3:24:17]
cards, but then that doesn
[3:24:18]
count. All the hands that may
[3:24:21]
go up in zoom. Okay. And I
[3:24:22]
seeing they well, they
[3:24:23]
re not
[3:24:25]
up yet, but anyway. Okay. I
[3:24:27]
need to leave by three, so. Oh,
[3:24:28]
yeah. Well, okay. Well, let
[3:24:29]
go ahead and we
[3:24:29]
ll, we
[3:24:29]
ll go
[3:24:33]
through public comment. We do
[3:24:35]
have comments in chambers. If
[3:24:37]
there are any callers or zoom
[3:24:39]
participants who would like to
[3:24:41]
speak on next steps for
[3:24:43]

[3:25:09]
speakers are Mackenzie,
[3:25:11]
followed by Athena. Please come

to both podiums. Welcome. Thank
[3:25:26]
you. Good afternoon, chair
[3:25:29]
Anderson or her empty chair and
[3:25:29]
supervisors. I
[3:25:30]
m here on behalf
[3:25:32]
of first Vive Contra Costa. So
[3:25:34]
we wanted to first. Thank you.
[3:25:35]
Supervisor Gioia, for your
[3:25:36]
proposal to allocate one time
[3:25:39]
measure funding to early
[3:25:41]
childhood parent peer support
[3:25:43]
and family support services. We
[3:25:44]
would like to highlight a
[3:25:47]
priority population within this
[3:25:49]
group. However, parents of
[3:25:50]
young children with
[3:25:52]
disabilities, delays and
[3:25:55]
developmental concerns in 2024.
[3:25:57]
First five had a series of very
[3:25:58]
rigorous community engagement
[3:25:59]
events and listening sessions
[3:26:02]
and focus groups funded by
[3:26:04]
measure x to hear directly from
[3:26:05]
families, childcare providers
[3:26:07]
and disability advocates.
[3:26:08]
During that process, parent
[3:26:10]
peer support rose to the top as
[3:26:11]
one of the highest priority
[3:26:13]
unmet needs in our county. In
[3:26:14]
our day to day work with
[3:26:15]
families and providers, we
[3:26:15]
ve
[3:26:17]
seen a significant rise in the
[3:26:18]
number of children presenting
[3:26:20]
with developmental delays, the
[3:26:21]
number of kindergarten students
[3:26:23]
who are placed in special
[3:26:24]
education in our county has
[3:26:26]
risen nearly 40% in the last
[3:26:28]
five years, the latest
[3:26:29]
estimates also show that fewer
[3:26:31]
than half of Contra Costa
[3:26:32]
children with Medi-Cal receive
[3:26:33]
a developmental screening in
[3:26:35]
their first three years. Many
[3:26:36]
children with disabilities and
[3:26:38]
delays are entering formal
[3:26:39]
schooling without a diagnosis,
[3:26:41]
and parents of these children
[3:26:42]
are in need of a strong support
[3:26:44]
network. In many cases starting
[3:26:46]
as early as infancy. For
[3:26:48]
families navigating early
[3:26:48]
intervention and early
[3:26:50]
childhood special education,
[3:26:52]
the system is complex,
[3:26:54]
overwhelming and isolating.
[3:26:55]
Peer support provides something
[3:26:57]
crucial that no other service
[3:26:59]
can lived. Experience in real
[3:27:00]
world guidance from those who
[3:27:03]
have walked the same path,
[3:27:04]
families who are informed and
[3:27:06]
supported are more likely to
[3:27:07]
access the right services at
[3:27:09]
the right time, preventing more
[3:27:10]
expensive needs and setting
[3:27:12]
children up on a positive
[3:27:13]
developmental trajectory. We
[3:27:15]
urge you to allocate dedicated
[3:27:16]
funding for parent peer support
[3:27:19]
for this priority population.
[3:27:20]
Additional funds could augment
[3:27:22]
the capacity of local
[3:27:24]
organizations to serve 80 to
[3:27:25]
100 additional families each
[3:27:27]
year. Can you can you specify
[3:27:29]
again? You talked. You made
[3:27:30]
some good comments about the
[3:27:33]
priority population. You
[3:27:33]
re
[3:27:37]
defining it as. Yes, sorry. So
[3:27:39]
parents of young children with
[3:27:41]
disabilities, delays and
[3:27:43]
developmental concerns within
[3:27:45]
the parent Peer Support
[3:27:47]
program. And children with
[3:27:49]
disabilities. Delays and
[3:27:51]
developmental concerns., delays
[3:27:53]
developmental concerns. Okay.
[3:28:02]
Thank you. Yes, sir. Thank you.
[3:28:03]
Um. My name is Athena, and I
[3:28:05]
representing backs for key
[3:28:06]
people housed. Um, I
[3:28:07]
m here to
[3:28:09]
lobby to allocate the 1.5 o
[3:28:11]
1.4 and change to rental for
[3:28:12]
rental assistance for people at
[3:28:14]
risk of homelessness. I wanted
[3:28:16]
to give you all some data, um,
[3:28:17]
to make it more informed.
[3:28:19]
Decision. Keep people housed.
[3:28:21]
Is one of the prevention
[3:28:22]
providers in the community
[3:28:23]
currently. Um, and we
[3:28:24]
ve served
[3:28:27]
over 345 households since the
[3:28:33]
end of the year. In 2023. Um,
[3:28:34]
that
[3:28:36]
s with an average of 5500
[3:28:39]
per household through measure
[3:28:41]
x. Um, as we know it costs a
[3:28:44]
lot more to, you know, 10 to 15
[3:28:45]
k towards people who are
[3:28:47]
already experiencing
[3:28:48]
homelessness. So we
[3:28:48]
re looking
[3:28:51]
to prevent that from happening.
[3:28:52]
Um, the people that we
[3:28:53]
ve
[3:28:56]
served out of that, the 337,
[3:29:00]
uh, sorry, 345, 281 of those
[3:29:02]
were in distressed zip codes,
[3:29:04]
primarily from Antioch,
[3:29:07]
Pittsburgh and Richmond, 250
[3:29:10]
were 30% Ami or lower, and 70
[3:29:13]
were just as involved. Uh, we
[3:29:15]
have to allocate resources to
[3:29:16]
prevention to serve our most
[3:29:17]
vulnerable households from
[3:29:19]
becoming homeless. Backs works
[3:29:22]
in collaboration with Legal
[3:29:23]
Resources, Bay Area Legal Aid,
[3:29:26]
Centro de la Raza Employment
[3:29:27]
and our landlord Engagement
[3:29:29]
team to meet the needs of our
[3:29:30]
clients and help keep them
[3:29:39]
housed. Thank you, thank you,
[3:29:40]
thank. You, thank you so much.
[3:29:42]
Okay, our next speaker is
[3:29:43]
please. The next two speakers
[3:29:46]
are Barb, followed by David.
[3:29:57]
Please come to the podiums. Hi,
[3:29:59]
my name is Barb hunt. I
[3:29:59]
m with
[3:30:01]
Saint Vincent de Paul of Contra
[3:30:02]
Costa County, but I
[3:30:02]
m here
[3:30:03]
today to talk on behalf of the
[3:30:05]
Food Security Collaborative,
[3:30:07]
which entails the food Bank of
[3:30:09]
Contra Costa and Solano loaves
[3:30:11]
and Fishes of Contra Costa,
[3:30:13]
meals on wheels, Diablo Region,
[3:30:15]
White Pony Express and Saint
[3:30:17]
Vincent de Paul of Contra Costa.
[3:30:17]
We
[3:30:19]
re on the front lines of
[3:30:21]
fighting against hunger in our
[3:30:23]
county and all of our
[3:30:25]
organizations are facing
[3:30:27]
significant funding cuts.
[3:30:27]
What
[3:30:29]
s important about food
[3:30:31]
insecurity in Contra Costa
[3:30:32]
County is it
[3:30:35]
s it affects all
[3:30:37]
ages, all demographics, but
[3:30:37]
it
[3:30:39]
s hitting our low income,
[3:30:41]
our most vulnerable neighbors
[3:30:43]
during the pandemic,
[3:30:44]
organizations and government
[3:30:47]
came together to impact that
[3:30:49]
really difficult time. And they
[3:30:51]
made a difference. Today, our
[3:30:53]
situation is eerily similar.
[3:30:56]
Saint Vincent de Paul has, um,
[3:31:00]
our largest rental and and food
[3:31:02]
funder has been suspended. It
[3:31:04]
was emergency food and shelter
[3:31:06]
funding from hud. And we don
[3:31:08]
have that money this year. That
[3:31:11]
money is being has not been
[3:31:14]
distributed. So today, far too
[3:31:15]
many people in Contra Costa are
[3:31:16]
standing in food lines. It
[3:31:17]
it
[3:31:20]
s almost unfathomable. Um,
[3:31:20]
they
[3:31:21]
re standing in food lines
[3:31:21]
because they can
[3:31:22]
t meet their
[3:31:25]
basic needs. And until we can
[3:31:28]
fix this, really, um,
[3:31:30]
structural cost of living
[3:31:31]
issue, we have to
[3:31:33]
compassionately help our most
[3:31:35]
vulnerable residents. 25% of
[3:31:37]
children in Contra Costa
[3:31:39]
experience food insecurity.
[3:31:42]
Over half of the households in
[3:31:44]
California fall below the real
[3:31:48]
cost of living. Pgd costs up
[3:31:52]
25% since 2023. Food prices up
[3:31:55]
21%, providing families in need
[3:31:57]
with food across the county
[3:32:02]
will be a very. Barbara, can I
[3:32:04]
ask you a question? And I don
[3:32:06]
know if you have this answer
[3:32:08]
off the top of your head, but I
[3:32:10]
remember reading a report from
[3:32:12]
the food bank that said, with
[3:32:14]
this many dollars, they were
[3:32:17]
able to feed this many people.
[3:32:19]
Oh, you have that. Never mind.
[3:32:23]
No, but I would really love to
[3:32:25]
get that number because I think
[3:32:25]
it
[3:32:28]
s important for us to, to
[3:32:29]
hear. And then again, I
[3:32:29]
m going
[3:32:32]
to go back to this Cal Fresh
[3:32:34]
report that was on here. And
[3:32:37]
then I was so glad to hear from
[3:32:38]
you all because I was like,
[3:32:39]
well, I want to hear from this,
[3:32:41]
this group, this group. And
[3:32:41]
they
[3:32:41]
re like, yeah, that
[3:32:42]
s all
[3:32:43]
of them. So I appreciate you
[3:32:45]
all working together to do
[3:32:47]
that. Do you want to answer the
[3:32:49]
question or do you, David?
[3:32:52]
Okay, go. David I would say for
[3:32:53]
the $250,000, that
[3:32:54]
s it that
[3:32:54]
you
[3:32:56]
re going to. Potentially
[3:32:58]
earmark to do a study that
[3:33:00]
would equate to in frozen
[3:33:01]
complete meals from Meals on
[3:33:03]
Wheels would be about 50,000
[3:33:04]
meals and from the food bank. I
[3:33:05]
don
[3:33:05]
t want to speak on behalf
[3:33:07]
of Caitlyn, but it
[3:33:08]
s probably
[3:33:10]
somewhere around 84,000 meals
[3:33:14]
at about $3 per meal, just for
[3:33:16]
the $250,000 that would be
[3:33:17]
spent on doing a. Can you say
[3:33:20]
that one more time for 250,000.
[3:33:22]
Would be about 83,000 meals?
[3:33:23]
And like, again, I don
[3:33:23]
t want
[3:33:24]
to speak on behalf of the food
[3:33:26]
bank. I believe that Caitlyn
[3:33:27]
will be coming on zoom in a
[3:33:28]
second. She might be able to
[3:33:29]
change that number. Okay. But
[3:33:30]
when it comes to the cost of
[3:33:32]
meals that meals, Meals on
[3:33:34]
Wheels provides us on average
[3:33:35]
about $5, it
[3:33:36]
s easy math,
[3:33:38]
50,000 meals could go towards
[3:33:41]
the hunger that we have in the
[3:33:41]
county. So that
[3:33:42]
s Meals on
[3:33:43]
Wheels. And then the food bank
[3:33:45]
has a number two. I think. I
[3:33:46]
was referring to the food bank
[3:33:48]
at $3. I mean, I think $3, but
[3:33:49]
ll let Caitlyn speak to that
[3:33:52]
when she comes on. Okay. Do
[3:33:53]
your your comments. I am here
[3:33:56]
to support the the
[3:33:57]
collaborative. I want to talk
[3:33:59]
about the intention, the
[3:34:01]
intended way we go about our
[3:34:01]
work. We
[3:34:02]
ve been doing our own
[3:34:04]
needs assessment. I don
[3:34:04]
t want
[3:34:05]
to talk about that. Needs
[3:34:07]
assessment real quick. Uh, we
[3:34:09]
are doing a needs assessment
[3:34:09]
based on what
[3:34:10]
s called a heat
[3:34:12]
map. We have a heat map that
[3:34:14]
provides where there
[3:34:15]
s a
[3:34:17]
potential for food insecurities
[3:34:17]
across the county. That
[3:34:20]
provided by Feeding America. We
[3:34:21]
have taken all of our
[3:34:22]
information where we
[3:34:22]
re doing
[3:34:24]
our work and laid them over the
[3:34:27]
top of that, and then we can
[3:34:28]
clearly see where there
[3:34:30]
additional holes in the county
[3:34:33]
that we have the hidden hunger.
[3:34:35]
We have communities that have a
[3:34:37]
lack of support, and we want to
[3:34:40]
use these funds to to go find
[3:34:42]
the hidden hunger to support
[3:34:45]
this counties. Um, um, citizens
[3:34:47]
that are gone are going without
[3:34:49]
food. And that
[3:34:50]
s all that I
[3:34:51]
have to say. That
[3:34:52]
s one more
[3:34:55]
question on that. Uh, 250,000
[3:34:56]
for 83,000. That
[3:34:58]
s 83,000 meals
[3:35:00]
just one time. Correct. That
[3:35:01]
a one time meal. Correct. And
[3:35:02]
so. That would be that would be
[3:35:04]
groceries provided to someone
[3:35:05]
who could compare their own.
[3:35:07]
Food and how many how how over
[3:35:09]
how much time would we be
[3:35:13]
serving? 83,000. Uh, that would
[3:35:14]
depend upon the number of
[3:35:16]
clients that were being served.
[3:35:18]
Okay. And I think for our work,
[3:35:19]
irregardless to this funding,
[3:35:20]
we
[3:35:21]
re we want to meet people
[3:35:22]
where they are, right? As part
[3:35:24]
of our collaborative. And we
[3:35:24]
ve
[3:35:25]
identified that there are some
[3:35:27]
gaps in services that we want
[3:35:29]
to we want to do some outreach
[3:35:31]
to those communities,
[3:35:32]
neighborhood streets, wherever
[3:35:32]
we
[3:35:33]
re seeing these holes, to
[3:35:35]
make sure that those folks are
[3:35:37]
getting what they need. The
[3:35:38]
basics, which is food. Thank
[3:35:42]
you. The next two speakers are
[3:35:44]
Gigi, followed by Kimberly.
[3:35:50]
Please come to the podiums.
[3:35:50]
Hello, I
[3:35:51]
m Gigi Crowder and I
[3:35:53]
a member of the Metrics Cab,
[3:35:53]
and it
[3:35:55]
s kind of difficult to
[3:35:56]
hear how the great work we
[3:35:57]
ve
[3:35:59]
done has kind of been minimized
[3:36:00]
a little bit. When we first
[3:36:01]
started with the cab, yes, it
[3:36:04]
was during Covid, and I
[3:36:07]
remember being on calls from 5
[3:36:10]
P.M. To 930 at night, taking in
[3:36:12]
community, um, calls from
[3:36:13]
individuals describing what the
[3:36:15]
needs were. I personally don
[3:36:17]
feel like we need to use any
[3:36:19]
dollars for a consultant. I
[3:36:19]
think that we
[3:36:20]
ve done a great
[3:36:22]
job and with the rba looking at
[3:36:23]
root causes, who
[3:36:24]
s harmed how
[3:36:26]
this county should be spending
[3:36:28]
those dollars, it
[3:36:28]
s really
[3:36:29]
important for us to understand
[3:36:30]
we
[3:36:31]
re in a different place now
[3:36:33]
than we were before. Miles Hall
[3:36:35]
had not been killed when we
[3:36:37]
first went out with the
[3:36:38]
initiative, but we pivoted and
[3:36:40]
now we have a mobile crisis
[3:36:42]
response team. The eight three
[3:36:43]
program, because you do need to
[3:36:45]
look at what the more immediate
[3:36:48]
need is. If you start looking
[3:36:50]
now at who is suffering most,
[3:36:52]
whether it be 0 to 5, whether
[3:36:54]
it be going hungry, whether it
[3:36:57]
be, um, being incarcerated
[3:36:59]
without the support they need,
[3:37:00]
mental health supports they
[3:37:02]
need, it falls down to
[3:37:03]
African-American males. So I
[3:37:05]
know that was one of the
[3:37:06]
recommendations that was lifted
[3:37:08]
up to be funded by the measure
[3:37:10]
x cab, because I believe in
[3:37:12]
looking at things from a public
[3:37:12]
health. Let
[3:37:14]
s solve the problem
[3:37:15]
using an upstream approach.
[3:37:16]
Then maybe we won
[3:37:17]
t have to
[3:37:20]
keep coming in here asking for,
[3:37:22]
um, reactive dollars because we
[3:37:24]
put ourselves in a position to
[3:37:26]
start building up the
[3:37:27]
communities that are most
[3:37:28]
harmed so that they don
[3:37:28]
t have
[3:37:32]
such a reliance on supports
[3:37:34]
from a group of people who seem
[3:37:37]
not to get it. Black males are
[3:37:38]
dying in this county faster
[3:37:40]
than any. They die earliest in
[3:37:42]
population, and so having a
[3:37:43]
consultant is not going to
[3:37:44]
solve that. But having
[3:37:46]
community needs lifted up by
[3:37:48]
the recognizing the most harm
[3:37:54]
will thank you. Sure. Um, sorry
[3:37:56]
to interrupt. Um, what is what
[3:37:58]
is our commitment? Uh. Excuse
[3:38:00]
me, what is our financial
[3:38:01]
commitment to the African
[3:38:05]
American Wellness Hub? It
[3:38:07]
$7.5 million, plus an
[3:38:09]
additional million and 80,000.
[3:38:10]
On top of that. And their time.
[3:38:12]
Money? One time? Yeah. One time.
[3:38:15]
All one time. Money. And is
[3:38:16]
there a isn
[3:38:17]
t there a committee
[3:38:20]
that kind of, um, determines
[3:38:22]
where to spread, you know, how
[3:38:25]
to disperse that money? There
[3:38:27]
have been, um, numerous
[3:38:28]
committees and forums related
[3:38:30]
to it in much of the work
[3:38:32]
currently runs through the
[3:38:34]
equity committee. Okay. And.
[3:38:37]
And has that been considered by
[3:38:39]
the, um, African American
[3:38:40]
wellness? I mean, this is a
[3:38:43]
health issue. This is all kinds
[3:38:44]
of things. So is that being
[3:38:48]
considered by that committee?
[3:38:51]
So $1 million of funds went out
[3:38:55]
last month to 13 organizations
[3:38:57]
in the community. Um, to look
[3:38:59]
at all different options. So,
[3:39:01]
um, not just black males, but
[3:39:03]
health and other things of
[3:39:04]
youth as well. Um, it
[3:39:05]
s still
[3:39:08]
not enough to do, um, a black
[3:39:10]
male type of program because
[3:39:12]
that million dollars was split
[3:39:16]
up between 13 groups. They
[3:39:17]
re
[3:39:19]
not able to access more money
[3:39:22]
out of that fund to to do this
[3:39:25]
or so. The 7.5 million wasn
[3:39:27]
touched. That was from the 1
[3:39:28]
million that was there already.
[3:39:31]
That went out to the 13
[3:39:32]
organizations. And so they did
[3:39:35]
consider this, and this did not
[3:39:38]
go up to the as far as the
[3:39:38]
priorities of what they
[3:39:38]
re.
[3:39:39]
Working right. Now. We
[3:39:39]
re
[3:39:41]
working through. So we got the
[3:39:43]
feasibility study back, um,
[3:39:46]
back in APRIL. And so now the
[3:39:48]
equity committee is working
[3:39:50]
through the 7.5 to create a
[3:39:52]
structure of what that looks
[3:39:53]
like. Yeah, it
[3:39:54]
s more of a
[3:39:54]
we
[3:39:55]
re working on the
[3:39:56]
implementation plan with the
[3:39:57]
Office of Racial Equity and
[3:40:00]
Social Justice in the sense of
[3:40:01]
but getting it
[3:40:02]
s very broad.
[3:40:02]
It
[3:40:03]
s not service specific in
[3:40:06]
the sense of, you know, African
[3:40:08]
American males or any aging or
[3:40:09]
anything else. It
[3:40:10]
s really
[3:40:11]
broad, you know, hitting the
[3:40:14]
health care, the economic
[3:40:15]
disparities, um, economic
[3:40:16]
opportunities, education
[3:40:17]
opportunities. It
[3:40:18]
s a big
[3:40:20]
umbrella. And then programming
[3:40:22]
specific is not gotten there
[3:40:24]
yet. And with what we
[3:40:24]
ve
[3:40:26]
already been given and the
[3:40:27]
operational plan and what we
[3:40:29]
know rolling out there would
[3:40:31]
not be funding, there would be
[3:40:34]
a takeaway out of that 7.5 to
[3:40:38]
target any specific population.
[3:40:39]
Can I add that I
[3:40:39]
ve gone to
[3:40:41]
some of the community meetings
[3:40:44]
on this? This funding is not is
[3:40:46]
not fully fund the sustainable
[3:40:47]
operations often to the future.
[3:40:50]
A lot of this is one time to
[3:40:52]
get to get a center and hub
[3:40:53]
started, because it
[3:40:53]
s not just
[3:40:56]
one hub in one city, but it
[3:40:56]
it
[3:40:57]
s it
[3:40:57]
s it
[3:40:58]
s satellites
[3:40:59]
around the county. Because the
[3:41:01]
African American population
[3:41:01]
isn
[3:41:02]
t all going to go to
[3:41:04]
Antioch to get services. Right.
[3:41:05]
They MAY be in Oakley or
[3:41:09]
Richmond or wherever. Rodeo. So
[3:41:09]
I it
[3:41:09]
s it
[3:41:10]
s I just want to be
[3:41:11]
clear that doesn
[3:41:12]
t solve the
[3:41:16]
need. No. Just trying to figure
[3:41:16]
out, since we
[3:41:17]
re talking about
[3:41:19]
having all these limited funds,
[3:41:21]
you know, there is this pool of
[3:41:22]
money. So I was trying to
[3:41:24]
figure out if it didn
[3:41:24]
t meet
[3:41:27]
those requirements of, um, or
[3:41:29]
of priorities, then I
[3:41:30]
m just
[3:41:32]
trying to figure out. So thank
[3:41:37]
you. Yes. Doctor Kimberly.
[3:41:38]
Payton, PRESIDENT. Of the. East
[3:41:41]
Contra. Costa County naacp. I
[3:41:44]
a little bit confused. Um,
[3:41:46]
African American males are an
[3:41:47]
endangered species in Contra
[3:41:49]
Costa County. They are one of
[3:41:52]
the most hardest hit
[3:41:55]
populations in this county. In
[3:41:57]
every perspective. Starting at
[3:41:58]
the elementary level, where
[3:41:59]
they
[3:42:00]
re now being expelled
[3:42:02]
before they can grow into men.
[3:42:03]
So I
[3:42:05]
m confused why we can
[3:42:09]
support a project that would
[3:42:11]
help lift them up. I
[3:42:12]
m also
[3:42:14]
really confused because even
[3:42:16]
the department, the finance
[3:42:17]
department making the
[3:42:19]
presentation, another county
[3:42:22]
led department not led by an
[3:42:24]
African American, of which the
[3:42:27]
county, by the admission of
[3:42:30]
most of you here, is not led by
[3:42:32]
African Americans. So where is
[3:42:33]
our voice? When are we going to
[3:42:36]
be heard? When is the Board of
[3:42:37]
Supes going to pay attention?
[3:42:39]
When are you going to take this
[3:42:40]
into consideration, and when
[3:42:43]
are you going to take it
[3:42:44]
seriously that we are also the
[3:42:46]
people making tax dollars to
[3:42:49]
make this possible as well?
[3:42:52]
Thank you. The next two
[3:42:54]
speakers are Roxanne, followed
[3:42:56]
by Mariana. Please come to the
[3:43:13]
podium. Good afternoon, chair
[3:43:15]
Anderson and board as the Mme.
[3:43:16]
Chair, I
[3:43:17]
d like to start my
[3:43:19]
comment by acknowledging the
[3:43:20]
intention of the Community
[3:43:21]
Advisory Board to be a space
[3:43:23]
where emerging and priority
[3:43:25]
issues impacting all Contra
[3:43:28]
Costa are heard, prioritized
[3:43:30]
and brought to this board at a
[3:43:31]
time when the state and federal
[3:43:33]
budget policies will likely
[3:43:34]
thrust our county
[3:43:35]
s most
[3:43:36]
vulnerable communities into
[3:43:37]
difficult times, it
[3:43:37]
s critical
[3:43:40]
that the Cab and the board work
[3:43:41]
together. Over the years, the
[3:43:43]
Cab has brought issues related
[3:43:44]
to community based mental
[3:43:47]
health services for the aapi,
[3:43:49]
lgbtq, and African American
[3:43:50]
populations, housing assistance
[3:43:52]
for unsheltered youth,
[3:43:53]
providing health care to the
[3:43:55]
most vulnerable, services for
[3:43:56]
seniors, and food security, to
[3:43:58]
name a few. I strongly
[3:44:00]
encourage the board to consider
[3:44:01]
funding the community and
[3:44:03]
department informed
[3:44:04]
recommendations as follows.
[3:44:07]
Early childhood and Family
[3:44:09]
Support Services as informed by
[3:44:10]
first five mental health
[3:44:12]
services for aapi and school
[3:44:15]
aged populations. Increase
[3:44:16]
innovation fund dollars for
[3:44:17]
programs specifically focused
[3:44:20]
on African American males.
[3:44:21]
Resources to address youth and
[3:44:23]
young adult homelessness, which
[3:44:24]
could include vouchers,
[3:44:26]
infrastructure investments, and
[3:44:28]
other strategies, and rental
[3:44:29]
assistance to support
[3:44:31]
households at risk of eviction
[3:44:33]
and housing insecurity. As
[3:44:35]
chair, I stand ready to work
[3:44:37]
with the board to ensure our
[3:44:39]
role is as a cab is rigorous
[3:44:41]
and prioritizes the growing set
[3:44:43]
of issues impacting Contra
[3:44:44]
Costa. I look forward to
[3:44:46]
building a greater alignment
[3:44:48]
between the Cab ceo and the
[3:44:50]
board. The Cab is an important
[3:44:51]
conduit for public input and
[3:44:53]
well positioned to offer
[3:44:54]
informed, data driven and
[3:44:56]
resident centered
[3:44:57]
recommendations for the
[3:45:00]
allocation and evaluation of mm
[3:45:01]
dollars. The Cab has been
[3:45:03]
working to learn about other
[3:45:05]
Bay area counties and utilizing
[3:45:07]
our va to focus on changing the
[3:45:09]
curve, not just counting
[3:45:10]
services. This would be
[3:45:12]
synergistic with the work of.
[3:45:22]
The. Good afternoon. My name is
[3:45:23]
Mariana Moore. With the
[3:45:25]
Ensuring Opportunity Campaign
[3:45:26]
to End Poverty and Contra
[3:45:27]
Costa. I want to start by
[3:45:29]
noting and taking a moment that
[3:45:31]
Ice is at our county
[3:45:32]
courthouse. The immigration
[3:45:34]
court rather tearing apart
[3:45:35]
families as we speak. My heart
[3:45:37]
is very heavy and it just
[3:45:38]
shows. I mean, I came and said
[3:45:41]
to you in JANUARY at the board
[3:45:42]
retreat, we cannot do business
[3:45:44]
as usual. So families are
[3:45:45]
suffering today and the
[3:45:47]
families that are calling in to
[3:45:48]
talk to you today are also
[3:45:50]
suffering. So please bring your
[3:45:53]
hearts into this work. Um, I
[3:45:54]
want to strongly and again
[3:45:56]
fully support the next
[3:45:57]
recommendations. All of them
[3:45:59]
that Roxanne just read. Um, I
[3:46:01]
also want to note that the
[3:46:03]
support and appreciation for
[3:46:04]
Supervisor Gioia, for his
[3:46:06]
creative and innovative plan to
[3:46:07]
work with different county
[3:46:09]
departments to, you know,
[3:46:10]
actualize and implement the
[3:46:11]
recommendations. So thank you.
[3:46:12]
Supervisor Gioia, very much.
[3:46:14]
d like to note that the
[3:46:15]
rental assistance I support,
[3:46:16]
the Raise the Roof Coalition
[3:46:18]
request to increase the total
[3:46:20]
amount to 3 million, with the
[3:46:21]
rest coming from Arpa. And
[3:46:21]
that
[3:46:22]
s the next item. I
[3:46:22]
ll
[3:46:24]
speak on it then. I also want
[3:46:26]
to note, and I am disappointed,
[3:46:27]
but not surprised, that the
[3:46:29]
county administrator and Chair
[3:46:30]
Anderson brought this proposal
[3:46:32]
to the board around the needs
[3:46:34]
assessment. The evaluation with
[3:46:36]
absolutely no materials in the
[3:46:39]
board packet. That is not good
[3:46:42]
process. That is not good
[3:46:43]
transparency. The first time I
[3:46:44]
heard about this was sitting in
[3:46:46]
the audience trying to
[3:46:48]
formulate my reaction to my
[3:46:50]
response. As I say to you
[3:46:52]
often, please do better. We
[3:46:54]
deserve better. That measure x
[3:46:55]
Community Advisory Board just
[3:46:56]
gives our hearts and our souls
[3:46:58]
and our hours deserve better,
[3:47:00]
as does the public. I also want
[3:47:02]
to note that a consultant was
[3:47:04]
hired early on in the process.
[3:47:05]
Some of you will remember some
[3:47:07]
of you supervisors skills.
[3:47:08]
PRESIDENT Carlson were not
[3:47:10]
there then. That person,
[3:47:12]
Rebecca Brown, came in and did
[3:47:14]
a very thorough assessment, and
[3:47:15]
then she was blacklisted
[3:47:16]
because the outcome was not
[3:47:17]
what the county administrator
[3:47:19]
wanted to hear. And a report
[3:47:21]
was suppressed. Know your
[3:47:26]
history. The next speaker is
[3:47:27]
Devin. Please come to the
[3:47:35]
podium. Hello, everyone. Good
[3:47:36]
evening. Good morning, good
[3:47:37]
afternoon. Whatever day it is.
[3:47:39]
Uh, my name is Devin Williams.
[3:47:41]
Part of the endangered species
[3:47:43]
of black males in this county.
[3:47:45]
Um, I just wanted to say I
[3:47:45]
don
[3:47:46]
t think that we should
[3:47:49]
waste money on a consultant. I
[3:47:49]
didn
[3:47:50]
t vote for a consultant. I
[3:47:51]
voted for y
[3:47:51]
all to work with
[3:47:53]
the community to do the work.
[3:47:56]
Right. Um, and that
[3:47:56]
s not me
[3:47:57]
being smart. I just. I really
[3:47:59]
just feel that way. Um, but I
[3:48:00]
do think that, um, we should
[3:48:02]
use these funds for safety net
[3:48:05]
programs, um, to uplift, um,
[3:48:07]
our community in issues like
[3:48:08]
homelessness, evictions and
[3:48:10]
mental health services and to,
[3:48:11]
of course, uplift the voice of
[3:48:13]
the black male. As Gigi spoke
[3:48:15]
of earlier. And if we look at
[3:48:17]
some of the data that, um, from
[3:48:19]
the 94509 zip code in the city
[3:48:21]
where I live, Antioch, which
[3:48:23]
falls in district three,
[3:48:24]
housing insecurity is hitting
[3:48:26]
hard. Over the last two years,
[3:48:27]
540 applicants to keep people
[3:48:30]
housed came from 900 405 alone.
[3:48:31]
That
[3:48:32]
s 90% of applicants, even
[3:48:34]
though only 7% of Contra Costa
[3:48:37]
renters live there. 94509 is
[3:48:38]
prioritized area for rental
[3:48:40]
assistance. Because the need is
[3:48:41]
so great, and it should be
[3:48:43]
because when I was doing
[3:48:44]
advocacy over there, it was a
[3:48:45]
lot of people, black and brown
[3:48:46]
communities, getting eviction
[3:48:47]
notices, rent increases that
[3:48:49]
were putting them on the brink
[3:48:50]
of homelessness. And because
[3:48:52]
the city of Antioch acted, a
[3:48:53]
lot of those tenants were
[3:48:57]
saved. Um, I lost my train of
[3:48:59]
thought. So the assistance is
[3:49:00]
working. But it might must be
[3:49:04]
expanded. Nearly 60% of people,
[3:49:06]
um, keep people housed.
[3:49:07]
Applicants identified as black
[3:49:09]
and 76 were identified as black
[3:49:12]
women. And black women have the
[3:49:14]
highest rate of eviction and
[3:49:15]
housing insecurity. And so you
[3:49:17]
just know that trickles down to
[3:49:18]
the black and brown, the black
[3:49:20]
men and the black young girls.
[3:49:21]
And then same thing with our
[3:49:23]
brown community as well. And we
[3:49:24]
should be putting the 3.8
[3:49:26]
million into these programs.
[3:49:28]
But also I definitely would
[3:49:29]
like to see other programs that
[3:49:31]
were spoken of today uplifted
[3:49:33]
as well. Thank you all very
[3:49:37]
much. I hope. You. We can now
[3:49:40]
go to our zoom participants.
[3:49:42]
The next speaker is Rachel.
[3:49:47]
Please unmute. Hello. As Vice
[3:49:48]
chair of the Measure x
[3:49:50]
Community Advisory Board, I can
[3:49:52]
affirm our collective
[3:49:55]
commitment to inclusion, equity,
[3:49:56]
compassionate action. Our board
[3:49:57]
is deeply connected to
[3:49:59]
different communities and
[3:50:01]
deeply aware that our
[3:50:02]
experiences, relationships, and
[3:50:04]
perspectives are limited. This
[3:50:06]
is why we proactively seek
[3:50:07]
public input, take
[3:50:09]
responsibility to educate
[3:50:10]
ourselves and each other on
[3:50:11]
community issues and county
[3:50:13]
developments, and engage in
[3:50:14]
consistent and transparent
[3:50:16]
roundtable discussion. The
[3:50:18]
mixed cap is thus well
[3:50:19]
positioned to offer informed
[3:50:21]
recommendations firmly grounded
[3:50:23]
in community members lived
[3:50:24]
experiences and the county
[3:50:26]
own data, which widely document
[3:50:28]
the racial, economic and
[3:50:30]
geographic disparities and
[3:50:31]
barriers that jeopardize the
[3:50:33]
well-being of many residents.
[3:50:36]
Our priorities are one early
[3:50:38]
childhood and family support.
[3:50:39]
To enhance the county
[3:50:41]
preventative strategies and
[3:50:42]
provide more proportionate
[3:50:43]
investment to a named
[3:50:45]
population on the measure x
[3:50:47]
ballot, two programs for
[3:50:48]
African American males to
[3:50:50]
prioritize those most harmed
[3:50:52]
and vulnerable to harms. Three
[3:50:53]
mental health services for
[3:50:55]
Asian Americans and Pacif
[3:50:56]
Islanders, and school aged
[3:50:58]
youth to Rightsize our response
[3:50:59]
to the youth mental health
[3:51:02]
crisis and redress the
[3:51:03]
disproportionality of the most
[3:51:04]
recent mass allocation, where
[3:51:06]
school aged youth received the
[3:51:10]
smallest amount at $100,000 for
[3:51:11]
resources to address the dearth
[3:51:13]
of support for youth and young
[3:51:14]
adults facing housing and
[3:51:16]
economic insecurity, and five
[3:51:17]
rental assistance to help
[3:51:19]
prevent homelessness and keep
[3:51:21]
families together. I thank
[3:51:22]
Supervisor Gioia for
[3:51:23]
collaborating with departments
[3:51:25]
to shape our recommendations
[3:51:27]
into actionable initiatives and
[3:51:28]
investments at a critical time
[3:51:30]
for our most vulnerable
[3:51:31]
residents. I hope the board
[3:51:33]
will support his efforts to
[3:51:35]
ensure a more thriving,
[3:51:36]
welcoming and equitable county.
[3:51:40]
Thank you. The next speaker is
[3:51:46]
Mark. Please unmute. Hi. Good
[3:51:47]
afternoon. Mark Schalit. I
[3:51:50]
with the uh Hope conference,
[3:51:52]
uh, subset of Saint Vincent. De
[3:51:54]
Paul. And I. Just wanted to put
[3:51:57]
in a. Plug for. Uh. Uh. Funding
[3:51:59]
that. We might be able to.
[3:52:01]
Assist additional families. We
[3:52:04]
have a very high. Success rate.
[3:52:06]
Of being. Able to address. One
[3:52:09]
time. Unique crises. Uh, and.
[3:52:09]
We
[3:52:13]
re on. Schedule to. Serve
[3:52:16]
144. Neighbors households.
[3:52:18]
Within Contra Costa County to
[3:52:20]
prevent, uh, homelessness. Uh,
[3:52:24]
as we. Provide rent assistance
[3:52:27]
and. Um. Uh, pge support. When
[3:52:29]
they. Turn off their, their
[3:52:32]
power. And. Electric. But, uh,
[3:52:33]
for our current budget, which
[3:52:35]
does not include. Any. Measure
[3:52:38]
x funding, uh, we
[3:52:39]
re, uh,
[3:52:42]
utilizing about $250,000 to
[3:52:45]
accomplish that, which, um,
[3:52:46]
when it turned, when you look
[3:52:49]
at. The numbers. The 144
[3:52:52]
households. Is about 340, uh,
[3:52:55]
people, uh, residents of Contra
[3:52:57]
Costa, which is, uh, about 12%
[3:53:00]
of the existing homeless rate
[3:53:02]
in Contra Costa. So it is, uh,
[3:53:05]
small but mighty in its impact.
[3:53:08]
And we do a very. Good job. Of
[3:53:10]
measuring, um, outcome success.
[3:53:12]
And have. Uh, the metrics to
[3:53:14]
support it. So I just wanted to
[3:53:17]
put in. That plug. For the Hope
[3:53:20]
conference. Thank you. The next
[3:53:22]
speaker is Mihaela. Please
[3:53:29]
unmute. Good morning
[3:53:31]
supervisors. My name is Mihaela
[3:53:33]
Goff. I am the managing
[3:53:35]
attorney. With Centro. De la.
[3:53:36]
Rosa Tenants. Rights Practice
[3:53:38]
here in Contra. Costa County.
[3:53:40]
m here today. To urge you. To
[3:53:42]
allocate. Any remaining. Any
[3:53:44]
remaining. Measure funds.
[3:53:45]
Towards rental assistance.
[3:53:47]
Every day, I see firsthand how
[3:53:50]
critical the support is. Rental
[3:53:51]
assistance is not only our most
[3:53:53]
effective tool to prevent
[3:53:55]
homelessness, it benefits all
[3:53:56]
parties. It keeps families
[3:53:58]
housed and the community
[3:53:59]
stable. But at the same time,
[3:54:01]
it ensures that landlords are
[3:54:03]
made full, avoiding vacancies,
[3:54:05]
lost income and other high
[3:54:08]
costs of turnover. It is also
[3:54:10]
cost effective for the county.
[3:54:12]
We know from your own data that
[3:54:14]
more than 86% of residents who
[3:54:16]
receive rental assistance are
[3:54:18]
able to maintain housing. In
[3:54:20]
contrast, once a family loses
[3:54:22]
their housing, the costs
[3:54:24]
multiply. As we struggle to
[3:54:25]
stabilize them through
[3:54:28]
emergency services and shelter.
[3:54:30]
Um, in this political climate,
[3:54:31]
where vulnerable tenants are
[3:54:33]
facing increasing threats, it
[3:54:35]
is critical. It is critical
[3:54:36]
that this investment be made in
[3:54:39]
this in community stability and
[3:54:41]
fiscal responsibility. And
[3:54:42]
before you are many great ways
[3:54:43]
you can find the community. So
[3:54:43]
let
[3:54:45]
s use any funding to help
[3:54:47]
our community in Contra Costa
[3:54:48]
County. Thank you for your
[3:54:52]
leadership and your time. The
[3:54:53]
next speaker is Jeanette.
[3:54:59]
Please unmute. Good afternoon
[3:55:00]
supervisors. My name is.
[3:55:01]
Jeanette Kennedy, and I
[3:55:02]
m the
[3:55:03]
executive. Director of
[3:55:04]
development. And external
[3:55:06]
relations with Loaves. And
[3:55:07]
Fishes. Of Contra Costa. And I.
[3:55:09]
Also represent the food
[3:55:10]
Security. Collaborative of
[3:55:12]
Contra Costa County. I
[3:55:12]
m here
[3:55:14]
today to raise. Urgent concern
[3:55:16]
for our residents facing food
[3:55:17]
insecurity. Based on the
[3:55:18]
proposed. Federal and state
[3:55:20]
budget cuts, which will
[3:55:22]
severely impact food insecurity
[3:55:24]
in our county, these programs
[3:55:25]
are often the first line of
[3:55:27]
defense for low income
[3:55:28]
families. When they
[3:55:29]
re cut, the
[3:55:30]
pressure shifts directly to
[3:55:31]
nonprofits like ours and our
[3:55:33]
partners across the food
[3:55:35]
ecosystem. We are already
[3:55:37]
serving thousands of meals a
[3:55:39]
day, and we have first. And we
[3:55:40]
know firsthand when benefits
[3:55:43]
drop. Demand for our services
[3:55:46]
spikes even overnight. At the
[3:55:47]
same time, these same cuts
[3:55:49]
threaten the very funding and
[3:55:51]
food supplies that allow us to
[3:55:53]
meet that growing demand. We
[3:55:53]
re
[3:55:55]
bracing for a perfect storm
[3:55:56]
more people in need, but fewer
[3:55:58]
resources to serve them. The
[3:56:01]
people impacted our seniors,
[3:56:03]
families with young children,
[3:56:05]
disabled adults and low wage
[3:56:07]
workers who simply cannot make
[3:56:10]
ends meet in this region
[3:56:11]
directly. Loaves and Fishes of
[3:56:13]
Contra Costa is struggling with
[3:56:16]
less food from fema and fat
[3:56:16]
distributions, which are now
[3:56:19]
costing us money to replace
[3:56:21]
this increase represents more
[3:56:23]
than half of our annual food
[3:56:25]
budget. I urge you all to
[3:56:28]
seriously consider providing
[3:56:30]
money from measure x one time
[3:56:33]
funds to provide more food to
[3:56:34]
our community through the Food
[3:56:36]
Security Collaborative of
[3:56:38]
Contra Costa County, which has
[3:56:40]
already been allocated funds
[3:56:41]
and is in a very strong
[3:56:44]
position to get support and
[3:56:46]
food out quickly to the
[3:56:48]
community. I do not support
[3:56:50]
spending $250,000 for a
[3:56:51]
consultant, which is the
[3:56:54]
equivalent of 90,000 hot meals.
[3:56:58]
Thank you. The next speaker is
[3:57:03]
Joey. Please unmute. Hi, my
[3:57:04]
name is Joey Love. I
[3:57:05]
m here on
[3:57:07]
behalf of East Bay Housing
[3:57:08]
Organizations, uh, and also a
[3:57:10]
member of the Raise the Roof
[3:57:12]
Coalition. Uh, I want to echo
[3:57:14]
what Mariana brought up about
[3:57:16]
the fact that these Ice raids
[3:57:17]
are happening in our community
[3:57:19]
right now and, and further say
[3:57:21]
that what that means is it
[3:57:22]
getting harder and harder for
[3:57:26]
us to hear directly from large
[3:57:28]
groups of our community. Uh, it
[3:57:28]
is we
[3:57:30]
ve seen, you know, in
[3:57:32]
many ways that it is not
[3:57:33]
feeling safe for many members
[3:57:35]
of our community to come to
[3:57:36]
public meetings right now. And
[3:57:38]
what that means is that we need
[3:57:41]
to be working overtime to make
[3:57:42]
sure we are listening to the
[3:57:44]
needs of our community. And the
[3:57:45]
measure x Community Advisory
[3:57:46]
Board was set up to do just
[3:57:48]
that was to facilitate a
[3:57:50]
hearing from our community
[3:57:51]
members and getting that
[3:57:53]
feedback in front of you at the
[3:57:54]
the Board of Supervisors. So,
[3:57:56]
you know, we at East Bay
[3:57:57]
housing organizations want to
[3:57:59]
lift up the recommendations of
[3:58:01]
the measure x Community
[3:58:03]
Advisory Board and lift up
[3:58:06]
their work and their approach.
[3:58:07]
Uh, and, uh, and, yeah, and as,
[3:58:10]
as has been lifted up in our
[3:58:11]
raised roof letter, we
[3:58:13]
specifically want to lift up
[3:58:15]
the need for rental assistance
[3:58:18]
at this time. And, uh, there
[3:58:18]
there
[3:58:20]
s a very human side of
[3:58:20]
that. And there
[3:58:21]
s also the
[3:58:25]
financial side of it is
[3:58:26]
incredibly smart for the county
[3:58:28]
to invest in keeping people
[3:58:30]
housed. We spend so much more
[3:58:33]
money if we allow people to
[3:58:34]
fall into homelessness, on
[3:58:36]
health care, on social
[3:58:40]
services, um, on trying to on
[3:58:41]
transitional housing, which is
[3:58:43]
more expensive than the housing
[3:58:44]
people are already in. So
[3:58:44]
that
[3:58:45]
s the financial side. And
[3:58:45]
there
[3:58:47]
s the human cost of
[3:58:48]
allowing people to experience
[3:58:49]
the pain and the trauma and
[3:58:51]
suffering of of not having a
[3:58:53]
place, a safe and stable place
[3:58:55]
to call home. So we really
[3:58:57]
strongly, uh, urge you to
[3:58:58]
support the rental assistance
[3:59:01]
at this time. Thank you. The
[3:59:04]
next speaker is caller 1535.
[3:59:12]
Please unmute. Hello. Can you.
[3:59:14]
All hear me? Yes, we can.
[3:59:16]
Please go ahead. Okay. Thank
[3:59:17]
you. My name is Cameron. And
[3:59:19]
on. Behalf of Assemblywoman
[3:59:20]
Anna Maria Villa Frias, I want
[3:59:21]
to express our strong. Support
[3:59:23]
for the immediate and equitable
[3:59:24]
distribution of measure x
[3:59:26]
funds. Across Contra Costa
[3:59:28]
County. Measure x represents
[3:59:29]
the will of the people and
[3:59:31]
investment in the future of our
[3:59:32]
communities through dedicated
[3:59:33]
funding for vital services that
[3:59:36]
reflect our shared priorities.
[3:59:37]
Assembly member of Frias has
[3:59:39]
had steadfast advocates, is a
[3:59:41]
steadfast advocate for public
[3:59:43]
safety, education and housing.
[3:59:45]
Three pillars of just and
[3:59:47]
thriving community. The measure
[3:59:49]
x allocations directly aligned
[3:59:51]
with her legislative and policy
[3:59:52]
goals to expand access to
[3:59:54]
affordable housing, strengthen
[3:59:56]
neighborhood safety and ensure
[3:59:57]
education opportunity for every
[3:59:59]
child in Contra Costa County.
[4:00:00]
We urge county leadership to
[4:00:02]
act without delay. These funds
[4:00:04]
are not just budgetary items,
[4:00:05]
they are lifelines for
[4:00:07]
families, tools for stability,
[4:00:08]
and instruments of equity.
[4:00:09]
Whether it
[4:00:10]
s helping keep our
[4:00:11]
neighborhood safe, increasing
[4:00:13]
mental health and youth
[4:00:14]
programs in our schools, or
[4:00:16]
expanding services that prevent
[4:00:17]
displacement and homelessness,
[4:00:19]
measure x is a critical
[4:00:20]
resource for the people we
[4:00:22]
serve. Assemblymember Frias
[4:00:23]
remains committed to working
[4:00:25]
with the county leaders and the
[4:00:27]
community to ensure measure x
[4:00:29]
continues to be a vehicle for
[4:00:31]
progress, justice, and care for
[4:00:34]
all. Contra Costa, thank you.
[4:00:36]
The next speaker is Juno.
[4:00:44]
Please unmute. Hello. Um..
[4:00:45]
Good afternoon supervisors. My
[4:00:47]
name is Juno Hedrick and I am
[4:00:47]
the Youth Action Board
[4:00:49]
coordinator, as well as vice
[4:00:50]
chair and lived Experience
[4:00:52]
advisor of the Council on
[4:00:52]
Homelessness. I
[4:00:53]
m speaking
[4:00:54]
today on my own behalf from my
[4:00:55]
lived experience with
[4:00:57]
homelessness here in Contra
[4:00:58]
Costa County, youth and young
[4:00:59]
adults are one of the most
[4:01:01]
vulnerable and underserved
[4:01:02]
populations in the county. And
[4:01:03]
unfortunately, too many of
[4:01:05]
those young people experiencing
[4:01:06]
experienced housing insecurity
[4:01:08]
or homelessness. The data from
[4:01:09]
the Youth and Young Adult Needs
[4:01:10]
assessment is alarming,
[4:01:11]
especially when considering
[4:01:13]
data surrounding homeless or
[4:01:15]
housing insecure lgbtq youth.
[4:01:17]
Young people who are Bipoc, and
[4:01:18]
our capacity to serve those
[4:01:20]
vulnerable populations. Contra
[4:01:22]
Costa counted 11% of homeless,
[4:01:24]
uh, homeless or housing secure
[4:01:26]
youth as lgbtq, which I believe
[4:01:28]
is a massive undercount. And
[4:01:29]
this is a belief backed by
[4:01:32]
national data, which shows 20%
[4:01:35]
to 40%. Additionally, 71 to 73%
[4:01:36]
of housing insecure youth are
[4:01:39]
Bipoc, with 48% identifying as
[4:01:40]
black. Many of the youth that
[4:01:41]
experiencing housing insecurity
[4:01:43]
are also attempting to complete
[4:01:46]
their schooling. Approximately
[4:01:47]
3376 students were identified
[4:01:49]
as experiencing homelessness,
[4:01:51]
which is an 82% increase over
[4:01:54]
the 2022 2023 school year.
[4:01:56]
These figures are just a few
[4:01:58]
floor estimates. In reality,
[4:01:59]
there are more young people in
[4:02:00]
our county that are struggling
[4:02:01]
with housing insecurity than we
[4:02:03]
can actually track. I would ask
[4:02:04]
that the board stays committed
[4:02:06]
to funding and supporting
[4:02:08]
countywide lgbtq, plus youth
[4:02:10]
and young adult spaces with
[4:02:12]
measure x one time funds as
[4:02:13]
identified in the Youth and
[4:02:14]
Young Adult strategic Plan,
[4:02:16]
with consideration towards
[4:02:17]
working with organizations like
[4:02:19]
Rainbow Center, the primary
[4:02:22]
countywide lgbtq plus youth and
[4:02:25]
youngdult resource for uh,
[4:02:26]
for for our youth to uplift
[4:02:28]
their efforts, identify or
[4:02:30]
cultivate additional lgbtq
[4:02:31]
focused organizations, and
[4:02:33]
increase the capacity of all
[4:02:34]
providers to help youth and
[4:02:35]
young adults thrive. As
[4:02:36]
explained in the Strategic
[4:02:39]
Plan. Thank you. The next
[4:02:43]
speaker is Teddy. Please unmute.
[4:02:47]
Hello. My name is. Teddy and. I
[4:02:51]
am. A member. But today. I am
[4:02:54]
speaking. On behalf. Of myself.
[4:02:58]
I am. Lgbtq. Disabled and
[4:02:59]
survived domestic abuse and.
[4:03:03]
Systematic discrimination. I
[4:03:05]
have lived experience with
[4:03:06]
homelessness and the system is
[4:03:09]
not exactly preventing it. The
[4:03:11]
last pit count has estimated
[4:03:15]
around 14 k of the homeless
[4:03:17]
population is Ja youth and
[4:03:21]
young adults, and I knew ahead
[4:03:23]
of time that I was going to be
[4:03:26]
homeless. But every time I
[4:03:28]
reached out for help, people
[4:03:30]
ignored my applications or said
[4:03:30]
I wasn
[4:03:39]
t disabled enough.
[4:03:42]
Please consider assisting the
[4:03:43]
youth and you adults.
[4:03:46]
Homelessness community because
[4:03:49]
they are drastically
[4:03:51]
underfunded, underfunded,
[4:03:59]
understaffed and overworked.
[4:04:01]
That is all. Thank you for your
[4:04:04]
time. The next speaker is
[4:04:14]
Caitlin. Please unmute. Hi,
[4:04:16]
this is. Caitlin Sly. I
[4:04:17]
m the.
[4:04:18]
PRESIDENT And ceo. Of the. Food
[4:04:20]
Bank of. Contra Costa and
[4:04:23]
Solano, and, um, I wanted. To
[4:04:26]
chime. In and contribute to the
[4:04:27]
discussion around food
[4:04:30]
insecurity. Um, as David and
[4:04:32]
and Jeanette. And others have
[4:04:35]
shared nonprofits that serve.
[4:04:36]
Food to. The low income.
[4:04:38]
Community are. Struggling right
[4:04:40]
now. We have already our
[4:04:42]
organization alone has already
[4:04:44]
seen $2 million. In cuts, and
[4:04:44]
we
[4:04:46]
re. Facing future cuts that
[4:04:49]
is now being proposed. Um, at
[4:04:51]
the the. House and Senate
[4:04:53]
level, on the federal level to
[4:04:55]
cut snap, which we know is
[4:04:57]
going to have a huge effect on
[4:04:58]
the people we serve and
[4:05:01]
increase need. Um, right now we
[4:05:05]
are facing a crisis like Covid,
[4:05:07]
except for the fact that during
[4:05:10]
Covid, the federal, state and
[4:05:11]
local county governments came
[4:05:14]
to help. You all have helped
[4:05:16]
us. We are so grateful for what
[4:05:18]
you have allocated already to
[4:05:21]
food insecurity, and the need
[4:05:23]
is growing and going to be even
[4:05:26]
more right now. Our federal and
[4:05:27]
state governments are
[4:05:28]
contributing to the crisis and
[4:05:30]
you all have an opportunity to
[4:05:33]
be help, be the solution. Um,
[4:05:35]
every day we have seniors,
[4:05:36]
children, people with
[4:05:38]
disabilities and our immigrant
[4:05:39]
communities that are reasonably
[4:05:42]
terrified. Right now. The Food
[4:05:43]
Insecurity Collaborative of
[4:05:44]
Contra Costa County
[4:05:46]
collectively serves over
[4:05:48]
600,000 individuals and,
[4:05:50]
Supervisor Burgess, you are
[4:05:51]
asking for for that number and
[4:05:52]
for the food bank, it
[4:05:53]
s for
[4:05:54]
every dollar we can distribute
[4:05:56]
two meals. Um, I know that is a
[4:05:58]
different number for every
[4:05:58]
organization. And that
[4:05:59]
s not to
[4:06:00]
say it
[4:06:02]
s different, because hot
[4:06:04]
food is sometimes more
[4:06:06]
difficult to, um, distribute
[4:06:08]
than than groceries. So one is
[4:06:10]
not necessarily better than the
[4:06:13]
other. Thank you for your time.
[4:06:15]
The next speaker is Chantel.
[4:06:17]
Please unmute. Thank you so
[4:06:18]
much. Uh, my name is Pastor
[4:06:20]
Chantel Owens. I
[4:06:21]
m from Genesis
[4:06:22]
Church. Um, and I do want to
[4:06:23]
weigh in on the food
[4:06:24]
insecurity, but I also want to
[4:06:27]
tap into, um, backing up what
[4:06:29]
Gigi Crowder had shared. And,
[4:06:30]
um, Supervisor Diane had a
[4:06:32]
comment regarding the
[4:06:34]
African-American, um, holistic,
[4:06:36]
um, wellness hub and the the
[4:06:37]
money that distributed. I
[4:06:37]
sorry. I
[4:06:38]
m kind of frustrated
[4:06:39]
right now. My words are getting
[4:06:40]
fumbled, but we received, um,
[4:06:42]
our organization was allocated
[4:06:45]
to actually help with the food
[4:06:46]
insecurity. Um, Genesis has
[4:06:48]
been feeding um, individuals in
[4:06:50]
the 94509 for the last ten
[4:06:52]
years, um, through the African
[4:06:53]
American Holistic Wellness hub,
[4:06:55]
um, money that was already
[4:06:56]
allocated through the million
[4:06:58]
dollars. It was micro granted
[4:07:00]
out of the $50,000 that we were
[4:07:02]
allocated to feed, um, those
[4:07:04]
who are insecure, $20,000 of
[4:07:07]
that is also being has to be
[4:07:08]
used to help educate those
[4:07:09]
people, to try to help them
[4:07:11]
stay housed. Um, so one
[4:07:12]
allocation of 50,000 is
[4:07:14]
supposed to help with housing
[4:07:16]
as well as food insecurity. We
[4:07:18]
feed right now over 4000 people
[4:07:20]
a month. Um, at Genesis Church,
[4:07:20]
although we
[4:07:21]
re not Meals on
[4:07:22]
Wheels, there are so many
[4:07:24]
people that are depending on us
[4:07:25]
and that number is growing.
[4:07:26]
Every single week we
[4:07:27]
re seeing
[4:07:28]
more and more families, more
[4:07:29]
and more individuals who are
[4:07:30]
hungry and having to choose
[4:07:32]
between rent and food or gas
[4:07:33]
and food, children who are
[4:07:35]
hungry, children who are now
[4:07:36]
home for the summer. And so,
[4:07:38]
no, I am totally against
[4:07:41]
spending $250,000, um, to
[4:07:42]
receive data that we could
[4:07:44]
receive from or from different
[4:07:46]
departments. Um, we need that
[4:07:48]
money in our community. We need
[4:07:51]
it now. Um, and so again, I
[4:07:52]
just want to say that the money
[4:07:54]
has been distributed. It was
[4:07:56]
granted and the need is growing
[4:07:57]
in our not only our
[4:07:58]
African-American community, but
[4:08:00]
in our county. Thank you so
[4:08:01]
much. Chantal. Don
[4:08:01]
t leave.
[4:08:01]
Don
[4:08:02]
t leave. I want to ask you
[4:08:03]
a question. Do you? Are you
[4:08:04]
still there? I
[4:08:05]
m here. Oh,
[4:08:07]
good. I was worried you were
[4:08:09]
going to get disconnected. No,
[4:08:12]
you said you feed 4000 people a
[4:08:14]
month. Yeah, a little over.
[4:08:14]
Yes, ma
[4:08:16]
am. And how. Much and
[4:08:18]
how much does that cost you?
[4:08:21]
And is. So right now we have,
[4:08:21]
um, we
[4:08:22]
ve been partnering with
[4:08:23]
the food bank and as well as
[4:08:26]
the fat program, and those have
[4:08:28]
been reduced. And so, um, out
[4:08:29]
of our pockets right now, we
[4:08:29]
re
[4:08:31]
spending anywhere between 4 to
[4:08:33]
$5000 a month in order to
[4:08:34]
supplement and feed these
[4:08:36]
families. Because the, um, the
[4:08:38]
food donations have decreased
[4:08:40]
because the need has increased.
[4:08:41]
So you
[4:08:44]
re spending that and
[4:08:44]
you
[4:08:46]
re getting the food from
[4:08:48]
these other sources? Yes,
[4:08:49]
ma
[4:08:50]
am. Okay. Thank you so much,
[4:08:54]
Chantal. Okay. Thank you. The
[4:08:56]
next speaker is Haley. Please
[4:08:59]
unmute. All right. Hi,
[4:09:00]
everyone. Can you. Hear me?
[4:09:03]
Yes, we can. Hi. Hi, everyone.
[4:09:04]
m Haley Solaris, and I
[4:09:04]
m with
[4:09:05]
the food bank of Contra Costa
[4:09:07]
and Solano here representing
[4:09:08]
the Food Security
[4:09:09]
Collaborative. I wanted to just
[4:09:11]
bring some perspective to the
[4:09:11]
cuts we
[4:09:12]
re seeing, specifically
[4:09:14]
on the state and the federal
[4:09:15]
level right now. What we
[4:09:15]
re
[4:09:17]
seeing, um, is a program known
[4:09:18]
as Cal Food that is funded by
[4:09:21]
the state. And in the last MAY,
[4:09:22]
revised by the governor. We
[4:09:23]
re
[4:09:26]
expecting a $52 million cut to
[4:09:28]
this program. This program is
[4:09:30]
what allows us to purchase
[4:09:31]
fresh proteins, produce and
[4:09:34]
dairies. And all 250 of our
[4:09:35]
distribution sites are
[4:09:37]
positively benefited from this
[4:09:39]
program. Um, so the cuts would
[4:09:41]
happen would be, um, you know,
[4:09:43]
would be truly devastating. And
[4:09:45]
then on the federal level, um,
[4:09:46]
Caitlin and we touched on this
[4:09:48]
a bit, but we have experienced
[4:09:51]
cuts to our local food
[4:09:52]
purchasing assistance program
[4:09:54]
that allows us to purchase, um,
[4:09:56]
from local farmers. We
[4:09:56]
ve also
[4:09:58]
seen cuts from the Emergency
[4:10:00]
Food Assistance Program. Um,
[4:10:01]
and then we
[4:10:02]
re also expecting
[4:10:04]
cuts, um, to our epa grants and
[4:10:08]
then, um, our fsp grants that
[4:10:09]
specifically focus on the
[4:10:11]
houseless population, houseless
[4:10:14]
population, and then ksp, um,
[4:10:15]
which is specific for seniors.
[4:10:16]
And what we
[4:10:16]
re seeing right now
[4:10:18]
on the federal level, which
[4:10:18]
we
[4:10:19]
re, you know, just waiting
[4:10:22]
for the Senate vote, um, a $300
[4:10:23]
billion cut to snap across the
[4:10:25]
nation, which in California
[4:10:27]
alone would be a $36 billion
[4:10:29]
cut to Snap benefits. And
[4:10:31]
really, looking at about
[4:10:33]
400,000 job losses, because we
[4:10:35]
know that, um, you know, the
[4:10:35]
people that don
[4:10:36]
t only benefit
[4:10:38]
from the, uh, from the food
[4:10:40]
benefits, um, you know, um, the
[4:10:41]
grocers and the farmers
[4:10:43]
involved, um, also benefit from
[4:10:45]
the Snap program. And so we
[4:10:45]
re
[4:10:47]
really looking at these cuts,
[4:10:49]
um, only increasing food
[4:10:51]
insecurity in our, in our
[4:10:53]
county. Um, and we
[4:10:54]
re really
[4:10:56]
seeing that these cuts of snap
[4:10:58]
would, um, is really the most
[4:10:58]
devastating cuts we
[4:10:59]
ve seen,
[4:11:01]
um, in the program across
[4:11:03]
history, about 9.5 billion
[4:11:06]
meals nationwide. The next
[4:11:08]
speaker is Guadalupe. Please
[4:11:22]
unmute. Please go ahead. MR.
[4:11:26]
Chen., can you. Hear me? Yes,
[4:11:30]
we can. See us. Okay. Mi
[4:11:32]

[4:11:35]
Vivian, por cinco anos. Estoy
[4:11:37]
madre. De Los ninos. My name is
[4:11:39]
Guadalupe Solito, and I am. I
[4:11:44]
a mother of two children. Mala
[4:11:46]
experiencia. Mi familia. Yo
[4:11:48]
vimos. Por solo pedir un
[4:11:52]
reparto. We. I had a very bad
[4:11:54]
experience. My family and I
[4:11:56]
were, uh, kicked out o our
[4:11:59]
house because we asked for a
[4:12:02]
stay, but I. Nosotros muy.
[4:12:04]
Dificil. No encontramos
[4:12:06]
apartamento asi. Q. Nos vamos.
[4:12:08]
Con. Me, hermano. Estamos en.
[4:12:10]
El paso de. Su sala. Porter
[4:12:12]
meses. It was very difficult
[4:12:13]
for us because we couldn
[4:12:14]
t find
[4:12:17]
an apartment. So we slept on my
[4:12:17]
brother
[4:12:19]
s living room floor for
[4:12:22]
three months. Asi Como nosotros
[4:12:25]
hay muchas familias. Sin
[4:12:28]
justamente. Por estos. Tiempo.
[4:12:28]
Perdon. I
[4:12:30]
m just like myself.
[4:12:31]
There are a lot of families who
[4:12:34]
have been evicted very in a
[4:12:37]
fair way. Ceo Porfavor estos.
[4:12:40]
Tiempos son muy. Difficiles mas
[4:12:42]
con esta. Administracion. Hay
[4:12:44]
mucha inserted. Umbra y miedo
[4:12:46]
entre la comunidad. And these
[4:12:48]
are very hard times, especially
[4:12:50]
with this administration, that
[4:12:53]
we have. And there is a lot of
[4:12:55]
fear among members of the
[4:12:59]
community. And some uncertainty
[4:13:04]
as well. No, I trabajos y Los
[4:13:06]
tienen. Trabajos les. De miedo.
[4:13:08]
Salir a. Trabajar. There are no
[4:13:10]
jobs and those who have a job
[4:13:10]
don
[4:13:11]
t go to work because
[4:13:12]
they
[4:13:16]
re afraid. I see no pueden
[4:13:17]
no. Tienen dinero. Para pagar.
[4:13:22]
Este. Es un de in.. So they
[4:13:22]
don
[4:13:23]
t have enough money to pay
[4:13:25]
their rent. And they are
[4:13:28]
unfairly evicted. Yeah. Yes.
[4:13:35]
All Los anos estan diciendo van
[4:13:37]
inmigracion.. And the owners
[4:13:39]
themselves, the landlords have
[4:13:40]
been threatening them. And they
[4:13:41]
say that they
[4:13:42]
re going to call
[4:13:46]
the immigration authorities.
[4:13:49]
Over Los. Dos. Anos Como la
[4:13:51]
Escambia. Las capaz. De sus
[4:13:53]
puertas. Con sus cosas adentro
[4:13:55]
y no pueden. Entrar a sacar sus
[4:13:58]
cosas. Eso es. Gusto. I
[4:13:59]
ve seen
[4:14:01]
tenants whose logs have been
[4:14:04]
removed and replaced by the
[4:14:06]
landlord, and so they cannot go
[4:14:08]
inside to retrieve their
[4:14:09]
belongings. So I think that
[4:14:13]
very unfair. Muchas personas.
[4:14:15]
Estan esperando. Su permiso de
[4:14:17]
trabajo. Y no les. Llega por
[4:14:20]
eso no tienen trabajo y.
[4:14:21]
Necesitan pagar su renta para
[4:14:23]
no ser de soldados. And many
[4:14:25]
people are waiting for the work
[4:14:26]
permit. It has not arrived. And
[4:14:27]
so you don
[4:14:28]
t have a job and
[4:14:29]
they have not they don
[4:14:29]
t have
[4:14:31]
enough money or any money to
[4:14:33]
pay their rent so that they
[4:14:33]
won
[4:14:36]
t be evicted. Yes. Por eso
[4:14:38]
can estamos de estos fondos
[4:14:39]
para poder ayudar a Los
[4:14:42]
Angelinos. No se. Han de. Sin
[4:14:44]
justamente. So this is why we
[4:14:46]
need these funds so we can help
[4:14:48]
tenants so they can stay in
[4:14:49]
their homes and they will not
[4:14:53]
be evicted in this unfair
[4:14:56]
manner. Say muchas emergencia.
[4:14:58]
Estan infernos estan. En el
[4:15:02]
hospital. Y no. Pueden ser.
[4:15:04]
Many of them are in the
[4:15:06]
hospital. They have
[4:15:06]
emergencies, they
[4:15:07]
re sick or
[4:15:07]
they
[4:15:08]
re in the hospital so
[4:15:08]
they
[4:15:10]
re unable to pay their
[4:15:13]
rent. Instead of me comentario.
[4:15:16]
Muchas gracias. Those are my
[4:15:20]
comments. Thank you very much.
[4:15:21]
The next. Speaker. Is Hannah.
[4:15:26]
Please unmute. Yes, this is.
[4:15:27]
Hannah Michaelson. I
[4:15:27]
m the
[4:15:29]
director. At Care Parent
[4:15:30]
Network. Where the Family
[4:15:32]
Resource Center and Empowerment
[4:15:33]
Center. For. Contra Costa
[4:15:35]
County, um, serving. Families
[4:15:36]
of. Kids with disabilities. Of
[4:15:40]
all ages. I wanted to add my
[4:15:41]
comments to those. Made by.
[4:15:43]
First five earlier in this
[4:15:45]
meeting. Um, especially about
[4:15:47]
the importance of parent to
[4:15:50]
parent support, um, offered by
[4:15:52]
those with lived experience.
[4:15:53]
There are many people in this
[4:15:56]
county that are, um, trained
[4:15:59]
and very well adept at
[4:16:00]
facilitating a support group,
[4:16:02]
but there is something really
[4:16:04]
special for parents of kids
[4:16:06]
with disabilities meeting with
[4:16:08]
other parents and having that
[4:16:11]
be led by a parent with lived
[4:16:13]
experience. Um, oftentimes when
[4:16:15]
a young child is diagnosed with
[4:16:18]
a disability, it is a steep
[4:16:21]
learning curve. And then add on
[4:16:22]
to that families that are
[4:16:24]
navigating it in a second
[4:16:27]
language, and they are often,
[4:16:30]
you know, needing to to start
[4:16:32]
to navigate a very complex web
[4:16:35]
of services right away. And so
[4:16:37]
many times they only find out
[4:16:39]
by talking to another parent.
[4:16:41]
Uh, what that is like and what
[4:16:43]
other services might be
[4:16:44]
available for their child. So
[4:16:46]
there really is. Power in peer
[4:16:48]
to peer support for parents of
[4:16:50]
kids with disabilities. We have
[4:16:53]
seen an increase in kids being
[4:16:57]
referred to early start to
[4:16:59]
other early intervention
[4:17:01]
services coming out of the
[4:17:02]
pandemic. And so there is this
[4:17:04]
large number of parents that is
[4:17:06]
in need of parent to parent
[4:17:07]
support, and their parent
[4:17:09]
network is staffed completely
[4:17:10]
by parents. We have served
[4:17:12]
Contra Costa County for over 30
[4:17:15]
years, and we look forward to
[4:17:18]
working with first five and
[4:17:20]
looking at continued measure x
[4:17:22]
funding for this specific
[4:17:25]
population. Thank you. The next
[4:17:27]
speaker is Kelsey. Please
[4:17:31]
unmute. Hi. Good afternoon. My
[4:17:33]
name. Is Kelsey. Um, I am the
[4:17:34]
program manager. For Keep
[4:17:36]
People. Housed in Oakland,
[4:17:37]
which is. The counterpart
[4:17:39]
program or is the counterpart
[4:17:41]
to the program. Here in Contra
[4:17:42]
Costa. I
[4:17:43]
m here to highlight
[4:17:45]
the incredibly effective work
[4:17:46]
that. People that keep people
[4:17:47]
housed does. We
[4:17:49]
ve helped.
[4:17:50]
Thousands of clients over the
[4:17:52]
last two years stay in their
[4:17:53]
homes. And because. Of that,
[4:17:53]
we
[4:17:55]
ve. Saved taxpayers several.
[4:17:57]
Thousands of dollars by
[4:17:58]
preventing homelessness before
[4:18:01]
it begins. Most households
[4:18:03]
that. We encounter. Only need
[4:18:04]
one time assistance to
[4:18:06]
stabilize their housing
[4:18:07]
situation, typically at. A
[4:18:10]
cost. Of about $1,500. But if
[4:18:12]
we if they do not receive that
[4:18:14]
one time assistance, they will
[4:18:15]
fall into homelessness and it.
[4:18:17]
Will require. The county to
[4:18:19]
spend an ongoing amount of
[4:18:21]
taxpayer money to care for
[4:18:26]
them, usually over 10,000.
[4:18:27]
Between 10,000 and $15,000 per
[4:18:29]
person per year. And even then,
[4:18:32]
it will be almost impossible
[4:18:34]
for those people to get out of
[4:18:36]
homelessness and then stabilize
[4:18:38]
their housing situation and get
[4:18:40]
back on track. This program.
[4:18:43]
Works. And I urge you. To
[4:18:45]
please consider funding this
[4:18:48]
program, which is sorely needed
[4:18:50]
within our communities. Thank
[4:18:53]
you. The next speaker is Daryl.
[4:19:01]
Please unmute. Good afternoon
[4:19:03]
everyone. Uh, my name is Daryl
[4:19:05]
McDavid. I am. Speaking today
[4:19:07]
as a. Both a Contra. Costa
[4:19:08]
resident and an employee with
[4:19:10]
Bay Area Community Services.
[4:19:12]
m here. To advocate for
[4:19:13]
allocating. The the fund.
[4:19:15]
Measure x funds to. The key
[4:19:18]
people. House program. As well.
[4:19:19]
Uh, it
[4:19:20]
s. True the most true
[4:19:22]
thing that I want to. Mention
[4:19:23]
is that we can
[4:19:24]
t. Serve
[4:19:25]
populations that are most
[4:19:27]
vulnerable if they are pushed
[4:19:28]
out of the county by the cost
[4:19:31]
of living. Uh, people. House
[4:19:33]
focuses. First on reducing. The
[4:19:35]
overall inflow of individuals
[4:19:37]
into homelessness. And another
[4:19:38]
critical component of. Our
[4:19:39]
work. Is building and
[4:19:40]
implementing targeted.
[4:19:41]
Initiatives that aim to
[4:19:43]
support. Specific subsets. Of
[4:19:44]
the. Population with
[4:19:46]
maintaining their housing. My
[4:19:48]
work focuses on developing
[4:19:49]
interventions specific to the
[4:19:50]
transition age, youth
[4:19:51]
population, young people
[4:19:53]
between the ages of 18 and 24.
[4:19:55]
This population faces the
[4:19:57]
unique challenge of working to
[4:19:59]
afford the increasing cost of
[4:20:01]
living within the county. Uh,
[4:20:01]
while they
[4:20:02]
re at the beginning
[4:20:04]
of establishing and increasing
[4:20:06]
their earning potential.
[4:20:07]
Unfortunately. For many of. Our
[4:20:09]
youth, the cost. Of living is
[4:20:10]
increasing faster than they can
[4:20:13]
increase their income. Our
[4:20:14]
young county residents,
[4:20:15]
especially those from black and
[4:20:16]
brown communities, are
[4:20:17]
expending significant amounts
[4:20:19]
of time and energy to maintain
[4:20:20]
their housing. The support,
[4:20:21]
with background and rental
[4:20:23]
support enables us to provide
[4:20:24]
young people with the space,
[4:20:26]
time and support that they need
[4:20:28]
to continue building towards
[4:20:30]
self-sufficiency and gives them
[4:20:34]
the best opportunity to avoid,
[4:20:37]
uh, experiencing, uh, longer.
[4:20:40]
Uh., longer and. Deeper. Uh,
[4:20:42]
experiences of homelessness.
[4:20:45]
Uh, thank you for your. Time.
[4:20:47]
The next speaker is Adam.
[4:20:52]
Please unmute. Noone, this is
[4:20:53]
Adam Poe. I
[4:20:54]
m the managing
[4:20:55]
attorney at Barry Legal Aid. We
[4:20:57]
are one of two major funded
[4:20:59]
legal services providers. We
[4:21:01]
provide housing advocacy and
[4:21:02]
eviction defense for extremely
[4:21:04]
low income individuals and
[4:21:06]
families to prevent eviction.
[4:21:07]
And homelessness. I
[4:21:08]
m here
[4:21:09]
today to ask this board to
[4:21:10]
consider allocating the one
[4:21:12]
time surplus funding. To.
[4:21:13]
Rental assistance, which is a.
[4:21:16]
Cost effective intervention to
[4:21:17]
prevent eviction and
[4:21:19]
homelessness. It is also
[4:21:20]
responsible and data driven use
[4:21:23]
of one time funding. Given the
[4:21:24]
demonstrated return on
[4:21:26]
investment and savings versus
[4:21:28]
the cops costs and disruption
[4:21:30]
associated with allowing
[4:21:31]
individuals and families to
[4:21:34]
lapse into the homeless system.
[4:21:35]
Additionally, the
[4:21:36]
organizational capacity and
[4:21:38]
infrastructure already exists
[4:21:39]
to make sure this money gets
[4:21:41]
into the hands, into the
[4:21:43]
community of at risk community
[4:21:44]
members in an equitable and
[4:21:47]
timely way, the county has
[4:21:48]
already made significant
[4:21:50]
investment in legal services,
[4:21:51]
for which I am extremely
[4:21:53]
grateful. Rental assistance
[4:21:55]
builds on that investment and
[4:21:57]
increases the efficacy of both.
[4:21:59]
Starting in the fall of 2023,
[4:22:00]
Bay Legal and Central Legal
[4:22:01]
have partnered closely with
[4:22:03]
Backs and Monument Impact to
[4:22:04]
provide targeted rental
[4:22:05]
assistance to support our
[4:22:07]
clients who are facing eviction
[4:22:09]
and displacement, the program
[4:22:11]
attorneys can negotiate in real
[4:22:14]
time and in coordination,
[4:22:16]
leveraging repairs to allow
[4:22:17]
leveraging repairs to allow
[4:22:18]
vulnerable tenants to remain in
[4:22:20]
their homes and to ensure that
[4:22:22]
they are safe and dignified.
[4:22:24]
This best practice has never
[4:22:25]
existed in Contra Costa and
[4:22:27]
shows great promise. In its
[4:22:29]
first full year and a half,
[4:22:30]
however, the net loss of rental
[4:22:32]
assistance is significant and
[4:22:34]
will result in the cost of
[4:22:35]
Monument Impact
[4:22:35]
s role within
[4:22:38]
the collaboration, again
[4:22:39]
diminishing the value of the
[4:22:42]
investment already made. More
[4:22:42]
importantly, we
[4:22:42]
re going to see
[4:22:44]
more evictions, more
[4:22:45]
displacement of our most
[4:22:47]
vulnerable community members,
[4:22:48]
low income families,
[4:22:49]
immigrants, seniors and
[4:22:50]
disabled individuals. Thank you
[4:22:52]
for your consideration and
[4:22:53]
restoring vital funding to
[4:22:56]
rental assistance. Thank you.

members cannot be here as
[4:23:47]
planned, because they are out
[4:23:49]
witnessing the arrests at the
[4:23:50]
Concord Courthouse right now.
[4:23:52]
But I also want to share that
[4:23:55]
also as we speak. Uh, we have a
[4:23:58]
tenant, Rosa, and her son in
[4:23:59]
Concord home right now packing
[4:24:01]
up their things because they
[4:24:03]
have to move out of their house
[4:24:06]
because of a eviction notice.
[4:24:08]
Um, she the reason for it is
[4:24:10]
she, um, has been unable to
[4:24:12]
renew her work permit over the
[4:24:15]
last three months. And this is
[4:24:17]
something that had been, um,
[4:24:18]
renewed without question for
[4:24:21]
years before this moment in
[4:24:24]
time. And so, um, now she has
[4:24:25]
to move. Um, she doesn
[4:24:26]
t know
[4:24:26]
where she
[4:24:27]
s going, and she
[4:24:28]
doesn
[4:24:29]
t have the money to to
[4:24:31]
move into a place. Of course.
[4:24:32]
Um, she
[4:24:33]
s hoping to stay on a
[4:24:35]
couch with a friend. Um, and
[4:24:37]
she actually wanted to be here
[4:24:39]
to share her story with you
[4:24:40]
personally today. Um, but she
[4:24:42]
understandably too stressed out
[4:24:43]
and has had several panic
[4:24:45]
attacks in recent weeks because
[4:24:47]
of this situation. She also
[4:24:48]
notes that her landlord was
[4:24:50]
patient and did let her stay
[4:24:51]
for a couple of months, but now
[4:24:54]
has to draw the line. Hers is a
[4:24:56]
perfect example of why we need
[4:24:57]
more rental assistance funds in
[4:24:59]
this county. Rental assistance
[4:25:00]
would have helped her have the
[4:25:02]
money to pay her landlord to
[4:25:04]
stay in her home and not be
[4:25:06]
facing homelessness, given her
[4:25:08]
time to wait for her work
[4:25:10]
permit to be renewed. Rental
[4:25:12]
assistance is a win win for
[4:25:13]
tenants, landlords and Contra
[4:25:15]
Costa County. As you all know,
[4:25:18]
rental assistance is a much
[4:25:20]
more cost effective use of
[4:25:21]
funds as it will cost the
[4:25:23]
county ten times as much to
[4:25:25]
support somebody once they fall
[4:25:26]
into homelessness. So our
[4:25:28]
Raised Roof Coalition sent the
[4:25:30]
board a letter last Thursday
[4:25:32]
urging you to expand rental.
[4:25:34]
Assistance. The next speaker is
[4:25:43]
Cheryl. Please unmute. Soon and.
[4:25:46]
Young, black and male in
[4:25:49]
America. In is and quoted as an
[4:25:51]
endangered species. Even though
[4:25:52]
we know it
[4:25:53]
s. A. Rhetorical
[4:25:55]
one, not a. Biological one
[4:25:58]
still refers to the
[4:26:00]
proportionate negative social
[4:26:02]
and economic outcomes that are
[4:26:04]
faced by black males, which
[4:26:05]
leads to the use of this term
[4:26:07]
to describe their predicament.
[4:26:09]
And it. Includes all. Of the
[4:26:10]
factors that lead to higher
[4:26:12]
rates of homicide,
[4:26:13]
unemployment, incarceration,
[4:26:16]
and lower life expectancies.
[4:26:16]
And we don
[4:26:17]
t need another
[4:26:19]
survey or study or consultants.
[4:26:21]
The numbers speak for
[4:26:22]
themselves. Sitting on the
[4:26:24]
Racial Justice Task Force,
[4:26:26]
sitting on the racial Justice
[4:26:27]
Coalition, sitting on the
[4:26:28]
racial justice oversight body.
[4:26:30]
We seehese numbers in the
[4:26:31]
criminal punishment system. The
[4:26:33]
houseless population,
[4:26:34]
education, including school
[4:26:36]
enrollment and performance, the
[4:26:37]
years in school, the dropout
[4:26:39]
rates, the employment, the
[4:26:40]
delinquency and the crime, the
[4:26:41]
theories of black white
[4:26:43]
performances and delinquent
[4:26:44]
behavior. Substance abuse,
[4:26:46]
including the the drug use and
[4:26:48]
life roles and mental health,
[4:26:50]
the homicide and suicide,
[4:26:51]
including. Accidents and life
[4:26:52]
threatening behaviors, the
[4:26:54]
poverty and the systemic
[4:26:56]
racism. These are systemic
[4:26:58]
issues and challenges, and the
[4:26:59]
ones that black males routinely
[4:27:02]
face. And to continue to have
[4:27:04]
to have this conversation is
[4:27:05]
disheartening. This should not
[4:27:06]
be an exercise in the
[4:27:08]
Oppression Olympics, as I do
[4:27:10]
not know any of us who do not
[4:27:12]
support a want for everyone to
[4:27:14]
have access to food, housing,
[4:27:16]
employment and education. Yet
[4:27:18]
here we are in the midst of
[4:27:19]
family and neighbors being
[4:27:20]
hunted down and terrorized by
[4:27:24]
our government. The conditions
[4:27:25]
of other groups, including
[4:27:27]
women and recent immigrants,
[4:27:28]
have improved over the years,
[4:27:29]
and they
[4:27:31]
ve gotten support. And
[4:27:34]
as a child of immigrants, a
[4:27:36]
family from immigrants, I think
[4:27:38]
that we deserve to have every
[4:27:40]
group supported. And I know
[4:27:42]
these decisions are tough, and
[4:27:44]
I leave it up to you to make
[4:27:46]
the right decision. Thank you.
[4:27:47]
There are no more zoom
[4:27:49]
comments. I do have two more
[4:27:51]
comments from people in
[4:27:54]
chambers. Um, that would be
[4:27:57]
Conway and Paul, followed by
[4:27:58]
Medi Bierman. Please come to
[4:28:00]
the podiums. Okay. And we
[4:28:00]
re
[4:28:02]
going to close down the zoom.
[4:28:03]
At this point, this is the last
[4:28:05]
call for people within chambers
[4:28:15]
to talk on this item. Good
[4:28:18]
afternoon. Uh, because I have.
[4:28:22]
This subject in including few.
[4:28:25]
Uh, risks related. To
[4:28:27]
different. Supervisor based on
[4:28:30]
district. I was asking, should
[4:28:31]
I come here three. More times
[4:28:33]
or just add one more minutes.
[4:28:35]
In case if you. Agree with it.
[4:28:38]
However, first I want to start
[4:28:40]
with supervisor John, I want to
[4:28:42]
thank you so much for input.
[4:28:45]
You put in channel seven
[4:28:47]
against the shell company. That
[4:28:51]
tells me you are very shrewd
[4:28:52]
personality and you have no
[4:28:55]
fear from ceo, oil company or
[4:28:58]
anybody else. And same as MISS
[4:28:59]
Preston. Thank you for your
[4:29:03]
input. You did in on our
[4:29:06]
federal and in funeral. It was
[4:29:08]
very sweet. It was very
[4:29:10]
effective, especially about the
[4:29:11]
bridge, to make it not to come
[4:29:14]
here only complain and fight.
[4:29:16]
Thank you. The subject. I want
[4:29:19]
to talk today to all of you. I
[4:29:21]
go to the bottom of the
[4:29:23]
calculation. I find that
[4:29:25]
because since I. Here, here,
[4:29:27]
everybody talking almost MAY be
[4:29:28]
different language, but the
[4:29:32]
same subject, which is lack of.
[4:29:35]
Food. Lack of money for paying
[4:29:37]
the rent, this is the minimum
[4:29:39]
supposed to be minimum problems
[4:29:41]
in the United States for
[4:29:43]
people. But right now is the
[4:29:46]
crisis. And I believe there is
[4:29:49]
a true result. One of them, we
[4:29:51]
have to band it. We support you
[4:29:54]
to fight with higher level to
[4:29:55]
ban that, sending taxpayers
[4:29:56]
money to somewhere else, to
[4:29:58]
killing the people. That
[4:29:59]
s one
[4:30:01]
thing. Second thing is, I
[4:30:04]
encourage you to do better
[4:30:06]
calculation when you do for,
[4:30:08]
for example, for low income,
[4:30:09]
for whoever it is, they need a
[4:30:12]
good calculation because you
[4:30:14]
kind of not use the system
[4:30:15]
accusing us, or we give you
[4:30:17]
$1,000 Social Security, we give
[4:30:30]
you. For. Because. And then,
[4:30:36]
you know, when. Thank you so
[4:30:40]
much. Hello. Board of
[4:30:42]
supervisors. Um, I
[4:30:43]
m also just.
[4:30:44]
Remembering and reminded that
[4:30:46]
this is a public space for the
[4:30:48]
public. All our residents are
[4:30:49]
really calling in what
[4:30:52]
happening in our community
[4:30:55]
space in Concord right now. I
[4:30:56]
imagine what it really means to
[4:30:58]
be sanctuary and thinking about
[4:31:00]
safe passage to these chambers
[4:31:02]
for our residents who are being
[4:31:03]
attacked by our government and
[4:31:04]
those who are protecting them.
[4:31:07]
So I just want to ask and
[4:31:08]
invite some deep breaths for
[4:31:09]
our folks on the line and who
[4:31:12]
are being targeted today, and
[4:31:14]
all our folks who are targeted
[4:31:16]
implicitly, explicitly, every
[4:31:22]
day. Um, in the short time I
[4:31:22]
ve
[4:31:23]
been able to be in chambers,
[4:31:24]
you know, I
[4:31:25]
m just hearing over
[4:31:27]
and over again the cascading
[4:31:29]
impacts of the distress our
[4:31:32]
communities are in and how the
[4:31:35]
snowball of fear of being
[4:31:38]
pushed out, what it leads to
[4:31:39]
food insecurity, not being able
[4:31:41]
to go to school, being kicked
[4:31:43]
out of school, active mental
[4:31:45]
health psychoses of our young
[4:31:46]
folks not being able to be
[4:31:48]
addressed by any system that
[4:31:50]
set up now, no matter what our
[4:31:53]
best intentions are. And so
[4:31:53]
you
[4:31:55]
ve heard about and you
[4:31:55]
ve
[4:31:57]
seen the intensity of community
[4:32:00]
led research and inquiry and
[4:32:00]
assessment. There
[4:32:01]
s no more
[4:32:03]
rigorous inquiry than community
[4:32:06]
coming together. Um, and over
[4:32:08]
and over again, so many folks
[4:32:08]
have shared that we
[4:32:09]
ve done
[4:32:09]
that. We
[4:32:10]
re doing that. We
[4:32:12]
believe in accountability. We
[4:32:13]
believe in being able to
[4:32:14]
actually analyze what we
[4:32:15]
re
[4:32:16]
doing, learning and adjusting.
[4:32:19]
We need and want our systems,
[4:32:20]
our leaders in this county, to
[4:32:22]
be able to do that with us. So
[4:32:24]
with that, I urge I ask you to
[4:32:26]
really approve these
[4:32:27]
recommendations that have come
[4:32:29]
from deep, deep, proximate
[4:32:31]
inquiry, not distance in an
[4:32:32]
academy or an institution that
[4:32:32]
doesn
[4:32:33]
t know our peoples. Thank
[4:32:37]
you. Can I ask a question? I
[4:32:39]
know you
[4:32:40]
re seeing more demand
[4:32:42]
at the Rise Center. Can you
[4:32:45]
just talk about that briefly?
[4:32:47]
Yeah, I can share, um, very
[4:32:49]
specifically around housing. We
[4:32:51]
were able to engage in a pilot
[4:32:53]
project with nine other
[4:32:54]
communities across the country
[4:32:56]
to provide direct resources to
[4:32:59]
young people at risk of
[4:32:59]
homelessness. There
[4:33:00]
s all these
[4:33:01]
parameters around what is and
[4:33:03]
what is not homelessness
[4:33:05]
defined by hud? Um, we we did
[4:33:07]
not publicize that because we
[4:33:07]
knew we wouldn
[4:33:09]
t have enough
[4:33:09]
funds. Right. So we didn
[4:33:10]
t do a
[4:33:12]
big call out on our socials. We
[4:33:13]
worked closely with our
[4:33:15]
community college partners,
[4:33:16]
with our folks at age three and
[4:33:19]
the continuum of care. We even
[4:33:22]
within that, we received over
[4:33:24]
300 requests in nine months by
[4:33:26]
young people in this community.
[4:33:28]
And outside of this region as
[4:33:30]
they learned about it. And
[4:33:31]
again, um, we didn
[4:33:32]
t have
[4:33:34]
enough funds. And I heard even
[4:33:35]
some of our partners who were
[4:33:37]
in this space talking about one
[4:33:39]
time funds will do it all. I
[4:33:39]
will, I just want to share.
[4:33:40]
They won
[4:33:41]
t because the one time
[4:33:44]
funds go to rent. But again,
[4:33:44]
what you
[4:33:45]
re hearing is what
[4:33:46]
comes with that is I don
[4:33:46]
t have
[4:33:49]
a job. I, um, my relatives have
[4:33:50]
to sort of leave. I don
[4:33:50]
t know
[4:33:50]
where they
[4:33:52]
re going to go. Um,
[4:33:52]
they
[4:33:53]
re safe passage issues. I
[4:33:54]
can
[4:33:55]
t pay for child care. I
[4:33:58]
actually distressed. Right. I
[4:33:59]
might have physical and mental
[4:34:00]
health conditions that need to
[4:34:01]
be addressed. So when we
[4:34:01]
re
[4:34:03]
supporting young people around
[4:34:05]
housing and being at risk of
[4:34:06]
homelessness, that is certainly
[4:34:09]
what gets them sort of to us.
[4:34:11]
But it is so much other stuff
[4:34:13]
around that. And what I also
[4:34:15]
need to say is that especially
[4:34:17]
for our young folks who are
[4:34:19]
black identified, coming to us,
[4:34:21]
the implicit and explicit
[4:34:24]
discrimination and stigma by
[4:34:25]
landlords, property
[4:34:26]
development, our service,
[4:34:28]
social service systems, it is
[4:34:30]
so deep and our staff have to
[4:34:32]
work triple, quadruple time to
[4:34:35]
also navigate and hold that
[4:34:37]
distress. So just an example of
[4:34:38]
what we
[4:34:40]
re seeing. Thank you.
[4:34:42]
For the chair. MAY I call it
[4:34:43]
Peter? Um, because I know there
[4:34:44]
was questions about the African
[4:34:46]
American wellness, uh,
[4:34:47]
Supervisor Burgess had. I just
[4:34:48]
want. To. Make sure I think
[4:34:49]
that
[4:34:50]
s in reference to the
[4:34:53]
request that we, um, allocate
[4:34:55]
additional funding to go toward
[4:34:56]
outreach toward African
[4:34:59]
American males to get them more
[4:35:00]
involved. I wanted to address
[4:35:02]
the memo that was attached to
[4:35:04]
the material that that email
[4:35:06]
that I submitted at the
[4:35:07]
appropriate time after this.
[4:35:07]
Right. So we
[4:35:08]
re going to have
[4:35:10]
Peter do that, and then we
[4:35:10]
ll
[4:35:12]
bring it back to the board. For
[4:35:13]
discussion. Just like when you
[4:35:15]
introduce the letter on the
[4:35:16]
refugee that was attached, I
[4:35:19]
want to introduce this, this
[4:35:21]
attachment. Okay, I we
[4:35:21]
ve all
[4:35:23]
got it. But if you want to
[4:35:25]
formally introduce it to you.
[4:35:26]
Well I just wanted to address
[4:35:26]
why it
[4:35:28]
s there. Peter, please,
[4:35:30]
please go ahead and address the
[4:35:31]
question by Supervisor Bergus
[4:35:33]
of whether or not the funding
[4:35:33]
that
[4:35:34]
s already been allocated.
[4:35:36]
I think this is your question
[4:35:37]
to the African American
[4:35:38]
Holistic Wellness Hub. If any
[4:35:41]
of that could or would be used
[4:35:43]
potentially to, um, work on
[4:35:45]
this issue of getting African
[4:35:47]
American males. And was it
[4:35:48]
considered already. Was it was
[4:35:50]
it already considered and
[4:35:50]
decided you wouldn
[4:35:51]
t want to
[4:35:53]
spend money on it? Sure. So the
[4:35:55]
short answer is yes, of course.
[4:35:57]
Uh, allocations that have been
[4:35:59]
already, um, assigned can go
[4:36:00]
towards that. And we
[4:36:00]
re
[4:36:01]
absolutely considering that.
[4:36:03]
But just to provide some added
[4:36:04]
context, uh, as mentioned,
[4:36:06]
currently we have $1 million
[4:36:07]
that are out in the community
[4:36:09]
right now in community based
[4:36:11]
contracts to provide services
[4:36:13]
in five service categories,
[4:36:14]
which include behavioral
[4:36:17]
health, housing and food
[4:36:19]
insecurity, um, youth
[4:36:21]
development, community healing,
[4:36:23]
and infant and maternal health
[4:36:24]
care. So in those categories,
[4:36:25]
you have black males being
[4:36:27]
served, but nothing currently
[4:36:28]
is being allocated specifically
[4:36:31]
and exclusively for black
[4:36:32]
males. Um, but as we
[4:36:32]
ve heard,
[4:36:34]
there are very unique and
[4:36:35]
pressing needs within the black
[4:36:37]
male community. Uh, so we do
[4:36:38]
not have anything currently
[4:36:41]
being funded for that. Um, and
[4:36:42]
also just to note, regarding
[4:36:44]
the current $1 million, as was
[4:36:46]
noted by a speaker earlier, one
[4:36:47]
of our grantees, in her words,
[4:36:49]
there micro grants is how she
[4:36:50]
described them, but they ranged
[4:36:54]
from 50 to $100,000, which is a
[4:36:56]
solid investment towards
[4:36:57]
immediate services to address
[4:36:59]
crisis in the short term. But
[4:36:59]
they
[4:37:01]
re only for one year, and
[4:37:02]
so they do not speak to the
[4:37:04]
long term, sustained work
[4:37:06]
towards transformation that I
[4:37:07]
know that our board that all of
[4:37:09]
you are very interested in now
[4:37:10]
regarding our implementation
[4:37:13]
plan for the $7.5 million
[4:37:14]
towards a hub, we are currently
[4:37:16]
working with our county
[4:37:17]
departments to really ensure
[4:37:19]
that all of the good work that
[4:37:19]
they
[4:37:20]
re currently doing to
[4:37:21]
serve our communities, our
[4:37:22]
vulnerable communities, are
[4:37:24]
going to be leveraged so that
[4:37:26]
we can really, uh, get the most
[4:37:28]
impact of the $7.5 million and
[4:37:30]
not be redundant, but to take
[4:37:30]
advantage of what
[4:37:31]
s currently
[4:37:32]
being offered by the county.
[4:37:34]
But once we identify those gaps
[4:37:36]
and also pay close attention to
[4:37:37]
our comprehensive community
[4:37:39]
needs assessment, we are going
[4:37:43]
to propose a phased approach
[4:37:44]
towards the implementation of
[4:37:46]
the hub, where over a period of
[4:37:48]
years, until we are able to
[4:37:50]
finally, uh, lift up a brick
[4:37:52]
and mortar hub somewhere in the
[4:37:53]
East County that we are
[4:37:55]
actually funding services in
[4:37:58]
the first phase, uh, that meet
[4:38:00]
the priority categories of
[4:38:02]
service, again, as illustrated
[4:38:03]
by internal assessment of
[4:38:06]
county does and our own, uh,
[4:38:07]
comprehensive needs assessment.
[4:38:10]
And we can include an attention
[4:38:12]
to African-American males. But
[4:38:13]
I just really think it
[4:38:16]
important to note $7.5 million
[4:38:17]
significant investment. We are
[4:38:19]
very, very lucky to have that
[4:38:22]
money. And yet, when we look at
[4:38:25]
the very comprehensive, uh,
[4:38:26]
need and the depth of the need
[4:38:28]
within our black communities,
[4:38:30]
the fact that we are trying to
[4:38:31]
prolong or rather, have a plan
[4:38:33]
that lasts over several years
[4:38:36]
and also include satellite
[4:38:37]
sites and services that are
[4:38:39]
throughout the entire county,
[4:38:42]
we see that 7.5 decreased
[4:38:43]
significantly and quickly when
[4:38:44]
we look at it through that
[4:38:46]
scope. So I do not want any of
[4:38:47]
the context that I
[4:38:48]
m providing
[4:38:50]
you to discourage you all from
[4:38:53]
considering the value of an
[4:38:54]
investment that is exclusively
[4:38:55]
for black males. We would
[4:38:57]
welcome that. We would include
[4:38:57]
that right away in our
[4:38:59]
implementation planning,
[4:39:01]
because again, that 7.5
[4:39:01]
million, while significant,
[4:39:04]
does not meet the breadth and
[4:39:06]
depth of the need. So a focus
[4:39:07]
investment on black males would
[4:39:08]
be very much welcome. Yes. Can
[4:39:09]
I follow up after you
[4:39:10]
re done,
[4:39:11]
Diane, with any questions of
[4:39:13]
Peter? I
[4:39:15]
m just, um, I
[4:39:17]
m trying
[4:39:20]
to kind of ask questions that a
[4:39:21]
lot of people ask. I
[4:39:21]
m not
[4:39:23]
trying to. And I
[4:39:24]
m asking
[4:39:24]
questions that I don
[4:39:26]
necessarily know the answers
[4:39:29]
to. So this is really just a,
[4:39:33]
uh, organic kind of, um, way of
[4:39:36]
approaching it. I, you know, we
[4:39:37]
will talk about other things as
[4:39:42]
far as, um, budgets and needs
[4:39:48]
and all of that. And so I feel
[4:39:48]
that there
[4:39:49]
s a significant
[4:39:52]
amount of money that has been,
[4:39:54]
uh, uh, committed to the
[4:39:56]
African American wellness hub
[4:39:58]
with those goals. And so I
[4:39:59]
didn
[4:40:01]
t know if there was a way
[4:40:03]
of using some of that money, if
[4:40:05]
that was a priority to that
[4:40:09]
community. That is helping form
[4:40:12]
this. Um, effort. So that was
[4:40:13]
that was where I was coming
[4:40:15]
from. Thanks. I
[4:40:16]
ll just add so
[4:40:19]
I know, um, this attachment, I
[4:40:21]
want to ask Peter about this to
[4:40:23]
the material. Remember at the
[4:40:25]
last meeting we started talking
[4:40:27]
about some allocations and then
[4:40:29]
we said we would put that off
[4:40:32]
to this meeting. So what I did
[4:40:35]
was sort of take, um, the
[4:40:37]
priorities that the, um,
[4:40:39]
measure x Advisory Committee
[4:40:42]
had talked about. But I also
[4:40:44]
reflected on our own values and
[4:40:44]
experience. I mean, I
[4:40:45]
ve gone
[4:40:47]
to, um, I was on the equity
[4:40:49]
committee last year and heard
[4:40:51]
the same testimony. I went to
[4:40:55]
the, um, uh, to the the
[4:40:56]
community forum we did in each
[4:40:57]
of our districts, went to mine
[4:41:02]
in Richmond. Um, and I talked
[4:41:04]
to to all our departments about
[4:41:06]
some of these priorities and
[4:41:11]
asked them what would be the
[4:41:13]
best way to program dollars
[4:41:15]
under these priorities. At the
[4:41:17]
measure x, cab had suggested to
[4:41:19]
see to sort of ground truth as
[4:41:22]
to what our departments are
[4:41:25]
looking at. And so that that
[4:41:27]
the attachment that you see
[4:41:28]
that a few people have referred
[4:41:30]
to. So I believe in committing
[4:41:31]
to writing, not just pulling
[4:41:33]
out of thin air. What I think
[4:41:35]
we should spend money on. But I
[4:41:38]
put it in writing and I ran it
[4:41:40]
by each of the departments to
[4:41:43]
hear what they thought. And the
[4:41:45]
500,000 to expand services to
[4:41:48]
black males comes out of some
[4:41:50]
discussion with um, in both
[4:41:52]
listening to the cab with
[4:41:55]
Peter, my own expience at the
[4:41:55]
meetings, what I
[4:41:56]
ve heard, I
[4:41:57]
have the district with the
[4:41:59]
largest African American
[4:42:00]
population, followed by
[4:42:01]
Supervisor Scales Preston
[4:42:05]
district. Um, so we hear a lot,
[4:42:05]
and we
[4:42:06]
ve just like all of you,
[4:42:06]
you
[4:42:09]
ve gone to your community,
[4:42:11]
um, gatherings to hear from
[4:42:15]
folks. And so, Peter sort of
[4:42:17]
provided some thoughts and
[4:42:19]
ideas, um, based on the work
[4:42:20]
that the Equity Committee and
[4:42:22]
the Office of Racial Equity and
[4:42:24]
Social Justice are doing. And
[4:42:24]
so that
[4:42:26]
s the 500,000 that
[4:42:28]
would add value to specifically
[4:42:30]
focus on black males. Um, and
[4:42:32]
we work closely with the black
[4:42:36]
male community members, um,
[4:42:37]
with the community advisory
[4:42:40]
body. Right. Um, and that you
[4:42:42]
would add it to the already
[4:42:44]
allocated 7.5 million, which is
[4:42:45]
not enough. We
[4:42:47]
ve all
[4:42:48]
understood. Um, did you want to
[4:42:50]
add anything further? Um, you
[4:42:52]
saw what I put together based
[4:42:54]
on the input I received also
[4:42:56]
from from your department. Did
[4:42:57]
you want. It? And you talk
[4:42:59]
about it being added to augment
[4:43:01]
any investment towards phase
[4:43:04]
one services with, um, focus on
[4:43:05]
and prioritize the development
[4:43:07]
and well-being of black males
[4:43:10]
with 50% dedicated more to
[4:43:11]
prevention and 50% to
[4:43:12]
intervention. So I just wanted
[4:43:14]
anything you wanted to add. So
[4:43:16]
I wanted to set the context for
[4:43:19]
this as well as the other, uh,
[4:43:21]
items here. No, just again,
[4:43:22]
reemphasize that we are in
[4:43:24]
support of that recommendation
[4:43:27]
that we would incorporate that
[4:43:29]
$500,000 in any implementation,
[4:43:30]
uh, planning for that first
[4:43:32]
phase of services. And that
[4:43:33]
would allow us to then write
[4:43:35]
into any kind of solicitation
[4:43:38]
process and a very explicit ask
[4:43:39]
for services that prioritize
[4:43:41]
black male health. Got it.
[4:43:43]
Okay. And I just want to add,
[4:43:44]
right, we just had discussion
[4:43:47]
this morning on the, um,
[4:43:48]
Juneteenth resolution. And I
[4:43:51]
said then and I think all of us
[4:43:52]
agree that, you know, we
[4:43:53]
ve
[4:43:55]
shown a commitment to invest.
[4:43:56]
It hasn
[4:43:57]
t been it
[4:43:57]
s still not
[4:44:00]
sufficient. And, um, if we
[4:44:02]
really want to make good on our
[4:44:04]
resolution and really put
[4:44:05]
action behind it, we have to
[4:44:08]
make some investment, um, to
[4:44:09]
just say we
[4:44:10]
re going to pass a
[4:44:13]
resolution and not actually say
[4:44:13]
we
[4:44:14]
re going to act, we
[4:44:14]
re going
[4:44:16]
to increase our investment,
[4:44:16]
isn
[4:44:18]
t I think we build
[4:44:20]
expectations in the public by
[4:44:22]
passing all these resolutions.
[4:44:24]
Both the public wants to see is
[4:44:26]
action and close the disparity
[4:44:28]
gap that exists, just like our
[4:44:28]
health department did during
[4:44:30]
the pandemic. Right. We had a
[4:44:32]
disparity gap between African
[4:44:34]
Americans and whites on
[4:44:35]
vaccinations and Covid, and
[4:44:36]
they worked hard to try to
[4:44:38]
close that gap. I think that
[4:44:38]
what we
[4:44:40]
re all I know, all
[4:44:41]
committed to here. So I just
[4:44:42]
wanted to add that and then
[4:44:46]
just briefly, um, I, I didn
[4:44:48]
put dollar amounts for all of
[4:44:49]
these, but I again, tried. To
[4:44:51]
run. Well, before Peter goes,
[4:44:52]
can I ask. A question? Sorry.
[4:44:53]
Yes, I
[4:44:53]
m done. With Peter. So
[4:44:55]
the question is, I think what
[4:44:55]
Diane
[4:44:56]
s getting at, I
[4:44:58]
assuming isn
[4:44:58]
t this isn
[4:44:59]
important. It
[4:45:00]
s it
[4:45:00]
s almost
[4:45:03]
more how quickly do you
[4:45:04]
realistically think you
[4:45:04]
re
[4:45:06]
going to be spending the
[4:45:07]
additional funding? You know,
[4:45:09]
is it possible with the. So
[4:45:10]
right now you
[4:45:11]
ve allocated $1
[4:45:13]
million. So is there 6.5
[4:45:16]
million currently that um, is
[4:45:19]
still remaining in this fund?
[4:45:20]
No, the 1 million was a
[4:45:21]
separate allocation that you.
[4:45:21]
All approved. So it
[4:45:22]
s a
[4:45:23]
completely separate one. So I
[4:45:23]
guess that
[4:45:24]
s the you know,
[4:45:25]
right now we
[4:45:25]
re hearing from a
[4:45:27]
lot of competing needs. And so
[4:45:29]
then the question kind of would
[4:45:31]
be how quickly do you
[4:45:36]
anticipate needing to spend the
[4:45:37]
$7.5 million then is it
[4:45:39]
possible to use some of that?
[4:45:41]
If this is a very, very high
[4:45:43]
priority, that could then
[4:45:44]
eventually be backfilled once
[4:45:47]
the scope of the African
[4:45:49]
American holistic wellness hubs
[4:45:50]
throughout the county is
[4:45:52]
further developed. I think what
[4:45:54]
ve been hearing is 7.5
[4:45:54]
million isn
[4:45:56]
t going to be
[4:45:57]
enough. Um, under certain
[4:45:58]
plans. So I think that
[4:45:58]
s sort
[4:45:59]
of what, you know, right now,
[4:46:00]
what we
[4:46:01]
re really talking about
[4:46:02]
today is just we
[4:46:03]
ve got 1.2,
[4:46:05]
you know, what is the exact
[4:46:07]
amount? $1.471 million. So
[4:46:08]
that
[4:46:08]
s what I
[4:46:08]
m trying to
[4:46:09]
figure out. And I
[4:46:09]
m assuming
[4:46:10]
that
[4:46:10]
s what Diane was saying.
[4:46:11]
It
[4:46:11]
s not that it
[4:46:12]
s not
[4:46:13]
important. Is it possible to
[4:46:15]
use some of the 7.5 million
[4:46:15]
that
[4:46:19]
s there to. Yeah. So
[4:46:21]
again, we would really welcome
[4:46:22]
the additional funding to be
[4:46:24]
put into that first phase. So
[4:46:25]
then we can expand the pot of
[4:46:25]
funds that we
[4:46:26]
re able to go out
[4:46:28]
for services in this first
[4:46:30]
phase, the 7.5 million. We
[4:46:31]
would not propose to spend that
[4:46:32]
all at once, but that will
[4:46:34]
actually go out over several,
[4:46:36]
several years. Um, but an
[4:46:38]
additional allocation of 500
[4:46:39]
wouldllow us to really expand
[4:46:40]
the kind of services that we
[4:46:43]
can fund until we actually have
[4:46:45]
the actual hub and the network
[4:46:47]
established. Okay. And then the
[4:46:49]
other question is, um, I know
[4:46:51]
Shanell and I talked about it a
[4:46:52]
few weeks ago. You know, is
[4:46:55]
there a program in place that
[4:46:58]
or a design. Do we know
[4:47:00]
something like this needs
[4:47:02]
$500,000 right up. Is it
[4:47:04]
possible that you know
[4:47:05]
something could get started
[4:47:06]
contracting with the provider
[4:47:07]
for a less amount? I
[4:47:07]
m just
[4:47:08]
trying to figure out how we
[4:47:08]
re
[4:47:11]
going to spread 1.4 million
[4:47:14]
over a very, very small needs
[4:47:15]
in the scheme of things.
[4:47:15]
Absolutely. I
[4:47:17]
ll just comment
[4:47:19]
that if we are allocated 500,
[4:47:20]
then what we would do is
[4:47:23]
probably, um, have a set of
[4:47:25]
services that we rfp out or rfq
[4:47:27]
out for, uh, that addresses
[4:47:28]
different needs amongst black
[4:47:29]
males because they
[4:47:30]
re varied.
[4:47:30]
So I don
[4:47:31]
t think that the
[4:47:32]
500,000 necessarily would have
[4:47:34]
to go to a single provider. Uh,
[4:47:36]
it could go to multiple
[4:47:38]
providers. Okay. Thank you. Can
[4:47:44]
I. Ask so I how is that $1
[4:47:46]
million determined? Um, that
[4:47:48]
being distributed. How is that
[4:47:51]
decided? Uh, you all approve
[4:47:53]
the 1 million in a previous set
[4:47:55]
of meetings? And did we get
[4:47:59]
values from a, um, any advisory
[4:48:01]
or any. Of the equity? Yes,
[4:48:03]
absolutely. So we had a yes. We
[4:48:04]
had a steering committee of
[4:48:05]
community members over the
[4:48:07]
feasibility study, but it was
[4:48:08]
through conversation with them
[4:48:09]
and our researcher that came up
[4:48:12]
with the five priority service
[4:48:12]
categories for which we
[4:48:12]
re
[4:48:14]
using that $1 million. Okay.
[4:48:14]
That
[4:48:18]
s and so when was this,
[4:48:23]
um, idea issue project
[4:48:26]
considered in that, in that
[4:48:27]
consideration? Uh, you know, at
[4:48:28]
the time, I mean, we
[4:48:30]
ve heard
[4:48:32]
advocacy from like, like Nami
[4:48:34]
and 40 voices for many years
[4:48:35]
now lifting up the need for
[4:48:37]
black males. So, yes, that was
[4:48:39]
brought up in the past. But
[4:48:40]
again, even 1 million with that
[4:48:41]
small amount of money, it was a
[4:48:43]
difficult decision like you all
[4:48:44]
make to prioritize certain
[4:48:45]
service categories. We
[4:48:45]
re
[4:48:46]
looking at the data to see
[4:48:47]
which were the most vulnerable,
[4:48:49]
which were the most
[4:48:50]
marginalized, uh, at that
[4:48:53]
moment. So the advisory did not
[4:48:55]
put it at the level a
[4:48:57]
recommendation of funding. I
[4:48:58]
was on the equity. Committee.,
[4:49:01]
and we speak.. Okay. All right.
[4:49:03]
After I was on the equity
[4:49:05]
committee last year. Okay. All
[4:49:05]
right. Don
[4:49:06]
t interrupt her. All
[4:49:07]
right. Sorry. I have the list
[4:49:09]
in front of me. So, as Peter
[4:49:12]
was saying, it was 13
[4:49:13]
organizations that got
[4:49:17]
allocated, and it was between
[4:49:19]
500 to $100,000. Only one
[4:49:20]
organization got $100,000.
[4:49:23]
Eight organizations got 50,000,
[4:49:26]
five organizations got 76,000.
[4:49:29]
So the one organization got
[4:49:30]
100,000 was for maternal
[4:49:31]
health. Well, two
[4:49:32]
organizations. So that
[4:49:36]
176,002 grants for maternal
[4:49:39]
health for black women. Um, so
[4:49:39]
that
[4:49:41]
s already taken away from
[4:49:43]
our million dollars. Um, as you
[4:49:45]
can see, um, if we
[4:49:45]
re looking
[4:49:50]
at, um, youth development, uh,
[4:49:53]
one organization 100 years
[4:49:54]
project is to work with youth
[4:49:57]
in our community between
[4:49:58]
Richmond and Antioch. That
[4:50:00]
$76,000. Well, that
[4:50:01]
s not going
[4:50:02]
to be a lot of youth. They
[4:50:02]
re
[4:50:03]
going to be able to work with
[4:50:04]
between two communities. When
[4:50:04]
we
[4:50:06]
re focusing on African
[4:50:07]
Americans, this is for all
[4:50:09]
African Americans. This is just
[4:50:11]
not a focus on the African. But
[4:50:14]
was there a proposal for
[4:50:14]
specifically? What we
[4:50:14]
re
[4:50:16]
talking about is for African
[4:50:18]
American males, was there
[4:50:19]
anything recommended at that
[4:50:22]
time or even put forth for
[4:50:23]
consideration? Is what I
[4:50:27]
asking. If I if I could
[4:50:28]
respond. So again. There
[4:50:32]
always been talk of supporting
[4:50:34]
black males through the African
[4:50:36]
American woman. Yes. But I was
[4:50:39]
on the committee last year and
[4:50:41]
now the new members this year.
[4:50:43]
That has been a consistent
[4:50:45]
theme. The issue has been there
[4:50:45]
hasn
[4:50:47]
t been enough money to
[4:50:49]
cover everything. And that
[4:50:53]
why this additional request for
[4:50:55]
500,000 is on top of the good
[4:50:55]
work. So I don
[4:50:56]
t think anyone
[4:50:58]
should be under any mistaken
[4:51:01]
belief that this oversight that
[4:51:04]
the the recommendations did not
[4:51:06]
support African American. No.
[4:51:07]
No, no, I want to be 100%
[4:51:09]
certain on that. I was all of
[4:51:12]
the areas. I was asking. If
[4:51:15]
this was a consideration for a
[4:51:18]
thing. And just to be clear,
[4:51:19]
what you just said, there
[4:51:19]
wasn
[4:51:21]
t enough money, there
[4:51:21]
isn
[4:51:24]
t enough money. So for
[4:51:25]
everything. So what I
[4:51:25]
m trying
[4:51:29]
to understand is using our
[4:51:31]
advisories, using our
[4:51:31]
committee. I
[4:51:32]
m just trying to
[4:51:34]
know, did it get considered as
[4:51:37]
a project and was it
[4:51:38]
recommended as a funding? I
[4:51:39]
not. It
[4:51:40]
s not a judgment. I
[4:51:42]
just asking the question. So so
[4:51:44]
the steering committee actually
[4:51:45]
prioritized service categories
[4:51:47]
and not populations.
[4:51:48]
Populations actually came to
[4:51:49]
the forefront in terms of who
[4:51:51]
were most vulnerable, which
[4:51:52]
absolutely included black
[4:51:54]
males. Unequivocally, yes. Also
[4:51:56]
included elders included are
[4:51:58]
unhoused folks. Um, but in the
[4:52:00]
end, they opted to actually
[4:52:02]
select and prioritize service
[4:52:03]
categories like mental
[4:52:05]
behavioral health, housing,
[4:52:06]
health, food or housing and
[4:52:08]
security. And of course, within
[4:52:09]
all those serving service
[4:52:11]
categories. We do serve African
[4:52:12]
American males. The one
[4:52:14]
organization that Supervisor
[4:52:15]
Scales PRESIDENT, just
[4:52:15]
mentioned. While they
[4:52:16]
re open
[4:52:17]
to serving males and females,
[4:52:19]
the majority of the folks they
[4:52:20]
serve are African American
[4:52:21]
males. Because so much of what
[4:52:23]
they do is around violence
[4:52:24]
prevention, group and gang
[4:52:25]
prevention, um, and that tend
[4:52:27]
to be more males involved in
[4:52:29]
that type of, um, those type of
[4:52:31]
challenges. However, again, we
[4:52:33]
do not have anything currently
[4:52:34]
exclusively dedicated to black
[4:52:35]
males, but we do know there
[4:52:35]
s a
[4:52:36]
demonstrated need for something
[4:52:38]
like that. Yeah. Thank you. We
[4:52:40]
have heard even during our
[4:52:42]
budget process from the public
[4:52:42]
defender
[4:52:44]
s office, through the
[4:52:44]
sheriff
[4:52:44]
s office, the da
[4:52:46]
office, more people are being
[4:52:48]
placed in our jails. And when
[4:52:49]
they showed the numbers, the
[4:52:52]
highest number was black males.
[4:52:54]
Yeah. And then the second
[4:52:56]
highest number was Latinos. So
[4:52:57]
that was like almost a little
[4:53:00]
over 60% of my minorities in
[4:53:02]
our community that are being
[4:53:04]
jailed right now, just from
[4:53:06]
JANUARY up until now, when we
[4:53:08]
had those budget presentations.
[4:53:08]
It
[4:53:10]
s a huge need that we need
[4:53:12]
to focus on the black males and
[4:53:14]
to go even further. Our Job
[4:53:17]
Corps was just paused by the
[4:53:18]
federal government because the
[4:53:19]
Department of Labor decided to
[4:53:20]
get rid of a program that
[4:53:23]
been here forever, that the
[4:53:24]
majority of the people there
[4:53:26]
are people of color that are
[4:53:28]
black and Latino males, over
[4:53:32]
300 youth with no solution of
[4:53:32]
what
[4:53:33]
s going to happen to them,
[4:53:35]
where we have unhoused youth,
[4:53:35]
we
[4:53:37]
re able to go to job corps,
[4:53:38]
get a trade and come out and
[4:53:41]
have a job and have opportunity
[4:53:42]
within our county. And now
[4:53:43]
that
[4:53:45]
s gone. So this is
[4:53:46]
something huge that we really
[4:53:50]
need to be thinking about.
[4:53:51]
Okay, so let
[4:53:52]
s continue. John,
[4:53:53]
you want to keep going through
[4:53:53]
your list. You
[4:53:54]
ve got a lot
[4:53:56]
more on your list than the. One.
[4:53:58]
Because of the discussion. I
[4:53:59]
was still seeing something. Oh
[4:54:00]
I thought you wanted me to
[4:54:02]
talk. No, I was calling you,
[4:54:03]
but I just. I was just
[4:54:04]
finishing my. Sentence to
[4:54:05]
interrupt you. Sorry. I know
[4:54:06]
you don
[4:54:06]
t. And that
[4:54:07]
s why I
[4:54:08]
just reminding you in a in a
[4:54:09]
very pleasant way. Now, I was
[4:54:11]
just saying, your list is a
[4:54:13]
little bit longer than the
[4:54:14]
1.471 million that we
[4:54:14]
ve got
[4:54:15]
today. So please continue going
[4:54:19]
through your list. So, um, we
[4:54:21]
heard some input, um, both from
[4:54:23]
the cab and when I talk to
[4:54:25]
employment, Human Services, and
[4:54:27]
they had identified this
[4:54:29]
investment in, in parent peer
[4:54:31]
support services. Important,
[4:54:33]
um, as you see laid out here.
[4:54:34]
And then we heard one of we
[4:54:36]
heard first five talk about the
[4:54:38]
focus on parents with young
[4:54:40]
children with disabilities as a
[4:54:42]
focus area. Then the the
[4:54:44]
expanding family navigation
[4:54:46]
services, which, which we have
[4:54:46]
and we
[4:54:47]
re working with Coco
[4:54:49]
kids and first five on that. So
[4:54:51]
it was those two categories.
[4:54:53]
And I was again trying to get
[4:54:56]
input. Um, and then, um, you
[4:54:59]
know, we put funding, um, we
[4:55:01]
had a great partnership between
[4:55:02]
the Department of Conservation
[4:55:04]
Development and Contra Costa
[4:55:06]
Health. Uh, on housing
[4:55:08]
services. We heard a lot about
[4:55:10]
that. And so talking to both
[4:55:11]
health and dcd, they talked
[4:55:15]
about an allocation, um, to the
[4:55:17]
measure housing fund for
[4:55:20]
increased services, 50% to be
[4:55:21]
utilized for housing services
[4:55:24]
for youth and young adults, 50%
[4:55:26]
to augment emergency rental
[4:55:27]
assistance. And you can I don
[4:55:29]
want to go and read everything
[4:55:32]
in the last item was we heard
[4:55:35]
the consistent message about
[4:55:37]
the, um, um, that the
[4:55:38]
underserved, there
[4:55:38]
s everyone
[4:55:40]
underserved in mental health,
[4:55:42]
but the really underserved
[4:55:44]
population was the aapi as
[4:55:45]
Asian-American Pacific
[4:55:47]
Islander, which I know you have
[4:55:48]
a large population of in your
[4:55:49]
district, Candace, and hear
[4:55:52]
about that a lot as well. Um,
[4:55:53]
in terms of mental health
[4:55:54]
services to youth and children
[4:55:56]
with focus on aapi. I mean,
[4:55:57]
that
[4:55:57]
s something we
[4:55:58]
ve heard.
[4:56:00]
So so what I did is listen to
[4:56:02]
the departments and, you know,
[4:56:03]
my own experience and the
[4:56:04]
measure. And that
[4:56:05]
s how I put
[4:56:07]
this together. Now, saying
[4:56:10]
that, I remember at the last
[4:56:12]
meeting we allocated, and this
[4:56:15]
is in that memo we had
[4:56:18]
allocated, um, I think it was
[4:56:22]
about, um, six somewhere around
[4:56:24]
$6 million out of the former
[4:56:25]
Arpa dollars, what we call the
[4:56:28]
Covid 19 fema General Reserve
[4:56:30]
Fund, the safe center, our Safe
[4:56:31]
Immigration center, stand
[4:56:34]
together refugee resettlement.
[4:56:37]
We we we allocated some funds
[4:56:38]
there. When I laid this out, it
[4:56:41]
was with the idea that some
[4:56:44]
could come from measure x, the
[4:56:45]
1.4 million out of measure x,
[4:56:47]
and some could come. These are
[4:56:49]
one time dollars from the
[4:56:50]
former Arpa funds. Because
[4:56:53]
remember when when we Arpa
[4:56:55]
right was under federal law was
[4:56:58]
to was to really close gaps and
[4:57:00]
address vulnerabilities and we
[4:57:01]
decided we would hold some of
[4:57:02]
those Arpa funds. I know that
[4:57:05]
the next item, but um, and make
[4:57:07]
sure we were paid back from the
[4:57:09]
federal government. So my
[4:57:12]
intention was raising these
[4:57:14]
investments out of both the
[4:57:16]
this a small amount of the of
[4:57:18]
the Arpa funds and the measure
[4:57:20]
x dollars. So I just want to be
[4:57:22]
clear, um, because there
[4:57:22]
s only
[4:57:23]
1.4 million in measure x, but
[4:57:24]
if we
[4:57:26]
re having to fund out of
[4:57:30]
measure x, I do think, um, the
[4:57:32]
highest, the highest priority
[4:57:36]
of the, the, the $500,000 for
[4:57:40]
the, for expansive services to
[4:57:43]
black males and the mental
[4:57:47]
health services for aapi. And
[4:57:49]
um and looking at the the
[4:57:52]
navigation and peer support
[4:57:55]
whereas the funding for the um
[4:57:57]
housing trust Fund, which would
[4:57:59]
be consistent with Arpa, could
[4:58:01]
that million and a half could
[4:58:02]
come out of the Arpa funds? So
[4:58:03]
that
[4:58:04]
s my thought. Is that the
[4:58:07]
that the 1.5 million
[4:58:09]
specifically for dcd and health
[4:58:11]
to the Housing Trust Fund could
[4:58:13]
come out of the Arpa, the the
[4:58:15]
former Arpa funds, but that
[4:58:16]
these others I didn
[4:58:17]
t specify I
[4:58:18]
wanted there to be more
[4:58:19]
discussion because I you all
[4:58:20]
have input on this as well, and
[4:58:23]
I value that. Um, but I put the
[4:58:25]
categories and that those that
[4:58:27]
could be how what we what comes
[4:58:30]
from out of the 1.4. Okay.
[4:58:32]
Dollars the the health mental
[4:58:34]
health dollars and the Office
[4:58:36]
of Racial Equity and Social
[4:58:37]
Justice African-Americans. So
[4:58:39]
that was my thinking for
[4:58:41]
discussion. Okay. Thank you for
[4:58:42]
that. And and then just to
[4:58:43]
clarify, too, I mean, um,
[4:58:45]
clarify the votes that we have
[4:58:47]
to have for measure x dollars.
[4:58:47]
That
[4:58:49]
s a 3/5 vote. I
[4:58:51]
understand. Uh, no, I think
[4:58:52]
measure x is 3/5, if I
[4:58:53]
m not
[4:58:56]
mistaken, and Arpa is 4/5. I
[4:58:57]
thought everything out of the
[4:58:59]
budget process is 4/5. Okay.
[4:59:00]
Yeah. We. Can do. It
[4:59:00]
s a little
[4:59:03]
more complicated. So with
[4:59:05]
measure. Oh come on I gave you
[4:59:06]
two choices. So it
[4:59:07]
s actually
[4:59:09]
both with measure x it
[4:59:10]
s a 3/5
[4:59:12]
vote. As long as the new
[4:59:13]
allocations stay within the
[4:59:14]
general fund, which is where it
[4:59:16]
will be budgeted for fiscal
[4:59:19]
year 2526. Anything crossing
[4:59:21]
funds such as, for instance, if
[4:59:23]
it went over to fire to the
[4:59:26]
library or certain parts of um,
[4:59:27]
health services, that would
[4:59:29]
require a 4/5 vote. And then
[4:59:32]
the Arpa requires 4/5. 4/5, no
[4:59:34]
matter. What our fifth fourth,
[4:59:36]
I thought all I we were told
[4:59:37]
m just trying to understand
[4:59:41]
this, all that that, um,
[4:59:44]
measure x funds, all measure x
[4:59:44]
funds if they
[4:59:45]
re not in the
[4:59:46]
budget. Explain. So we
[4:59:47]
understand it. Not in the
[4:59:50]
budget process. During the
[4:59:53]
budget hearing, our 4/5. Can I.
[4:59:55]
I just want to say, um, can we
[4:59:57]
just deal with measure x
[4:59:58]
because I do need to leave at a
[5:00:00]
certain time. And if we need
[5:00:02]
4/5. And the Arpa one. Is a one
[5:00:04]
fifths is a fifths is gone,
[5:00:04]
that
[5:00:05]
s going to make it even
[5:00:08]
more interesting. So just
[5:00:10]
explain briefly on that
[5:00:11]
process. Then we can get back
[5:00:13]
on the on the budget process
[5:00:16]
and measure x. So the budget
[5:00:18]
process depending on when
[5:00:18]
you
[5:00:19]
re making decisions and
[5:00:21]
what changes are being made to
[5:00:23]
the budget during the budget
[5:00:23]
hearings, if you
[5:00:25]
re doing it as
[5:00:28]
the recommended budget, um, and
[5:00:31]
then before the hearing closes,
[5:00:33]
if the changes are provided to
[5:00:35]
the clerk of the board in
[5:00:36]
writing before the hearing
[5:00:37]
closes, then that requires a
[5:00:40]
3/5 vote to make changes. Once
[5:00:42]
the hearing closes, then it
[5:00:44]
requires a 4/5 vote in order to
[5:00:46]
make additional changes. When
[5:00:48]
you get to the budget adoption.
[5:00:50]
Assuming there are no changes
[5:00:53]
to what was approved, what was
[5:00:55]
directed by the board at the
[5:00:56]
recommended budget hearing when
[5:00:58]
it gets to budget adoption,
[5:01:00]
that then requires, without any
[5:01:02]
further changes, a 3/5 vote. If
[5:01:03]
there are changes on that day.
[5:01:03]
If I
[5:01:04]
m not mistaken, that
[5:01:07]
requires a 4/5 vote. Bottom
[5:01:08]
line is, any allocations out of
[5:01:11]
the 1.4 million take what,
[5:01:11]
three? As long as they
[5:01:12]
re going
[5:01:14]
to general fund areas. If we
[5:01:16]
send them someplace else to
[5:01:18]
fire or different parts of
[5:01:19]
health, it would be 4/5. Got
[5:01:20]
it. Okay. To all of these.
[5:01:21]
There
[5:01:23]
s 3/5 okay. Got it. Okay.
[5:01:25]
One other question for Adam
[5:01:27]
before we continue discussion,
[5:01:29]
um, the issue of the needs
[5:01:31]
assessment, when are we
[5:01:33]
anticipating. Is it am I
[5:01:35]
correct in stating that the Cab
[5:01:37]
is charged with doing a needs
[5:01:39]
assessment every three years?
[5:01:41]
That is technically part of the
[5:01:42]
bylaws, correct? Okay. And are
[5:01:45]
we up on the three years? It
[5:01:45]
depends on how you
[5:01:46]
re counting
[5:01:48]
the three years. So if we start
[5:01:49]
with the needs assessment that
[5:01:50]
occurred at the beginning of
[5:01:52]
the formation of the mix cab,
[5:01:54]
we have then rolled upon to the
[5:01:56]
next three years. They have
[5:01:58]
been doing continuous needs
[5:01:59]
assessments over the entire.
[5:02:00]
Year, but we haven
[5:02:01]
t done a
[5:02:04]
comprehensive needs assessment
[5:02:06]
since the initial. And again,
[5:02:08]
this was the Cab made an
[5:02:10]
initial needs assessment when
[5:02:12]
we allocated. The bulk of the
[5:02:13]
funding. Is that correct? Have
[5:02:16]
three years expired since then.
[5:02:17]
They have okay. And that
[5:02:17]
s sort
[5:02:21]
of where I was coming with the
[5:02:23]
asking you about pottial
[5:02:24]
funding to help us with the
[5:02:25]
next needs assessment. It
[5:02:27]
something that we need to be
[5:02:27]
doing. It
[5:02:29]
s not just sort of an
[5:02:30]
optional. I had a few people
[5:02:32]
out in the community saying,
[5:02:34]
why do you want to spend
[5:02:35]
$250,000 on a consultant? It
[5:02:36]
because we need to do a new
[5:02:37]
needs assessment, and we want
[5:02:39]
it to be really comprehensive
[5:02:40]
so we know what the needs are
[5:02:41]
in the community. And we also
[5:02:42]
want to evaluate it. Is that
[5:02:45]
correct? Adam. That would
[5:02:46]
technically be following the
[5:02:47]
bylaws. Correct. Okay. Can I
[5:02:50]
ask you a question here? An
[5:02:51]
honest question. All all my
[5:02:53]
questions are honest. I know
[5:02:53]
you
[5:02:55]
ll see why. So I hear you
[5:02:56]
needs assessments I think are
[5:02:57]
valuable. And how they
[5:02:58]
re done
[5:02:58]
is important. I don
[5:03:00]
t disagree.
[5:03:03]
We have allocated just about
[5:03:05]
all the measure x money. There
[5:03:08]
is, and we MAY get some bits
[5:03:11]
and pieces going along. So the
[5:03:14]
question comes up when is the
[5:03:15]
right time to invest that
[5:03:18]
amount of money in a needs
[5:03:19]
assessment? Knowing that we
[5:03:20]
re
[5:03:21]
probably not going to have any
[5:03:23]
sizable measure x dollars to
[5:03:25]
invest for a couple of years.
[5:03:25]
That
[5:03:26]
s that
[5:03:26]
s my honest
[5:03:27]
question, because and that
[5:03:32]
that we bring in round numbers
[5:03:33]
120 million a year. Right. And
[5:03:34]
a lot of what we
[5:03:35]
ve done are
[5:03:36]
programmed in. We
[5:03:37]
ve programmed
[5:03:37]
well, there
[5:03:39]
s some pilot
[5:03:41]
programs. The. Question okay,
[5:03:42]
so so I
[5:03:43]
m what my I
[5:03:44]
m trying to
[5:03:46]
say the facts that we that we
[5:03:47]
will have some money maybe
[5:03:49]
coming out of some pilots. So
[5:03:49]
most of it
[5:03:51]
s been programmed.
[5:03:53]
So when is the right time to do
[5:03:54]
a needs assessment. Knowing
[5:03:54]
that we
[5:03:56]
re probably not. We
[5:03:56]
re
[5:03:58]
a couple years off from making
[5:04:01]
any real large new investments.
[5:04:03]
If even then. Okay, I believe
[5:04:05]
that we should be doing a needs
[5:04:07]
assessment every three years,
[5:04:08]
regardless of what our funding
[5:04:11]
is. I also strongly believe
[5:04:14]
that we should be analyzing the
[5:04:15]
efficacy of the existing
[5:04:16]
programs to ensure that they
[5:04:16]
re
[5:04:17]
doing what they
[5:04:18]
re doing. Those
[5:04:19]
are two different investments.
[5:04:19]
But but it
[5:04:21]
s part of the
[5:04:24]
$250,000 to me. We did, um, a
[5:04:28]
really good sort of figuring it
[5:04:29]
out as we went along. The cab
[5:04:31]
did a really good job spending
[5:04:33]
hours and hours figuring it
[5:04:34]
out, but I am still concerned
[5:04:35]
that we didn
[5:04:37]
t do it in a
[5:04:39]
strategic way that touched all
[5:04:40]
parts of the community. As a
[5:04:42]
county supervisor, I really
[5:04:44]
want a comprehensive
[5:04:45]
understanding of all of the
[5:04:47]
needs within Contra Costa
[5:04:49]
County, because we MAY find
[5:04:50]
that we maybe we
[5:04:51]
re going to
[5:04:53]
want to, um, start saving up
[5:04:54]
some of our measure x dollars
[5:04:55]
to do something more
[5:04:56]
meaningful. That
[5:04:56]
s something
[5:04:57]
else we can consider, but it
[5:04:59]
part of the Cab bylaws. It
[5:05:00]
something we
[5:05:01]
re supposed to be
[5:05:02]
doing. And rather than just
[5:05:05]
having this continual oh, you
[5:05:06]
know, I know of some people who
[5:05:07]
need help or I, you know, this
[5:05:08]
cbo
[5:05:09]
s coming to talk to me. I
[5:05:11]
want us to have. A resettlement
[5:05:12]
services. Well, I
[5:05:13]
m sorry.
[5:05:16]
What. Like the resettlement? My
[5:05:17]
point is, we all come into the
[5:05:20]
process. You do, I do. But. It
[5:05:22]
was it was identified by the
[5:05:23]
cab. I mean, I
[5:05:23]
m not
[5:05:25]
criticizing it. Well, and and
[5:05:27]
even Ruxin said that a lot of
[5:05:30]
this, uh, the foundation of a
[5:05:32]
lot of it was based on Covid,
[5:05:34]
and and that. And so we have
[5:05:35]
things are going. To feel it
[5:05:38]
incumbent on us as a board of
[5:05:41]
supervisors to have a keen
[5:05:42]
understanding of the needs of
[5:05:44]
our community. And when we have
[5:05:45]
this amount of measure x
[5:05:46]
dollars, if nothing else, to
[5:05:48]
validate and say we are
[5:05:50]
spending these appropriately,
[5:05:51]
because this is what our needs
[5:05:53]
assessment has validated. More
[5:05:54]
importantly or equally
[5:05:55]
important. But I think it
[5:05:56]
more important. I want a
[5:05:58]
process in place, um, to
[5:06:00]
evaluate the efficacy of the
[5:06:01]
programs, relying upon our
[5:06:01]
department heads, as we
[5:06:03]
discussed earlier. So that
[5:06:05]
was really my question for Adam
[5:06:07]
Schnell. Your question, you
[5:06:07]
re
[5:06:07]
you
[5:06:08]
re, um, you
[5:06:09]
re up next. And
[5:06:12]
we do have a time crunch. Diane
[5:06:14]
has a has to leave at 3 P.M..
[5:06:15]
She has an important hearing
[5:06:17]
out in Brentwood. A little
[5:06:19]
later, but. Are you doing that
[5:06:20]
fire station issue? She
[5:06:20]
s got a
[5:06:22]
fire station issue. We also
[5:06:23]
have a closed session that we
[5:06:25]
need to break for to go over
[5:06:27]
some matters. And we will need
[5:06:29]
to make a determination of
[5:06:30]
whether we want to continue the
[5:06:32]
Arpa matter, to give it more
[5:06:34]
time. If we want to. But I
[5:06:36]
love to bring to close the
[5:06:37]
measure x what we
[5:06:37]
re going to
[5:06:39]
do with it. Schnell. Please go.
[5:06:41]
And then can you go next? Quick
[5:06:43]
question. So, um, in terms of
[5:06:46]
the $250,000 to do the needs
[5:06:48]
assessment, um, does that have
[5:06:50]
to come out of the measure x
[5:06:52]
funds that come out of Arpa
[5:06:53]
funds? Could that come out of
[5:06:56]
some other pot of money? It
[5:06:57]
could come out of Arpa funds as
[5:06:59]
directed by the board? Yeah. It
[5:07:01]
could. Well, that would be
[5:07:03]
something I would like to see.
[5:07:03]
I understand the needs
[5:07:05]
assessment and to do that. And
[5:07:05]
it
[5:07:06]
s something that
[5:07:07]
s part of
[5:07:10]
our, um, that we listed to do
[5:07:11]
every three years. And it
[5:07:13]
important to have outcomes and
[5:07:14]
measures. Um, but I would like
[5:07:17]
to see that $250,000 to go to
[5:07:19]
the people, um, to meet their
[5:07:20]
needs as well. Um, especially
[5:07:23]
during this time. And so if we
[5:07:24]
can look at Arpa funds for
[5:07:28]
that. Thank you. I support that.
[5:07:30]
And anything else. Schnell.
[5:07:32]
With regard to your priorities
[5:07:33]
of where you would like to see
[5:07:37]
the 1.47 million going. I
[5:07:40]
support the memo that was
[5:07:43]
shared. Um, from the mix cap.
[5:07:44]
Um, in terms of where the
[5:07:47]
funding goes. Um, and, and I
[5:07:50]
know Supervisor Gioia also has
[5:07:52]
his, um, laid it out to the
[5:07:53]
different departments. And so
[5:07:55]
in terms of that, I know some
[5:07:56]
of the allocations are not
[5:07:57]
there, but that
[5:07:58]
s where I am
[5:08:00]
with those priorities. Great.
[5:08:00]
Thank you. Ken, let
[5:08:02]
s take your
[5:08:02]
comments. So I
[5:08:03]
ll go back to
[5:08:05]
needs assessment. And I really
[5:08:07]
just want to I want to call it
[5:08:09]
a success assessment. Um,
[5:08:11]
because you know, we continue
[5:08:12]
to get requests over and over
[5:08:15]
and over again about the same
[5:08:16]
continuing issues, whether it
[5:08:18]
food insecurity, housing
[5:08:19]
insecurity, racial disparities,
[5:08:20]
all these different things. And
[5:08:20]
ll just I
[5:08:22]
ll just share, um,
[5:08:25]
you know, we have a request for
[5:08:27]
rental assistance, and it
[5:08:28]
s not
[5:08:31]
other than to just kind of, uh,
[5:08:32]
validate my point in the sense
[5:08:34]
of, look, we are putting in the
[5:08:36]
three last three budget cycles,
[5:08:37]
which includes this current
[5:08:39]
budget cycle. We have invested
[5:08:43]
almost $9.3 million into rental
[5:08:44]
assistance. So I get it. We
[5:08:44]
re
[5:08:46]
not going to save the world.
[5:08:49]
But again, we have increased
[5:08:51]
our investment in this budget
[5:08:53]
cycle with measures dollars
[5:08:56]
over 1.5 million already. So at
[5:08:56]
what point when we
[5:08:57]
re sitting
[5:08:57]
here and we
[5:08:59]
re having to carve
[5:09:02]
up the baby, you know, who gets
[5:09:04]
the bigger piece and where? And
[5:09:06]
so are we meeting the needs?
[5:09:09]
Are we truly in being
[5:09:10]
successful? And I get it.
[5:09:10]
There
[5:09:12]
s outside factors at
[5:09:14]
play. But I really want to know
[5:09:14]
that we
[5:09:16]
re closing some gaps
[5:09:17]
because it sure doesn
[5:09:17]
t feel
[5:09:18]
like that as people come
[5:09:20]
knocking on the door saying,
[5:09:24]
you have money, we need it. Um,
[5:09:26]
m still of the mindset and I
[5:09:28]
know this is totally off the
[5:09:30]
rails, but measure x, stay with
[5:09:33]
measure x, and that is we need
[5:09:34]
to support the services we
[5:09:34]
re
[5:09:36]
already investing in. And I
[5:09:38]
would rather see our measure x
[5:09:40]
dollars go to that. We have the
[5:09:42]
Arpa funds. And I would still
[5:09:44]
chant some caution there
[5:09:46]
because the the tsunami has not
[5:09:49]
hit us yet. The tide is drawing
[5:09:50]
out and we don
[5:09:50]
t know what
[5:09:52]
coming. And I want to be really
[5:09:56]
careful that when it does hit
[5:09:56]
us that we
[5:09:58]
re prepared in some
[5:10:01]
way. Um, and preventative, let
[5:10:02]
alone restorative work that we
[5:10:05]
can do. So when we talk about
[5:10:08]
moving into the next item, um,
[5:10:10]
just from life experience and
[5:10:11]
just from reaching out to the
[5:10:13]
community, investment in our
[5:10:16]
African American males in a
[5:10:18]
preventative way that gets them
[5:10:20]
the resources to keep them out
[5:10:22]
of the issues within our
[5:10:24]
schools, provide them economic
[5:10:25]
opportunities, educational
[5:10:26]
opportunities, let alone the
[5:10:28]
restorative side based on their
[5:10:31]
interactions with the criminal
[5:10:34]
justice system is absolutely
[5:10:35]
should be a priority. And based
[5:10:37]
on our work on the on the
[5:10:38]
African American Holistic
[5:10:40]
Wellness Resource Hub, there,
[5:10:42]
it was created with this
[5:10:43]
umbrella vision in mind. Let
[5:10:45]
get the services to the African
[5:10:47]
American community. And that
[5:10:48]
was all those things we
[5:10:49]
ve
[5:10:51]
talked about. But nothing
[5:10:53]
specific to something so
[5:10:56]
important. And that has been,
[5:10:58]
um, evident in front of us. And
[5:11:00]
it was clear that in many
[5:11:01]
conversations, uh, before and
[5:11:03]
then again with the programming
[5:11:05]
and the request for the
[5:11:07]
innovation grant. So, um, I.
[5:11:08]
Would just that
[5:11:09]
s 750 if you
[5:11:10]
re
[5:11:12]
doing 250 for the assessment,
[5:11:14]
500 for African American males.
[5:11:15]
What is your proposal. To use?
[5:11:18]
My proposal is that we invest
[5:11:22]
1.7 into measure Ex Cola. What
[5:11:23]
move all our funding requests
[5:11:25]
to Arpa and deal with them in
[5:11:27]
an hour. You know, one by one
[5:11:29]
Arpa request. So that
[5:11:30]
s just a
[5:11:30]
proposal. It
[5:11:31]
s just something.
[5:11:32]
To think. What do you invest? I
[5:11:32]
don
[5:11:33]
t. Understand, we
[5:11:33]
re not
[5:11:36]
talking about Arpa. This this
[5:11:37]
point. And there
[5:11:38]
s some
[5:11:40]
information about fema and some
[5:11:43]
other things related to the
[5:11:45]
Arpa money that I think we need
[5:11:47]
to talk about when we get to
[5:11:48]
there. So we
[5:11:49]
re right now just
[5:11:50]
talking about measure x and. I.
[5:11:51]
Correct. So you would your
[5:11:52]
recommendation move all of it
[5:11:54]
into the Cola or the 250. You
[5:11:56]
said keep measure x and measure
[5:11:58]
x. Did you mean keep the needs
[5:11:59]
assessment out of measure x
[5:12:01]
dollars or were you. Yes, I
[5:12:03]
would put it all into Cola. You
[5:12:05]
would try and keep everyone we
[5:12:06]
are funding and everybody we
[5:12:08]
are supporting as whole. As
[5:12:09]
possible. We already make we
[5:12:11]
already made a decision to
[5:12:13]
increase the Cola. No, but he.
[5:12:14]
Would do. More, right? We have
[5:12:16]
to bring it on a realistic
[5:12:17]
number, right? Wasn
[5:12:18]
t even 2%.
[5:12:19]
Know what our shortfall will be
[5:12:23]
on the Cola yet. Do we? But we
[5:12:24]
need to. We know what that
[5:12:24]
would be. I wouldn
[5:12:25]
t be fine
[5:12:28]
with taking that as well. Out
[5:12:29]
of Arpa. You would rather do. I
[5:12:31]
would like to say I want I want
[5:12:32]
to make sure we
[5:12:33]
re as close to
[5:12:35]
keeping the services, the
[5:12:37]
investments we made as whole.
[5:12:38]
Okay? So stick with what we
[5:12:38]
re
[5:12:39]
doing. But you would put it all
[5:12:41]
into the cola. Okay, Diane, you
[5:12:43]
would put all. Where would you
[5:12:44]
put your money? When did you
[5:12:46]
get to say everything? I want
[5:12:47]
to make sure. He just. Said, I
[5:12:48]
want to make sure you got to
[5:12:49]
say everything you wanted to
[5:12:59]
say. Okay. Um. So I am really
[5:13:00]
thinking about I
[5:13:02]
ve been using
[5:13:02]
Maslow
[5:13:05]
s hierarchy of needs
[5:13:09]
food, shelter. You know,
[5:13:10]
health, those kind of things
[5:13:13]
for everybody. What stands out
[5:13:16]
for me is food insecurity,
[5:13:20]
rental assistance, helping. Um,
[5:13:23]
with child care and disabled
[5:13:24]
children. Those were all things
[5:13:26]
that have really stood out to
[5:13:29]
me. I think an investment in
[5:13:33]
our African American males is a
[5:13:35]
smart investment, but I think
[5:13:39]
it needs to be I, I would want
[5:13:42]
to know more details, but I
[5:13:45]
think that for everything that
[5:13:47]
folks have said, the
[5:13:50]
investment, uh, of improving
[5:13:50]
someone
[5:13:52]
s life, of giving them,
[5:13:55]
you know, opportunities is a
[5:14:01]
good thing. So I as far as the,
[5:14:06]
um, the measure x money, I, I
[5:14:09]
kind of got the, the idea from
[5:14:13]
Adam that, that if we upped the
[5:14:16]
cola, that might not be
[5:14:21]
sustainable. It depends on on
[5:14:25]
how you defining it. If we give
[5:14:27]
this cola is are we going to be
[5:14:28]
able to afford to to keep up
[5:14:32]
with that on the budget. Yes.
[5:14:34]
For next year. So if for fiscal
[5:14:38]
year 26, 27, um, after this one
[5:14:40]
goes through, if we were to
[5:14:41]
take the existing Cola, which
[5:14:45]
right now is 1.8% right. Um,
[5:14:49]
m sorry, 1.97% is what we
[5:14:52]
currently have. If we were to,
[5:14:54]
um, implement what Supervisor
[5:14:55]
Carlson is suggesting, that
[5:14:57]
would add roughly about 1% on
[5:14:58]
top of that, and that would
[5:15:00]
bring it to. Almost three, a
[5:15:03]
little over 3%. Okay. So that
[5:15:06]
then brings the budget to, um,
[5:15:08]
a higher amount that actually
[5:15:09]
than if you just basically take
[5:15:12]
next year. Um, and what is
[5:15:14]
projected by the sales tax
[5:15:15]
consultants as being the new
[5:15:17]
revenue that comes in on top of
[5:15:19]
that, then we would apply, it
[5:15:20]
would sustain one. The new
[5:15:22]
baseline that you set for all
[5:15:23]
the different allocations, and
[5:15:25]
it would allow us to continue
[5:15:27]
to add on top of that as well
[5:15:28]
for for next year
[5:15:28]
s revenues,
[5:15:30]
for for the increased revenue
[5:15:30]
that
[5:15:31]
s projected at this point.
[5:15:33]
And would that be both the one
[5:15:35]
time some of our one time, or
[5:15:37]
is it only for our ongoing.
[5:15:38]
That would be so. And that
[5:15:38]
s a
[5:15:39]
good clarification. So what
[5:15:41]
would be applied now is one
[5:15:43]
time dollars. But it would set
[5:15:45]
a new ongoing expectation or
[5:15:47]
baseline next year when the new
[5:15:48]
revenues come in, it
[5:15:49]
ll level
[5:15:51]
out to to to be that and also
[5:15:52]
provide additional buffer. It
[5:15:53]
also worth noting in terms of
[5:15:55]
how you think about
[5:15:57]
sustainability. If it turned
[5:15:59]
out that for whatever reason,
[5:16:00]
revenues sharply dropped and
[5:16:01]
they don
[5:16:02]
t come in and the
[5:16:04]
projections are also lower, we
[5:16:06]
also still have the measure x
[5:16:07]
contingency or the measure x
[5:16:08]
reserve that would help to
[5:16:10]
sustain those revenues. And
[5:16:10]
that
[5:16:10]
s in part what it
[5:16:12]
intended to do to basically
[5:16:14]
wait until the revenues do
[5:16:15]
catch back up when they
[5:16:17]
increase again, and then it
[5:16:19]
would smooth that revenue flow
[5:16:20]
and sustain all the allocations
[5:16:21]
and that, and there
[5:16:23]
sufficient enough funding in
[5:16:24]
there to, to to maintain that
[5:16:26]
and to smooth it out over
[5:16:28]
multiple years. Okay. And so
[5:16:29]
then the other question I had
[5:16:31]
on the, um, African American
[5:16:36]
male, um, project, is that a
[5:16:38]
one time dollar type of thing?
[5:16:40]
Is that an ongoing request? We
[5:16:41]
have one time dollars we don
[5:16:42]
have. I know, but I
[5:16:44]
m trying to
[5:16:46]
ask some clarifications. This
[5:16:49]
would be one time. And is that
[5:16:52]
a sustainable investment at
[5:16:57]
this point? I
[5:16:58]
m okay. I
[5:16:59]
m just
[5:17:01]
m trying to be really I hate
[5:17:03]
to start something and then
[5:17:04]
have it not continue. And
[5:17:04]
that
[5:17:05]
s that
[5:17:05]
s kind of what I
[5:17:09]
trying to do. So those were my
[5:17:13]
questions. And um, we will go
[5:17:15]
on to the Arpa funds later. We
[5:17:18]
will. But my my question also
[5:17:22]
about one time would the
[5:17:24]
recipients of one time funding
[5:17:27]
also be beneficiaries of the
[5:17:29]
Cola in at all? I mean, if we
[5:17:31]
had made an allocation of one
[5:17:33]
time funding for, you know,
[5:17:35]
food insecure, would they
[5:17:36]
receive any of that or would it
[5:17:38]
just be for our ongoing. So the
[5:17:40]
the way it has been applied in
[5:17:41]
the past has been to take the
[5:17:43]
Cola and put it onto the
[5:17:45]
ongoing allocations. Only the
[5:17:47]
one time allocations have
[5:17:49]
always been excluded. If the
[5:17:50]
board chose to add some
[5:17:51]
additional funds to one time.
[5:17:52]
You could. Clarify, but that
[5:17:55]
not the way we have treated it.
[5:17:57]
Okay. Um, so where I am on all
[5:18:01]
of this is it is a really small
[5:18:04]
amount of money. Um, I am fine
[5:18:07]
making allocations and
[5:18:08]
spreading across the board,
[5:18:09]
splitting the baby. In many
[5:18:11]
ways, I would have preferred to
[5:18:14]
do the $250,000, um, for
[5:18:15]
measure x out of measure x
[5:18:17]
dollars, simply because every
[5:18:17]
three years I think we
[5:18:18]
re going
[5:18:20]
to need to fund this. And I
[5:18:21]
love to get it in there. Yes,
[5:18:23]
we could use one time Arpa
[5:18:25]
dollars to do that. If that is
[5:18:26]
the the direction the board is
[5:18:30]
going to go. Um, I think you
[5:18:32]
know it really, this is such a
[5:18:35]
small amount. What what I would
[5:18:37]
maybe, as a compromise, suggest
[5:18:40]
that we reduce the amount for
[5:18:43]
now going to, you know, maybe
[5:18:44]
$250,000 going to the African
[5:18:47]
American males as, um, as some
[5:18:49]
funding for that. And then
[5:18:51]
distribute that. I think all of
[5:18:52]
what John
[5:18:53]
s outlined, which are
[5:18:54]
pretty much the priorities of
[5:18:55]
the Cab, I don
[5:18:56]
t have a problem
[5:18:57]
with this allocating it because
[5:18:57]
it
[5:18:58]
s not a lot of money. It
[5:19:01]
just not out there. So that
[5:19:03]
would be my suggestion that we
[5:19:06]
do. And we just sort of evenly,
[5:19:07]
um, you know, put in we
[5:19:08]
ve got
[5:19:10]
family, early childhood, family
[5:19:11]
support, increased innovation
[5:19:13]
fund dollars for programs. Um,
[5:19:13]
we
[5:19:15]
ve got that for and I
[5:19:16]
making sure this is the cab I
[5:19:18]
going to go down to John years.
[5:19:21]
Um, so I would suggest 250 for
[5:19:25]
the African American male as,
[5:19:26]
m starting out. Thank you for
[5:19:29]
not creating a a mess for me.
[5:19:32]
Um, and then moving down, we go
[5:19:35]
into the peer parent peer
[5:19:35]
support. And you don
[5:19:36]
t want it
[5:19:38]
so small that nothing can be
[5:19:38]
done. But let
[5:19:40]
s go ahead, um,
[5:19:42]
and talk about the child Abuse
[5:19:44]
Prevention Council. If we did
[5:19:47]
another, say, 200 there and we
[5:19:49]
did another 200 for. When you
[5:19:51]
say it goes through esd and.
[5:19:53]
Right, right. And so then I so
[5:19:55]
I would say 200 for parent peer
[5:19:58]
support services, another 200
[5:20:00]
for expanding family navigation
[5:20:03]
services. And then the um, the
[5:20:05]
question would be, I know you
[5:20:06]
mentioned food insecurity. Do
[5:20:07]
you want. It
[5:20:08]
s not on John
[5:20:10]
list. Would you like us? I I
[5:20:14]
willing to go to the next item.
[5:20:16]
Okay. After we have lunch and
[5:20:17]
talk about food insecurity,
[5:20:18]
because I think that
[5:20:19]
s very
[5:20:20]
consistent with Arpa. But we
[5:20:21]
re
[5:20:22]
not talking about Arpa, are we,
[5:20:22]
Tom? We
[5:20:23]
re not talking about
[5:20:25]
Arpa yet. No. And so then we
[5:20:25]
ve
[5:20:27]
got housing funds. And the
[5:20:28]
question. Is, and I think of
[5:20:30]
the same thing there. You think
[5:20:31]
that I
[5:20:32]
m sorry, the housing,
[5:20:34]
the measure housing funds
[5:20:36]
because we could then, um, put
[5:20:37]
in additional housing funds in
[5:20:39]
there. Um, I
[5:20:40]
m, I
[5:20:41]
m inclined to
[5:20:43]
throw in with the measure ex
[5:20:44]
money, some additional food
[5:20:46]
security money, just because
[5:20:48]
that has been a major
[5:20:49]
discussion, which would then
[5:20:53]
give us two, four, six, 850,000
[5:20:54]
on that. And then I make sure
[5:20:55]
m understanding what you
[5:20:55]
re
[5:20:57]
saying. If you
[5:20:57]
re saying and by
[5:21:00]
the way, I, I think for those
[5:21:02]
who are listening, there MAY be
[5:21:04]
further discussion under the
[5:21:07]
Arpa dollars of. Oh, we can we
[5:21:08]
can definitely. But I
[5:21:08]
m just.
[5:21:09]
Saying, you
[5:21:10]
re saying 250 on
[5:21:12]
the African American on black
[5:21:16]
males. 250 for the study. And I
[5:21:18]
have comments I want to make
[5:21:20]
about that for a second. And
[5:21:20]
you
[5:21:23]
re saying 200 on peer
[5:21:26]
support, 200 on family
[5:21:27]
navigation. That
[5:21:28]
s 900,000. The
[5:21:31]
the mental health for aapi
[5:21:34]
youth is a high priority. Um,
[5:21:39]
and and I mean, frankly, um,
[5:21:42]
that, um. Well, we. Could
[5:21:44]
amount should be more than 200.
[5:21:46]
It could be two. You know, I
[5:21:46]
don
[5:21:48]
t know. Can I have just
[5:21:50]
Mala come up for a second as we
[5:21:53]
look at these numbers? Because
[5:21:54]
although the mental health for
[5:21:56]
aapi was health, but the peer
[5:21:59]
support and family navigation,
[5:22:00]
I took your input on some of
[5:22:02]
this if you want to. And then
[5:22:03]
if, if the health department
[5:22:05]
wants to comment about aapi,
[5:22:06]
they can help inform us.
[5:22:08]
Candace. And just through the
[5:22:09]
chair, would it be possible I
[5:22:11]
know during the budget process,
[5:22:13]
Adam was able to put on the
[5:22:14]
screen the different pots and
[5:22:15]
we could kind of. Figure out
[5:22:17]
how are your your your screen,
[5:22:18]
do you have a spreadsheet ready
[5:22:23]
to pull up? Okay. Wow. How are
[5:22:25]
you doing? Thank you for doing
[5:22:26]
that. No, no. And that
[5:22:29]
s good.
[5:22:31]
Okay. A few minutes to get on
[5:22:32]
to zoom and then to to put it
[5:22:33]
up. And while she
[5:22:34]
s coming up,
[5:22:36]
what I was going to say, if the
[5:22:37]
study is going to come out of
[5:22:39]
these dollars, we
[5:22:40]
d want, I
[5:22:41]
think, to have further
[5:22:42]
discussion about the role of
[5:22:45]
the rm cab. We need to have.
[5:22:47]
That because it is absolutely
[5:22:49]
imperative that rm cab be
[5:22:52]
involved. Uh, in, in that study
[5:22:52]
process, I just want to make
[5:22:53]
sure that that
[5:22:54]
s a condition as
[5:22:57]
we allocate the dollars. I
[5:22:59]
agree, and I wanted to bring
[5:23:01]
back the whole issue of the
[5:23:02]
role of the rm cab as a
[5:23:04]
separate agenda item coming
[5:23:05]
forward, where we can clarify
[5:23:07]
that and their role in both the
[5:23:09]
needs assessment and the
[5:23:11]
evaluation process. So, Mala, I
[5:23:12]
think what John is asking you
[5:23:15]
for the, um. Peer support,
[5:23:17]
family navigation, how best to
[5:23:22]
look at that fund? Yes. Are you
[5:23:24]
asking me specifically to
[5:23:25]
describe what that. Might look
[5:23:26]
like? And what if we
[5:23:26]
re trying
[5:23:28]
to you know, I know the need is
[5:23:29]
much greater. And there was
[5:23:31]
this view of 200 each a or
[5:23:33]
five, I mean, just any thoughts
[5:23:36]
you have about needs. Okay. Um,
[5:23:39]
so the, the. Parent peer
[5:23:40]
partners. Is a fantastic model
[5:23:42]
that we have right now that we.
[5:23:44]
Contract through. Um, the.
[5:23:46]
Child Abuse and Prevention
[5:23:49]
Council and we this is, um,
[5:23:50]
parents who have been through
[5:23:52]
the child welfare system
[5:23:52]
successfully. And then they
[5:23:53]
work as peer. Partners for
[5:23:54]
parents that are currently in
[5:23:56]
the child welfare system. Um,
[5:23:58]
we. Know that there are many
[5:23:59]
families that get referred to
[5:24:01]
us in child welfare. And we do
[5:24:02]
not open. A case because it
[5:24:04]
not a child abuse case. It
[5:24:06]
that the family is having
[5:24:07]
difficulties in many other
[5:24:08]
ways, and we refer those
[5:24:09]
families out for services. It
[5:24:12]
called differential response.
[5:24:14]
So our suggestion here is to
[5:24:17]
expand the parent parent peer
[5:24:19]
program as a differential
[5:24:21]
response program. Um, for
[5:24:21]
families that come to our
[5:24:22]
attention through the child
[5:24:24]
welfare system for whom abuse
[5:24:25]
is not the issue, it
[5:24:25]
s that the
[5:24:28]
family has, um, a variety of
[5:24:31]
needs. With $200,000 make a
[5:24:32]
difference. I mean, that
[5:24:34]
again, when you start splitting
[5:24:36]
things up too small. It
[5:24:36]
s not
[5:24:39]
overly helpful. With $200,000.
[5:24:41]
Make a difference. Would it be
[5:24:43]
better to, um, focus on one of
[5:24:46]
the two programs at a greater
[5:24:47]
amount to make more of a
[5:24:48]
difference? Because there are
[5:24:49]
two programs, both expand
[5:24:51]
family navigation services to
[5:24:53]
children under six, family
[5:24:54]
support services to strengthen
[5:24:56]
protective factors for
[5:24:58]
families. Um, if we allocated
[5:24:59]
$200,000 to each of those,
[5:25:01]
would that be meaningful or
[5:25:02]
would it be just a drop in the
[5:25:05]
bucket? So my suggestion here
[5:25:05]
is that it
[5:25:06]
s very hard for us
[5:25:08]
to stand up new programs. So I
[5:25:09]
think if we
[5:25:10]
re talking about
[5:25:11]
amount an amount like $200,000,
[5:25:12]
I would suggest that we add
[5:25:14]
that to an existing contract we
[5:25:15]
have. And then in that way it
[5:25:18]
helpful. One parent peer can
[5:25:20]
help 25 families a month on
[5:25:22]
average. So yeah, $200,000 will
[5:25:24]
serve more families. And then
[5:25:26]
in terms of the navigation for
[5:25:28]
families with children 0 to 5
[5:25:29]
and maybe focused on, um, kids
[5:25:31]
that have disabilities, we
[5:25:32]
already have relationships,
[5:25:33]
contractual relationships with
[5:25:35]
both first five and Coco, kids
[5:25:37]
that do similar work. We would
[5:25:38]
add to one or both of those
[5:25:39]
contracts. So I think it
[5:25:41]
really a decision for you as
[5:25:43]
the board. So it would the
[5:25:44]
$200,000 would go toward
[5:25:45]
meaningful existing programs,
[5:25:47]
and that would be helpful.
[5:25:48]
Yeah. Can I just ask on the
[5:25:50]
peer support? Yes. We
[5:25:50]
re
[5:25:52]
talking kids with disabilities
[5:25:54]
or or challenges, not
[5:25:56]
necessarily those in
[5:25:58]
interacting with our welfare
[5:26:00]
systems or the that
[5:26:00]
s what
[5:26:03]
First Fives request is, is for
[5:26:03]
kids. And that
[5:26:04]
s what the
[5:26:05]
public comment we heard was
[5:26:07]
specifically for disabled or
[5:26:08]
those facing disabilities. And
[5:26:10]
that would be the 200 that we
[5:26:11]
would use to expand a contract
[5:26:13]
with either first five or Coco
[5:26:15]
kids. And yes, we would focus
[5:26:17]
it on what you request. Us to
[5:26:18]
navigate. What will we just.
[5:26:18]
That
[5:26:19]
s the that
[5:26:19]
s the navigator
[5:26:20]
one. That
[5:26:20]
s the navigator. I
[5:26:22]
talking peer support and
[5:26:23]
navigator. Invest in parent.
[5:26:24]
Peer support is a different
[5:26:26]
program. I thought that the
[5:26:27]
peer support what we heard was
[5:26:29]
a lot of it was the need for
[5:26:31]
parents of young children with
[5:26:33]
disability delays and
[5:26:35]
developmental concerns. You
[5:26:37]
agree with that? Bart? There
[5:26:38]
two different programs. There
[5:26:39]
that. And then they I think
[5:26:41]
they were saying that for the
[5:26:43]
parent peer support. Remember
[5:26:46]
we heard the comments about the
[5:26:48]
children with disabilities
[5:26:49]
delays and and developmental
[5:26:51]
concerns. You agree that that
[5:26:53]
a priority. That that. Policy
[5:26:55]
align with the programming you
[5:26:57]
were talking about. As far as
[5:26:59]
peer support. My suggestion is
[5:27:01]
that that population would be
[5:27:02]
easier for us to serve through
[5:27:04]
the contracts we currently have
[5:27:06]
with first five and Coco kids.
[5:27:07]
Yes. And it could be focused on
[5:27:08]
families that have children
[5:27:11]
with disabilities. Right. Okay.
[5:27:12]
And then the family navigation,
[5:27:14]
you can still add to an
[5:27:16]
existing contract. Or is that
[5:27:17]
new? Both of them would be an
[5:27:19]
existing contract. So the 200
[5:27:21]
in each still adds value. Is
[5:27:21]
what you
[5:27:22]
re saying. Yes it
[5:27:23]
does. That
[5:27:24]
s what we just
[5:27:25]
heard. Okay. And then with
[5:27:28]
regard to um, the Asian the.
[5:27:28]
Aapi that
[5:27:29]
s health would
[5:27:31]
probably be better informed.
[5:27:34]
Doctor Takano okay. Doctor
[5:27:37]
civilly on aapi, I know there
[5:27:43]
a need for youth and aapi.
[5:27:45]
Yeah. Or if you can shed some
[5:27:46]
light, the question we
[5:27:46]
re right
[5:27:48]
now sort of looking at the
[5:27:50]
$200,000 range. Is it an
[5:27:52]
existing program or would. You
[5:27:52]
be I don
[5:27:53]
t think we identified
[5:27:55]
a dollar amount there yet. I
[5:27:56]
said. No, and we haven
[5:27:56]
t just
[5:27:57]
that
[5:27:58]
s the general number we
[5:27:58]
re
[5:28:02]
looking at. I think if, um, if
[5:28:03]
we had to prioritize between.
[5:28:05]
The two proposals that came
[5:28:06]
from. Health, I think there
[5:28:06]
s.
[5:28:07]
The aapi and there
[5:28:08]
s. The
[5:28:10]
housing for youth. And I think.
[5:28:13]
The I was just to be clear that
[5:28:14]
you talking about that
[5:28:16]
allocation, housing for youth,
[5:28:16]
that
[5:28:17]
s separate. And that was
[5:28:18]
going to be a discussion out of
[5:28:20]
the Arpa funds, possibly
[5:28:22]
because that was a larger that
[5:28:24]
was that was this whole, uh,
[5:28:27]
health dcd rfp process. There
[5:28:29]
a need for that. But that would
[5:28:29]
be that
[5:28:31]
s capital. And that MAY
[5:28:32]
be Arpa. Okay. That
[5:28:33]
s what. I.
[5:28:34]
Was going. To say. Is with the.
[5:28:35]
Recent hud funding. And the
[5:28:36]
housing. Issues. We
[5:28:37]
re getting.
[5:28:37]
That
[5:28:38]
s, a. That
[5:28:40]
s a priority.
[5:28:45]
With the aa. Um. We have some,
[5:28:46]
um, nonprofits. In the
[5:28:47]
community that could. Do. Some
[5:28:48]
needs assessment. It
[5:28:49]
s hard to
[5:28:50]
really. Create. A program. With
[5:28:53]
one time money ongoing. You
[5:28:56]
know? So I. Think, um. You
[5:28:56]
know, it
[5:28:57]
s something that we
[5:28:59]
could do. Something with, but
[5:28:59]
it
[5:29:01]
s not our. Highest priority.
[5:29:03]
Right now. Okay. So you. Would
[5:29:03]
you
[5:29:05]
d rather see housing some
[5:29:07]
additional funding. Or was it.
[5:29:08]
Some somebody from health?
[5:29:09]
Maybe it was. Doctor Takano
[5:29:11]
said something similar, but
[5:29:12]
said what
[5:29:15]
s possibly valuable
[5:29:18]
is what was it called? It was,
[5:29:21]
um, was looking at needs. What
[5:29:22]
are you saying, Suzanne? You
[5:29:24]
were saying if it
[5:29:24]
s one time
[5:29:26]
money, there needs to be
[5:29:27]
additional identification of
[5:29:29]
the needs in the aapi. Hi. Good
[5:29:31]
afternoon. Yeah. What I was
[5:29:32]
saying is one time funding is
[5:29:34]
very difficult for setting up
[5:29:35]
programs. If there was, if it
[5:29:36]
were one time funding would
[5:29:38]
really recommend it would be.
[5:29:40]
For. Outreach, engagement. And
[5:29:41]
really doing a community
[5:29:43]
assessment of what the kids
[5:29:45]
need. Um, I. Would also just.
[5:29:48]
To add to the conversation, the
[5:29:50]
1.4 million that was awarded
[5:29:53]
last year under measure x for
[5:29:55]
um children services for
[5:29:56]
children, I think there was a
[5:29:57]
little bit of a
[5:29:59]
misunderstanding. The 100,000
[5:30:00]
that keeps being referenced for
[5:30:02]
school age was, in fact, one of
[5:30:06]
the awards we received 42
[5:30:07]
applications. There were six
[5:30:09]
awards. And all of the awards
[5:30:11]
addressed the needs of
[5:30:14]
children. 700,000 was for early
[5:30:15]
0 to 5. The remainder of the
[5:30:17]
money was for adolescent uh,
[5:30:19]
middle school and high school
[5:30:20]
children. And this is separate.
[5:30:20]
Don
[5:30:21]
t we do a lot of funding
[5:30:24]
through EPs for youth? I mean
[5:30:24]
people I don
[5:30:25]
t want to get data
[5:30:26]
that people think that the only
[5:30:28]
money we allocate to mental
[5:30:30]
health for youth is measure x
[5:30:30]
money. Don
[5:30:31]
t we put in
[5:30:34]
significant money through EPs?
[5:30:34]
Yes. There
[5:30:36]
s periodic
[5:30:37]
screening, diagnosis and
[5:30:38]
treatment. Yeah. For for youth
[5:30:41]
that are Medi-Cal eligible
[5:30:42]
receive Medi-Cal benefits. We
[5:30:45]
do draw on a good amount of
[5:30:48]
funding under the EPs. Oh I
[5:30:49]
have to come back and tell you
[5:30:51]
exactly what it is. It
[5:30:52]
millions. Yeah, it
[5:30:53]
s millions.
[5:30:55]
And those are, um, through
[5:30:57]
county operated programs and
[5:30:59]
also through contracted
[5:31:00]
programs. But then also under
[5:31:02]
the Mental Health Services Act,
[5:31:04]
we have um, programs under
[5:31:06]
prevention, early Intervention,
[5:31:08]
and also community defined
[5:31:09]
practices. So that
[5:31:09]
s really
[5:31:11]
where more of that outreach.
[5:31:13]
And just to ask you, I know
[5:31:13]
we
[5:31:14]
re trying to move this along
[5:31:18]
for Diane. So if since to
[5:31:19]
putting one time money into
[5:31:20]
increasing mental health
[5:31:21]
services, I hear you is not
[5:31:24]
necessarily a lot of value. Um,
[5:31:27]
it would be doing a one time
[5:31:28]
outreach and tell me what that
[5:31:29]
would be, because we could put
[5:31:30]
money toward that which would
[5:31:32]
pay more as we get more money.
[5:31:35]
What was it was doing outreach
[5:31:37]
for needs? Tell me what that
[5:31:39]
is. So yeah, when we talked
[5:31:42]
about this recently, um, one
[5:31:43]
time funding is very difficult
[5:31:45]
for ongoing programs. If
[5:31:47]
anything, it would be really
[5:31:49]
outreach and engagement in the
[5:31:50]
community, outreaching with the
[5:31:52]
youth in the community, doing a
[5:31:55]
needs assessment of what is
[5:31:56]
needed that is not already
[5:31:58]
being provided, how best to
[5:31:59]
provide those services. And how
[5:32:00]
much, what
[5:32:01]
s the range of what
[5:32:04]
that would involve? Well, if we
[5:32:05]
basically going back to a
[5:32:06]
previous conversation that
[5:32:07]
someone was having, since we
[5:32:08]
re
[5:32:09]
already contracting with a
[5:32:11]
number of several agencies
[5:32:14]
serving this population, adding
[5:32:15]
some funding to them, or it
[5:32:17]
could be something different,
[5:32:18]
as we know. With what. Would it
[5:32:20]
be for what you just talked
[5:32:20]
about. I I
[5:32:21]
m very sorry. I
[5:32:21]
don
[5:32:22]
t have a dollar amount to
[5:32:23]
put on that. Yeah. It
[5:32:25]
s very
[5:32:26]
difficult. We
[5:32:26]
re we
[5:32:26]
re
[5:32:27]
currently and it
[5:32:28]
s putting all
[5:32:29]
these pieces together. We
[5:32:29]
re
[5:32:31]
currently doing a very large
[5:32:33]
community outreach and
[5:32:35]
community planning process for
[5:32:37]
behavioral health
[5:32:39]
transformation, and will be
[5:32:40]
identifying needs there as
[5:32:41]
well. So I don
[5:32:41]
t have a dollar
[5:32:44]
amount to put on an outreach
[5:32:46]
engagement assessment for aapi
[5:32:48]
at this time. We
[5:32:49]
re trying to
[5:32:50]
allocate some money in your we
[5:32:53]
want you to help us. I mean,
[5:32:54]
you know, your department
[5:32:56]
director for mental health. You
[5:32:57]
should give us a range of how
[5:32:58]
you could help us if. We
[5:32:58]
re
[5:33:00]
trying to. Okay. So. Well,
[5:33:01]
perhaps a better question,
[5:33:02]
Suzanne, if we were to say
[5:33:02]
we
[5:33:04]
re going to allocate
[5:33:07]
$200,000 toward health youth
[5:33:08]
programs to expand what you
[5:33:08]
re
[5:33:11]
already doing, would are there
[5:33:12]
specific programs where you
[5:33:14]
think, yes. Then we could we
[5:33:16]
had that many providers apply
[5:33:17]
and we can put the money back
[5:33:19]
out in the community. Yes, we
[5:33:21]
could do that again. Okay. It
[5:33:23]
would be one time in
[5:33:25]
combination with. One time. And
[5:33:27]
but if you had that many
[5:33:29]
providers apply initially, they
[5:33:30]
would probably be very happy to
[5:33:32]
have some one time grants.
[5:33:32]
Yeah. There
[5:33:32]
s there
[5:33:33]
s. You
[5:33:33]
re
[5:33:34]
saying 200. So that
[5:33:35]
s 200. So
[5:33:36]
Adam, if I
[5:33:37]
m not mistaken,
[5:33:37]
we
[5:33:41]
re at 1100. If we did the
[5:33:43]
$250,000 for needs assessment
[5:33:45]
evaluation, 250,000 for black
[5:33:49]
male, 200,000 for one esd
[5:33:50]
program, which was the one with
[5:33:53]
child abuse prevention, another
[5:33:54]
$200,000 for the family
[5:33:55]
navigation to expand that
[5:33:57]
program, and then $200,000
[5:33:58]
toward health, which takes us
[5:34:01]
to 1100. The question is, do we
[5:34:05]
want to put the remainder into,
[5:34:06]
um, over to dcd for housing, or
[5:34:08]
do we want to throw in some
[5:34:10]
more money for food insecurity?
[5:34:11]
I support what Diane said about
[5:34:13]
food insecurity. I think that
[5:34:16]
was a need. I do think I will
[5:34:18]
propose, though. I think we can
[5:34:20]
raise the African American to
[5:34:22]
350 and that still leads
[5:34:24]
enough. That leads a money for
[5:34:26]
food insecurity. And then the
[5:34:29]
larger investment on the
[5:34:29]
housing is going to be a
[5:34:32]
discussion we have for Arpa.
[5:34:34]
And I just there was a project
[5:34:38]
that I think was funded, um,
[5:34:39]
Marla, do you want to talk
[5:34:41]
about the tomorrow or improve
[5:34:44]
your Tomorrow program? And I
[5:34:44]
don
[5:34:46]
t know, can you give me a
[5:34:48]
little bit because that was to
[5:34:50]
serve young men. Uh, we
[5:34:51]
re
[5:34:53]
doing that through our youth
[5:34:56]
centers. So I just wanted to
[5:34:59]
get some more information on
[5:35:01]
that. Um, we will be coming to
[5:35:03]
the board in another meeting or
[5:35:05]
two for approval for the youth
[5:35:08]
center services starting 2526.
[5:35:09]
And improve your Tomorrow is
[5:35:10]
one of the vendors that we will
[5:35:11]
be recommending to you that
[5:35:13]
were selected through a
[5:35:14]
procurement process, both for
[5:35:16]
your District supervisor and
[5:35:18]
for your district supervisor
[5:35:19]
skills. Preston. And it
[5:35:20]
s about
[5:35:22]
250,000 for each of them. I
[5:35:24]
mean, for each district. Okay.
[5:35:25]
And what do. They do? And those
[5:35:28]
are services for young men.
[5:35:29]
Okay. And then I believe we
[5:35:30]
improve your tomorrow. They
[5:35:31]
just don
[5:35:32]
t serve African
[5:35:34]
American men. They also serve
[5:35:36]
just young men in high school
[5:35:36]
age. That
[5:35:38]
s right. Right. Yeah.
[5:35:39]
So I didn
[5:35:40]
t know if there was
[5:35:41]
some enhancement that we could
[5:35:43]
do to leverage that, that
[5:35:44]
all. How much. Is that? Okay,
[5:35:45]
well, let
[5:35:46]
s put in the food
[5:35:48]
before we change the African
[5:35:50]
American male. What
[5:35:50]
s put in
[5:35:53]
food insecurity. Just as to. Or
[5:35:55]
did. You know. No, I liked
[5:35:56]
where you were going. I mean,
[5:35:57]
when it came to the African
[5:35:59]
American males, we know from
[5:36:01]
the innovation grant
[5:36:02]
application process, we know
[5:36:04]
there was a plan. It might not
[5:36:06]
be that that particular
[5:36:07]
applicant would receive all
[5:36:09]
this funding, but we knew that
[5:36:10]
the programming that was
[5:36:12]
outlined in that was the
[5:36:15]
$400,000 program. And so I
[5:36:16]
would think of the frameworks
[5:36:19]
there and and the need has been
[5:36:20]
proven and everything. I just
[5:36:22]
think that number should be up
[5:36:24]
to the $400,000 level. It
[5:36:25]
s not
[5:36:27]
quite the 500. That was it.
[5:36:29]
Okay. So you want to raise it
[5:36:31]
okay. So put. In food security.
[5:36:33]
Support. That. But will you put
[5:36:35]
food insecurity in it $200,000.
[5:36:36]
And then it
[5:36:37]
s not technically
[5:36:39]
mental health for aapi. It
[5:36:39]
it
[5:36:41]
s just put the health
[5:36:42]
program. It
[5:36:42]
s we
[5:36:42]
re not
[5:36:44]
entirely sure. Um. But it
[5:36:47]
focused on on a lot of outreach
[5:36:49]
with aapi. Is what. Okay is is
[5:36:51]
it, Suzanne, the the expansion
[5:36:53]
of the program, is it focused?
[5:36:54]
I just want to be accurate in
[5:36:54]
what we
[5:36:55]
re reporting. That
[5:36:58]
all. And I
[5:36:59]
m very supportive of
[5:37:01]
us. I represent the largest
[5:37:03]
amount of the aapi population
[5:37:06]
in my of the county. Yeah. And
[5:37:07]
again, for clarification, I
[5:37:07]
don
[5:37:10]
t want to underestimate the
[5:37:11]
importance of this. I was just
[5:37:13]
answering a series of questions
[5:37:15]
about it. But yes, we already
[5:37:18]
are contracting with several
[5:37:19]
agencies who really work within
[5:37:21]
that community, and we would
[5:37:23]
augment that work. Okay. Please
[5:37:24]
put it back in as aapi
[5:37:26]
assistant. Corrected us and
[5:37:28]
give us updates about how this
[5:37:30]
money would roll out and give
[5:37:31]
input as that goes forward.
[5:37:32]
That would be part of the
[5:37:34]
program evaluation that we need
[5:37:37]
to do. I support the increase
[5:37:39]
of the $400,000 I had. I
[5:37:39]
noticed it hasn
[5:37:40]
t changed yet,
[5:37:43]
but I just want to. Yes. Okay.
[5:37:44]
So if you put the African
[5:37:47]
American meals back up to
[5:37:49]
$400,000 and then what? Then
[5:37:52]
that leaves us, um, there were
[5:37:52]
we
[5:37:55]
re right in our range right
[5:37:56]
there. And, um, let
[5:37:57]
s just put
[5:37:58]
the difference into food.
[5:37:59]
Insecurity. The chart up
[5:38:01]
finally. Okay. Oh, yeah. No,
[5:38:03]
the charts up there. So I would
[5:38:05]
put the the difference of, um,
[5:38:11]
what are we talking to, $200 or
[5:38:14]
$700, seven, 200 and whatever
[5:38:16]
dollars it is, put that into
[5:38:17]
the food insecurity to make it
[5:38:20]
give us an even number. I
[5:38:24]
going to zero the bank account
[5:38:25]
as long as Adam puts it
[5:38:29]
incorrectly. Okay, okay. Is
[5:38:30]
everyone feeling good about
[5:38:30]
that? I
[5:38:33]
ve seen emotion going.
[5:38:35]
ll move the, um,
[5:38:36]
recommendation. I think Diane.
[5:38:38]
Already did a second, second.
[5:38:40]
Second. It. Whoo!
[5:38:41]
Collaboration. Thank you all.
[5:38:43]
Okay, so we will wait for a
[5:38:48]
vote, and there we go. That
[5:38:50]
passes unanimously. Um, my
[5:38:51]
recommendation is going to be
[5:38:52]
that we continue the Arpa
[5:38:54]
discussion until our next
[5:38:56]
meeting. Um, simply because
[5:38:57]
Diane really does need to get
[5:38:58]
to Brentwood, and we do have
[5:38:59]
some closed session items we
[5:39:01]
like to go over with Diane
[5:39:03]
before she leaves. And I
[5:39:05]
understand that. No, no, no.
[5:39:06]
Because we
[5:39:07]
re a team. No. And I
[5:39:08]
understand that a lot of the
[5:39:10]
people who wish to speak on
[5:39:13]
Arpa are in Concord at a sit in
[5:39:16]
as well. And so Iant to allow
[5:39:17]
people that opportunity to
[5:39:19]
participate. In Candace to
[5:39:20]
help. Could we ask doctor
[5:39:23]
civilly and John to sort of
[5:39:25]
fine tune more that paragraph
[5:39:26]
we had about what that would
[5:39:29]
look like on the housing. The
[5:39:30]
housing. But when we talk about
[5:39:31]
it on the. Arpa. But I
[5:39:31]
m just
[5:39:33]
going to say, as Ken mentioned
[5:39:36]
in his comments, just sort of
[5:39:37]
laying that foundation, I
[5:39:37]
m not
[5:39:38]
going to want to spend all the
[5:39:39]
money. I
[5:39:39]
m really concerned
[5:39:41]
that, like Ken said, I loved
[5:39:43]
your tsunami coming from
[5:39:44]
Hawaii, my greatest fear of
[5:39:45]
tsunamis. No, no, but but yeah,
[5:39:47]
I mean, right now the water is
[5:39:49]
going out and we can expect a
[5:39:51]
lot more problems coming
[5:39:53]
forward and having those
[5:39:53]
formerly Arpa dollars is going
[5:39:56]
to be critical going through
[5:39:58]
that next chapter. So I think
[5:39:59]
setting that expectation for
[5:40:00]
the community, you
[5:40:00]
re hearing
[5:40:01]
that from a lot of us. We
[5:40:01]
re
[5:40:02]
not going to probably allocate
[5:40:04]
the full amount well, but
[5:40:04]
we
[5:40:05]
ll. Discuss it now. We
[5:40:06]
re
[5:40:07]
starting the budget cycle,
[5:40:09]
right. So JULY 1st, we made a
[5:40:11]
when it comes to housing
[5:40:13]
insecurity, you know, a $2.5
[5:40:14]
million investment. So do we
[5:40:17]
need to act immediately or is
[5:40:19]
that pool of funds reasonable
[5:40:21]
to get us through the next six
[5:40:23]
months and to reevaluate? And
[5:40:24]
so I think there
[5:40:25]
s some
[5:40:26]
flexibility and pliability and
[5:40:28]
how quickly we respond. Okay.
[5:40:30]
And so because we are getting
[5:40:31]
close to wrapping up the
[5:40:34]
meeting, I am going to one turn
[5:40:36]
for public comment because we
[5:40:37]
need to do that and we
[5:40:38]
re going
[5:40:39]
to continue. Do we need a
[5:40:41]
motion to continue the Arpa
[5:40:42]
discussion to the next meeting,
[5:40:42]
or it
[5:40:44]
s not a hearing? But
[5:40:45]
would you like us to or just
[5:40:47]
give you direction? You can
[5:40:48]
give a direction to continue
[5:40:49]
it, which you did. Okay. We
[5:40:49]
ve
[5:40:51]
given you direction. Okay. We,
[5:40:53]
um, public comment. This is the
[5:40:55]
opportunity. Can we take you to
[5:40:56]
public comment before we go in?
[5:40:58]
Then? Yeah. On non-agenda
[5:40:59]
items. That way we don
[5:40:59]
t have
[5:41:00]
to. Then we
[5:41:02]
re done. Yes. Yeah.
[5:41:03]
So any public comment on items
[5:41:04]
not on today
[5:41:04]
s agenda, but
[5:41:05]
under the purview of the Board
[5:41:07]
of Supervisors. And it looks
[5:41:07]
like we
[5:41:08]
ve got at least one
[5:41:10]
person online and some here in
[5:41:12]
chambers. Okay. We do have
[5:41:13]
comments in chambers. If there
[5:41:15]
are any callers or zoom
[5:41:16]
participants who would like to
[5:41:18]

[5:41:19]

[5:41:20]

Joanna, followed by Behrmann.
[5:42:16]
Please come to the podiums. All
[5:42:18]
right. Good afternoon. Board of
[5:42:19]
Supervisors. My name is Joanna
[5:42:20]
Gordon and I am here this
[5:42:22]
afternoon representing the
[5:42:24]
Contra Costa Guaranteed Income
[5:42:25]
Coalition. Um, I just want to
[5:42:27]
be very clear that I know Guy
[5:42:29]
is going to be coming to you in
[5:42:31]
an upcoming board meeting. Um,
[5:42:33]
and again, our message as a
[5:42:34]
coalition is that we
[5:42:34]
re still
[5:42:36]
very eager to partner with
[5:42:38]
Director Stuart on the plan
[5:42:40]
that she has for gi. Um,
[5:42:40]
there
[5:42:41]
s a lot of concern right
[5:42:42]
now in the community,
[5:42:43]
especially what just happened
[5:42:45]
in Concord, right at the
[5:42:46]
courthouse or isis showing up
[5:42:48]
and snatching people up. Um,
[5:42:51]
you know, our coalition has the
[5:42:51]
expertise. They
[5:42:53]
ve had multiple
[5:42:55]
gi pilots right through
[5:42:56]
Concord, Antioch, and there
[5:42:59]
others in the space that are
[5:43:00]
still in the process of, um,
[5:43:02]
you know, piloting and starting
[5:43:04]
off their own gi pilot
[5:43:04]
programs. Um, we think it
[5:43:06]
incredibly important that this
[5:43:08]
gi pilot program has the
[5:43:09]
community at the center of it.
[5:43:10]
There
[5:43:11]
s community voice,
[5:43:11]
community input. That
[5:43:12]
s been a
[5:43:14]
part of it. Unfortunately, as a
[5:43:15]
coalition, we have yet to meet
[5:43:17]
with Director Stewart around
[5:43:19]
the plan. Um, and so for us,
[5:43:20]
again, we think that the
[5:43:22]
community has so much expertise
[5:43:24]
to offer in this area.
[5:43:26]
Unfortunately, even though esd
[5:43:28]
right has been the leader in
[5:43:29]
this, um, pilot program, we
[5:43:30]
still think that it is
[5:43:31]
incredibly important to partner
[5:43:32]
with the community to make sure
[5:43:33]
that we have a program that
[5:43:34]
doesn
[5:43:35]
t exclude members of our
[5:43:37]
community. And unfortunately,
[5:43:37]
what we
[5:43:38]
ve heard, the drafts
[5:43:38]
that we
[5:43:39]
ve seen, that is
[5:43:40]
exactly what this program is
[5:43:41]
being designed to do. It
[5:43:43]
designed to exclude people that
[5:43:45]
are undocumented, people that
[5:43:45]
aren
[5:43:47]
t currently in some
[5:43:48]
existing county program. And
[5:43:49]
from what we understand and
[5:43:51]
what we know, even esd
[5:43:51]
understands that there are so
[5:43:53]
many barriers as to why people
[5:43:53]
aren
[5:43:54]
t in some of these
[5:43:56]
programs, even though they have
[5:43:57]
the eligibility, the
[5:43:58]
documentation to join. There
[5:43:59]
still so many barriers as to
[5:44:00]
why people don
[5:44:01]
t join them
[5:44:02]
either way. And so please,
[5:44:03]
again, this is just a call out
[5:44:04]
to make sure that this is the
[5:44:06]
one pilot that we get. So let
[5:44:07]
make sure we do it right. Thank
[5:44:13]
you so much. Please go ahead.
[5:44:16]
This is Maddie. Paramount. I
[5:44:18]
just want to mention that
[5:44:21]
Supervisor John, he said today
[5:44:25]
the most efficient way for each
[5:44:27]
dollar. And then who
[5:44:29]
responsibility to make sure
[5:44:33]
this is the most efficient way?
[5:44:34]
When people come in here, they
[5:44:35]
stand up and they don
[5:44:36]
t know
[5:44:37]
even how much for what they
[5:44:38]
don
[5:44:40]
t have calculation. Or
[5:44:40]
there
[5:44:42]
s over there, they just
[5:44:45]
choose 200. Next time, do 300.
[5:44:47]
I mean, when when the requests
[5:44:52]
come in to for us for a yearly
[5:44:54]
or annually report, you don
[5:44:56]
believe what kind of question
[5:44:57]
they are. And we have
[5:45:00]
responsibility to answer. And
[5:45:02]
she come here. And who was the
[5:45:03]
idea when they said two times?
[5:45:06]
First they said 200 for this,
[5:45:08]
200 for this, 200 for this. And
[5:45:10]
also your experience as a
[5:45:12]
supervisor for so many years,
[5:45:13]
how many years you work with
[5:45:15]
these organizations and with
[5:45:19]
this, uh, non-profit
[5:45:21]
organization and supervisor
[5:45:23]
person she just mentioned with
[5:45:25]
all of this money we spent, we
[5:45:25]
don
[5:45:27]
t get no results for young
[5:45:30]
African American because in
[5:45:32]
advance, instead you just
[5:45:34]
asking them question. You sure
[5:45:35]
taxpayers doesn
[5:45:36]
t waste it
[5:45:38]
before that? I think it
[5:45:40]
better you put in agenda. You
[5:45:43]
do this money. Use this money
[5:45:46]
in ten different ways. Stop
[5:45:47]
first. Stop. Bring the proof.
[5:45:50]
And then we we prove the second
[5:45:50]
step. And that
[5:45:51]
s the best way
[5:45:53]
to make sure you be satisfied
[5:45:55]
with the spending money. You.
[5:45:57]
You okay? It not not like this.
[5:45:59]
You know how many times African
[5:46:00]
American came here and they
[5:46:02]
even yelling for, for for
[5:46:06]
saying, oh, we are your are
[5:46:08]
racist. Nobody is racist here.
[5:46:08]
It
[5:46:12]
s just confusing. I mean
[5:46:12]
$200. They don
[5:46:13]
t know for what
[5:46:14]
for how much. Thank you so
[5:46:16]
much. Thank you. We could go to
[5:46:20]
our on call on line callers. We
[5:46:22]
do have two more, uh, comments
[5:46:24]
in chambers. My apologies. Uh,
[5:46:27]
Devin, followed by Paul. And
[5:46:29]
then we can go to the zoom
[5:46:33]
comments. Okay. Hi. Good
[5:46:36]
afternoon again. Uh, board. Um,
[5:46:37]
and community, my name is once
[5:46:39]
again, Devin Williams. I am
[5:46:42]
just rising today to bring a
[5:46:44]
cause of concern, um, to the
[5:46:47]
board. Um, we have a health
[5:46:49]
care do in quote air quotes
[5:46:49]
because I think it
[5:46:50]
s everything
[5:46:51]
but a health care facility.
[5:46:51]
It
[5:46:52]
s called Val
[5:46:54]
s in San Pablo.
[5:46:56]
Um, right down the street from
[5:46:58]
the casino, I believe. And I
[5:46:59]
have a family member,
[5:47:01]
unfortunately, that has been
[5:47:03]
stuck there. Um. I
[5:47:03]
m to say
[5:47:04]
that again, I
[5:47:04]
m listening in
[5:47:04]
because it
[5:47:06]
s in my district.
[5:47:06]
Yes. That
[5:47:07]
s where I wanted to
[5:47:08]
raise it today. Thank you.
[5:47:11]
John. Um, I I
[5:47:11]
m bringing this
[5:47:12]
up because it
[5:47:12]
s called Val
[5:47:13]
Healthcare, and it
[5:47:14]
s in San
[5:47:15]
Pablo, and it
[5:47:16]
s, um, it
[5:47:17]
supposed to be a skilled
[5:47:19]
nursing facility, um, taking
[5:47:20]
care of patients who have
[5:47:22]
suffered from strokes. Um, but
[5:47:23]
it
[5:47:24]
s been anything but that.
[5:47:25]
And, you know, it
[5:47:26]
s a, um, a
[5:47:28]
mixed group of people from age
[5:47:29]
groups to everything. They
[5:47:29]
ll
[5:47:31]
have health care concerns. And,
[5:47:32]
um, I have a family member
[5:47:33]
that
[5:47:34]
s been stuck there and her
[5:47:36]
health has declined rapidly
[5:47:36]
because she
[5:47:38]
s afraid, um, there
[5:47:40]
has been, um, really
[5:47:41]
devastating things that have
[5:47:42]
happened to her. And I don
[5:47:43]
want to talk about them here in
[5:47:45]
a public space, but, um, I
[5:47:48]
just hoping to that maybe
[5:47:49]
someone else has heard about
[5:47:51]
this place. Maybe they can look
[5:47:51]
into it. Maybe since it
[5:47:52]
s in
[5:47:53]
your district, we can talk
[5:47:55]
offline about it. And I really
[5:47:57]
do hope that we can find a
[5:47:57]
solution here. And it
[5:47:58]
s, um,
[5:47:59]
devastating because this person
[5:48:01]
is a strong person. But, you
[5:48:03]
know, you you live in that
[5:48:04]
situation for only so long. How
[5:48:07]
stng can you be? And so
[5:48:07]
that
[5:48:08]
s all I want to say today.
[5:48:10]
Um, thank you all. Have a great
[5:48:27]
afternoon. Hello again. Um. I
[5:48:28]
wanted to just speak on what I
[5:48:29]
know is going to be upcoming
[5:48:30]
around the consideration of the
[5:48:33]
gi pilot and implementation.
[5:48:35]
Um, and just share. Um, as I
[5:48:37]
had shared in my previous
[5:48:40]
comments. Um, rise. Um, we do a
[5:48:42]
lot of housing justice work. We
[5:48:43]
support hundreds of young
[5:48:45]
people. So, um, through our
[5:48:49]
direct cash, uh, direct cash
[5:48:51]
transfer for prevention, um, we
[5:48:53]
engage about 200 young people,
[5:48:54]
but outside of that, about
[5:48:55]
another 150 young people in
[5:48:57]
direct housing supports
[5:48:58]
navigation, case management.
[5:49:00]
And I just want to put it out
[5:49:03]
there that our learnings around
[5:49:05]
what it means to have real time
[5:49:07]
and low barrier access to funds
[5:49:09]
that can be used in a way that
[5:49:10]
young people and their families
[5:49:12]
need in the moment, is so
[5:49:14]
critical. Our learnings come
[5:49:15]
from talking to all our young
[5:49:17]
people who are participants of
[5:49:19]
it, as well as young people who
[5:49:21]
have, um, and have been
[5:49:22]
experienced it previously.
[5:49:22]
We
[5:49:23]
re talking about what
[5:49:23]
they
[5:49:24]
re seeing going on with
[5:49:25]
their friends or at home. So
[5:49:27]
again, I want to share like the
[5:49:28]
learnings and the findings
[5:49:30]
around so many of the pilots
[5:49:32]
going on are so deeply embedded
[5:49:34]
in community and just really
[5:49:36]
ask that you uphold what we
[5:49:36]
re
[5:49:38]
learning, the rigor of
[5:49:40]
community, listening cannot be
[5:49:43]
any system, any institution.
[5:49:45]
And certainly we want to put
[5:49:46]
parameters and different kinds
[5:49:50]
of metrics around this, but we
[5:49:51]
really hope that you consider
[5:49:52]
what it means to ensure there
[5:49:56]
a community process. Um, around
[5:49:58]
every part of the
[5:49:59]
implementation and assessment
[5:50:01]
and analysis and that it not
[5:50:02]
just gets sequestered within
[5:50:05]
the system. Thank you. We can
[5:50:06]
now go to our zoom comments.
[5:50:07]
Okay. We
[5:50:09]
ve got four callers on
[5:50:11]
zoom. The next speaker is
[5:50:16]
Ellen. Please unmute. Hello.
[5:50:18]
Can you guys. Hear me? Yes. We
[5:50:23]
can okay. Thank you. I want to
[5:50:27]
thank supervisor De for, um,
[5:50:29]
uplifting Juneteenth and also
[5:50:31]
just a discussion that we are a
[5:50:34]
part of the budget agenda and
[5:50:36]
that you guys are looking to
[5:50:37]
allocate funds to address a lot
[5:50:39]
of things that our community
[5:50:41]
need to heal from. You guys are
[5:50:43]
doing a holistic wellness
[5:50:45]
center for our people, and that
[5:50:46]
shows the data. And you guys
[5:50:48]
are putting resources to
[5:50:49]
address that. We don
[5:50:50]
t have all
[5:50:52]
the answers, but you guys are
[5:50:55]
giving giving us the agency to
[5:50:57]
make our own and heal our own.
[5:50:59]
And I thank you guys for that
[5:51:00]
opportunity to do it in
[5:51:03]
partnership with us and making,
[5:51:05]
um, my community part of the
[5:51:07]
budget conversation. And I
[5:51:11]
complete. Thank you. The next
[5:51:12]
speaker is Melvin. Please
[5:51:19]
unmute. Hello. Board of.
[5:51:20]
Supervisors, this is. Melvin
[5:51:20]
Willis. I
[5:51:22]
m calling. In with.
[5:51:25]
Uh. Ace. And also. As part of
[5:51:27]
the racial Justice Coalition
[5:51:30]
and partnered with the gi
[5:51:33]
coalition. I did want to echo
[5:51:36]
the previous speakers and just
[5:51:38]
stating that, um, there is
[5:51:41]
concern that the rollout of a
[5:51:43]
beautiful idea, like a
[5:51:45]
guaranteed income pilot program
[5:51:47]
is going to MISS The mark
[5:51:47]
because it
[5:51:48]
s not going to have
[5:51:50]
that community input. Even
[5:51:52]
something as simple as saying,
[5:51:52]
anybody who
[5:51:54]
s already enrolled
[5:51:56]
into a county service could
[5:51:58]
qualify leaves out a lot of
[5:51:59]
people, just even from some of
[5:52:01]
the conversations that have
[5:52:03]
happened in this chamber where
[5:52:06]
we talk about residents being
[5:52:09]
steered away because of the,
[5:52:11]
uh, not feeling comfortable
[5:52:13]
interfacing with our systems,
[5:52:13]
because there
[5:52:14]
s a lack of
[5:52:17]
cultural competency sometimes,
[5:52:19]
or just our own implicit
[5:52:20]
biases, and which we talk about
[5:52:23]
the racial justice oversight
[5:52:25]
body on how are we implementing
[5:52:26]
trainings like that on a
[5:52:28]
regular basis. And part of our
[5:52:29]
discussions to make sure that
[5:52:31]
all of us who are interfacing
[5:52:34]
with the county in some way are
[5:52:35]
checking any implicit biases
[5:52:39]
that we have. So there
[5:52:39]
s a lot
[5:52:41]
of data out there. But one
[5:52:41]
thing that we
[5:52:43]
re definitely
[5:52:44]
experts on is our community,
[5:52:46]
the needs and some of the
[5:52:47]
excitement our community
[5:52:49]
members have. But it is really
[5:52:51]
hard to keep up with every
[5:52:53]
single committee and forum that
[5:52:55]
is happeni to get public
[5:52:58]
input. So just wanted to throw
[5:52:58]
that in there. And I
[5:52:59]
m also
[5:53:01]
familiar with the, uh, resident
[5:53:02]
who
[5:53:03]
s at that Vale facility and
[5:53:05]
willing to give details offline
[5:53:06]
as well. And I
[5:53:06]
ve heard
[5:53:07]
horrible things about that
[5:53:09]
place since I was a kid. So,
[5:53:10]
yeah, also, anything we could
[5:53:13]
do politically to help out that
[5:53:13]
family, it
[5:53:15]
s important to me as
[5:53:17]
well. Thank you. The next
[5:53:21]
speaker is Cathy. Please unmute.
[5:53:27]
Hi. Good afternoon. Um, board.
[5:53:28]

[5:53:32]
member of um, Ace Contra Costa.
[5:53:32]
Um, I
[5:53:33]
m just going to keep this
[5:53:34]
quite short. Um, essentially,
[5:53:35]
m echoing the comments that
[5:53:38]
were shared by Sarah Gideon,
[5:53:39]
Melvin Willis, and others who
[5:53:41]
spoke on the gi pilot. Please,
[5:53:42]
please do make sure that there
[5:53:44]
is meaningful community input
[5:53:46]
and partnership with the gi
[5:53:47]
coalition. Um, in every step of
[5:53:49]
the process of this guaranteed
[5:53:51]
income pilot, um, we want to
[5:53:52]
make sure that we
[5:53:52]
re, we
[5:53:52]
re
[5:53:53]
we
[5:53:54]
re doing this strategically.
[5:53:54]
We
[5:53:55]
re doing this effectively,
[5:53:55]
and we
[5:53:56]
re really ensuring that
[5:53:58]
everybody is included, um, and
[5:53:59]
that we
[5:53:59]
re utilizing the
[5:54:01]
equitable frameworks that they
[5:54:03]
have already established. Um,
[5:54:04]
also, please remove any
[5:54:06]
unnecessary eligibility
[5:54:07]
barriers, um, that can also
[5:54:09]
include public benefit
[5:54:11]
requirements. Um, so thank you
[5:54:12]
very much. Um, I know y
[5:54:12]
all
[5:54:14]
have things to do, so I will
[5:54:17]
sign off now. Thank you. Next
[5:54:19]
speaker is Joanna. Please
[5:54:24]
unmute. Hello? Can you hear me?
[5:54:26]
Yes, we. Can. Hello. Board of
[5:54:28]
supervisors. My name is Joanna
[5:54:28]
and I
[5:54:30]
m the policy and. Systems
[5:54:30]
change. Coordinator for.
[5:54:32]
Healthy Contra Costa. Um, and I
[5:54:34]
am also a part of. The. One
[5:54:35]
Contra Costa coalition. Um. I
[5:54:36]
just wanted. To speak today in
[5:54:38]
light of what. Happened, um,
[5:54:40]
today in Concord. Um, now more
[5:54:41]
than ever, we need. To be
[5:54:42]
taking care of our immigrant
[5:54:43]
community members. They
[5:54:44]
re
[5:54:45]
being ripped apart and. Taken
[5:54:47]
from. Us and being left without
[5:54:48]
the care that they need. And
[5:54:50]
deserve. For over a year or
[5:54:51]
coalition has been working.
[5:54:52]
Closely with. The health
[5:54:53]
department to get our community
[5:54:55]
members enrolled into the basic
[5:54:56]
health. Care program. But
[5:54:57]
despite our efforts. Many are
[5:54:59]
still waiting. And that
[5:54:59]
s. Just
[5:55:02]
an. Unacceptable um, and with
[5:55:04]
the growing threats to strip
[5:55:05]
health care from our immigrant
[5:55:06]
neighbors, we can
[5:55:06]
t afford to
[5:55:08]
wait. We
[5:55:08]
re calling for the
[5:55:10]
health department to urgently
[5:55:11]
fast track the removal of the
[5:55:13]
barriers that the coalition has
[5:55:15]
raised over the past year in
[5:55:16]
our community. Members need
[5:55:19]
access to care now. Um, every
[5:55:20]
delay is putting their lives
[5:55:21]
more at risk. And our people
[5:55:24]
deserve better. Thank you.
[5:55:27]
There are. No more comments.
[5:55:29]
Okay. Thank you all for being
[5:55:31]

[5:55:43]

[5:55:44]

[5:55:45]
as well as some other important
[5:55:47]
items. So thank you all.
