669 00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:29,100 limits around schools, almost every 670 00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,100 city in the county the has already 671 00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:33,100 done so, it's cheap, fast and easy. 672 00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:35,100 supervisors canepa and mueller jumped 673 00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,100 on the idea and directed staff to make 674 00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:38,100 this happen. 675 00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:41,100 I'm not sure that we have done this 676 00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:42,100 anywhere. 677 00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:43,100 I believe there was a trial 678 00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,100 potentially proposed but this is 679 00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:47,100 something safe, fast and there's 680 00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:49,100 really no reason not to move forward 681 00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:51,100 with this aggressively across the 20 682 00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:56,100 schools so I ask the board the push on 683 00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:57,100 public works to make this

--> 00:31:33,201 that it please include all of our 697 00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:36,100 youth and that would include our youth 698 00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:37,100 in the juvenile legal system. 699 00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:39,100 I remain deeply concerned about the 700 00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:41,100 longstanding issues within the 701 00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:42,100 juvenile hall including allegations 702 00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:44,100 that have been mentioned already of 703 00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:46,100 sexual abuse and misconduct. 704 00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:49,601 in november of last year, allegations 705 00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:54,201 surfaced again of sexual abuse and -- 706 00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:57,100 of multiple youth in the hall that 707 00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:00,100 were having sexual relationships with 708 00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:01,100 a staff member. 709 00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:03,100 probation confirmed that the it wass 710 00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,401 conducting an internal investigation. 711 00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,100 the county has not publicly 712 00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:13,100 reported the outcome of that 713 00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,100 investigation and it's also something 714 00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,100 to be of mote that there is no 715 00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,601 independent way for these youth to 716 00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:23,100 report any misconduct or abuse that 717 00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:27,201 might be going on except to the 718 00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:29,100 staff themselves. 719 00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:32,100 over the past 8 months, the 720 00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,100 juvenile hall study session has been 721 00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:45,100 cancelled, I respectfully ask that the 722 00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,100 board reschedule and prioritize that 723 00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:49,100 study session to that these concerns 724 00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:52,100 can be addressed publicly and 725 00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:53,100 collaboratively. 726 00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:57,100 I think many of these issues can be 727 00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,100 resolved outside of a study session. 728 00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:03,100 these

00:33:09,100 is how do we want that to look, how we 732 00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,100 treat these children makes a big 733 00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:12,100 difference. 734 00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:14,100 I

00:34:52,100 in our care, we are responsible for 771 00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:53,100 them. 772 00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:55,100 I'm also a mother and a grandmother of 773 00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:57,100 --

00:35:45,100 to make the food there, it would make 791 00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:47,100 a lot of difference. 792 00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,100 it isn't healthy for the kids and you 793 00:35:49,100 -->

that in the past almost one 1239 00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:58,201 hour that we've spent with the people 1240 00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:02,100 talking about disappointment in the 1241 00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:05,100 lack of a study session, the time 1242 00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:07,100 spent here could have been spent in 1243 00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:10,100 the study session, so that's very 1244 00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:11,100 frustrating. 1245 00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:14,100 before I retired, I worked for decades 1246 00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:16,100 providing services for adults in the 1247

gotten the 1253 00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:34,100 support they needed as young people, 1254 00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:38,100 that that they wouldn't be facing the 1255 00:56:38,100 --> 00:56:40,100 current obstacles that I was seeing. 1256 00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,100 and so I really urge you to please do 1257 00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:44,100 everything in your power to implement 1258 00:56:44,100 -->

feel their 1641 01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:08,100 voices are heard, communities become 1642 01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:09,100 stronger and more resilient. 1643 01:13:09,100 --> 01:13:12,100 I would like to

01:14:28,601 large and it is through those 1673 01:14:29,100 --> 01:14:31,100 tragedies that we are able to learn 1674 01:14:31,100 --> 01:14:34,100 from that and learn about how we can 1675 01:14:34,100 --> 01:14:37,100 prevent that from making it here to 1676 01:14:37,100 --> 01:14:39,100 our county to the bay area and I also 1677 01:14:39,100 --> 01:14:42,100 want to just shout-out

01:17:12,100 --> 01:17:16,201 that is the department of justice did 1744 01:17:17,100 --> 01:17:20,601 here in california declaring many of 1745 01:17:21,100 --> 01:17:23,100 the factual conditions that provide 1746 01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:27,100 you the legal basis for moving forward 1747 01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:28,100 around health and safety concerns, the 1748 01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:31,100 state doj's report this year 1749 01:17:32,100 --> 01:17:34,100 detailed overcrowding, lack of abscess 1750 01:17:34,100 --> 01:17:37,100 to medical care, inadequate food and 1751 01:17:37,100 --> 01:17:39,100 water, unsanitary can concerns and 1752 01:17:39,100 --> 01:17:41,100 alarming increase in fatalities in 1753 01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:43,100 those ice facilities here in 1754 01:17:43,100 --> 01:17:44,100 california. 1755 01:17:44,100 --> 01:17:47,100 we have 7 detention facilities in 1756 01:17:48,100 --> 01:17:50,100 southern california, no large 1757 01:17:50,100 --> 01:17:51,100 detention facilities in northern 1758 01:17:51,100 --> 01:17:52,100 california. 1759 01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:54,100 I would like to keep it that way. 1760 01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:56,100 we've seen six deaths in those 7 1761 01:17:56,100 --> 01:17:59,100 facilities in a period of just half a 1762 01:17:59,100 --> 01:18:00,100 year. 1763 01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:01,100 we understand, I know you understand 1764 01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:03,100 well what that means for our 1765 01:18:03,100 --> 01:18:04,100 communities. 1766 01:18:04,100 --> 01:18:07,100 of course my motivations may expand 1767 01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:10,100 beyond mere health and safety. 1768 01:18:10,100 --> 01:18:13,601 I'm deeply concerned about how these 1769 01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:16,100 detention facilities enable ice to 1770 01:18:16,100 --> 01:18:18,100 conduct large scale operations that 1771 01:18:18,100 --> 01:18:21,100 severely disrupt our communities, our 1772 01:18:21,100 --> 01:18:23,100 neighborhoods, our families, and I 1773 01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:25,100 know that many of you may have those 1774 01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:27,100 concerns as well but I will -- I won't 1775 01:18:27,100 --> 01:18:30,601 play the role of recovering attorney, 1776 01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:34,100 I know your counsel will ensure you 1777 01:18:34,100 --> 01:18:35,100 stay focused on health and safety 1778 01:18:35,100 --> 01:18:36,100 issues. 1779 01:18:36,100 --> 01:18:39,100 there is a gap, I should note, and 1780 01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:42,100 it's important to attend to between 1781 01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:44,100 intention and action. 1782 01:18:46,100 --> 01:18:48,100 you are considering a resolution today 1783 01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:50,100 and I'm grateful for that. 1784 01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:53,100 it will be several months before you 1785 01:18:53,100 --> 01:18:56,100 have an ordinance and your planning 1786 01:18:56,100 --> 01:18:59,100 staff need time to return to you with 1787 01:18:59,100 --> 01:19:01,100 a final ordinance. 1788 01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:03,100 in that period of time, a detention 1789 01:19:03,100 --> 01:19:06,601 facility could move forward in this 1790 01:19:07,100 --> 01:19:08,100 county. 1791 01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:11,100 california law, that is government 1792 01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:14,100 code section 65858 does provide local 1793 01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:18,100

01:19:26,801 45 days and a year that enables you to 1797 01:19:27,100 --> 01:19:28,100 have the time to do the work as well 1798 01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:30,100 as the outreach that is required, I 1799

an urgency 1802 01:19:39,100 --> 01:19:41,100 ordinance in a much more abbreviated 1803 01:19:41,100 --> 01:19:43,100 timeline than with a typical matter. 1804 01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:45,100 with that,

01:20:04,100 so that we could go ahead and enact an 1814 01:20:04,100 --> 01:20:07,601 urgency ordinance for the time staff 1815 01:20:08,100 --> 01:20:11,100 is working up towards the urgency 1816

you, supervisor. 1854 01:21:49,100 --> 01:21:52,100 >> I just want to echo my 1855 01:21:52,100 --> 01:21:53,100 colleagues' comments, thank you so 1856 01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:54,100 much. 1857 01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:56,100 I have a quick question, in terms of 1858 01:21:56,100 --> 01:21:59,100 just so the public knows, in terms of 1859 01:21:59,100 --> 01:22:02,100 ice detention centers that are sort of 1860 01:22:02,100 --> 01:22:04,100 being constructed, do you have any 1861 01:22:04,100 --> 01:22:07,601 background on where those are taking 1862 01:22:08,100 --> 01:22:10,100 place and sort of the scale of that? 1863 01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:13,100 >> sure, thank you, supervisor canepa. 1864 01:22:13,100 --> 01:22:16,100 we know that certainly from public 1865 01:22:16,100 --> 01:22:18,100 information, a facility was planned if 1866 01:22:18,100 --> 01:22:21,100 gilroy, another one in dublin, both of 1867 01:22:21,100 --> 01:22:24,100 those projects are uncertain in terms 1868 01:22:24,100 --> 01:22:27,100 of their timeline and I think you know 1869 01:22:27,100 --> 01:22:30,100 because the county I believe this 1870 01:22:30,100 --> 01:22:33,601 county is involved in support through 1871 01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:37,100 amicus of the litigation on that site 1872 01:22:37,100 --> 01:22:38,100 on gilroy. 1873 01:22:38,100 --> 01:22:42,100 we know that delay is something that 1874 01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:45,100 dhs has typically responded to by 1875 01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:47,100 looking for other sites. 1876 01:22:47,100 --> 01:22:50,100 and they have a 38 billion dollars in 1877 01:22:50,100 --> 01:22:53,100 last year's budget which I opposed to 1878 01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:55,100 go find other sites and pay other land 1879 01:22:55,100 --> 01:22:58,100 owners whatever they want to be able 1880 01:22:58,100 --> 01:23:01,100 to build other facilities so we expect 1881 01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:04,100 they'll be looking to low kayoing, so 1882 01:23:04,100 --> 01:23:06,100 that is one reason why I'm so 1883 01:23:06,100 --> 01:23:09,100 appreciative the county of san mateo 1884 01:23:09,100 --> 01:23:11,100 is can considering moving forward now 1885 01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:14,100 to provide a role model for other cities 1886 01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:16,100 and counties, if we can get 1887 01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:18,100 everybody to move together, that could 1888 01:23:18,100 --> 01:23:19,100 keep us all much safer. 1889 01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:21,100 >> that sounds fantastic. 1890 01:23:21,100 --> 01:23:23,100 one of the things I was thinking about 1891 01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:25,100 and I don't know if it's for this 1892 01:23:25,100 --> 01:23:28,100 specific piece of legislation as 1893 01:23:28,100 --> 01:23:30,100 specially for us to move forward 1894 01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:33,100 through a potential urgency ordinance, 1895 01:23:33,100 --> 01:23:34,100 but -- and I don't know the 1896 01:23:34,100 --> 01:23:35,100 conversations that have been taking 1897 01:23:35,100 --> 01:23:38,100 place with your colleagues in congress 1898 01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:42,201 but any sort of ice detention center 1899 01:23:45,100 --> 01:23:46,100 moving forward through the united 1900 01:23:46,100 --> 01:23:50,100 states of america, it is a serious 1901 01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:51,100 issue. 1902 01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:53,100 I really think -- so, what I would 1903 01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:56,100 just offer is to kind of understand 1904 01:23:56,100 --> 01:24:01,100 what we can do to make sure that there 1905 01:24:01,100 --> 01:24:04,100 isn't an ice detention if in gilroy, 1906 01:24:04,100 --> 01:24:05,100 dublin, but there isn't one in 1907 01:24:05,100 --> 01:24:07,100 charlotte, north carolina, so I think 1908 01:24:07,100 --> 01:24:10,100 to me and I think a lot of 1909 01:24:10,100 --> 01:24:11,100 folks, that's just critically 1910 01:24:11,100 --> 01:24:14,100 important, so I know this conversation 1911 01:24:14,100 --> 01:24:16,100 will continue but I really want to the 1912 01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:19,100 thank both the authors of the 1913 01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:20,100 legislation and particularly

in agreement on what our 1961 01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:02,100 priorities, what issue areas we would 1962 01:26:02,100 --> 01:26:05,100 like to spend our time studying, when 1963 01:26:05,100 --> 01:26:08,601 and also to provide clear information 1964 01:26:11,100 --> 01:26:12,100 to the community on what they can 1965 01:26:12,100 --> 01:26:13,100 expect as well. 1966 01:26:13,100 --> 01:26:14,100 being that we are making some changes, 1967 01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:16,100 I wanted to make sure we had a 1968 01:26:16,100 --> 01:26:20,201 conversation to update this and so for 1969 01:26:23,100 --> 01:26:27,201 the sake of transparency here, I want 1970 01:26:29,100 --> 01:26:33,100 to say that in terms of the juvenile 1971 01:26:33,100 --> 01:26:35,100 justice study session, I frankly felt 1972 01:26:35,100 --> 01:26:37,100 like it would be a little too much to 1973 01:26:37,100 --> 01:26:41,100 do two study sessions in one week for 1974 01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:45,801 staff and the board, so that is why 1975 01:26:46,100 --> 01:26:48,100 this study session was postponed. 1976 01:26:48,100 --> 01:26:51,100 I also know that it is a hot topic of 1977 01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:53,100 concern for the community. 1978 01:26:53,100 --> 01:26:55,100 I'm going to address that and share 1979 01:26:55,100 --> 01:26:58,100 some background because I am the 1980 01:26:58,100 --> 01:27:01,601 liaison now to the juvenile justice 1981 01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:07,601 and -- juvenile justice and the 1982 01:27:10,100 --> 01:27:12,100 delinquency prevention commission. 1983 01:27:12,100 --> 01:27:14,100 first and foe most, I want to say I'm 1984 01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:18,201 grateful for all the attention of this 1985 01:27:19,100 --> 01:27:20,100 topic. 1986 01:27:20,100 --> 01:27:22,100 I think I can hands down say every 1987 01:27:22,100 --> 01:27:26,100 single member of our board and every 1988 01:27:26,100 --> 01:27:27,100 single county employees care about our 1989 01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:28,100 young people. 1990 01:27:28,100 --> 01:27:31,100 some of information that is shared 1991 01:27:31,100 --> 01:27:33,401 publicly is frankly misinformation, 1992 01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:37,100 some of it -- there are always 1993 01:27:37,100 --> 01:27:39,100 areas to improve but I can understand 1994 01:27:39,100 --> 01:27:42,100 why some of what is shared founds very 1995 01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:45,601 alarming and like it's crisis level 1996 01:27:47,100 --> 01:27:49,100 worthy. 1997 01:27:54,100 --> 01:27:57,100 for example, the prea concerns, we 1998 01:27:57,100 --> 01:27:58,100 have -- and this is something I worked 1999 01:27:58,100 --> 01:28:01,100 on I want to say two years ago. 2000 01:28:01,100 --> 01:28:04,100 on the probation department website, 2001 01:28:04,100 --> 01:28:06,100 there is information on how a family 2002 01:28:06,100 --> 01:28:10,801 or a young person, how anyone can file 2003 01:28:11,100 --> 01:28:13,100 a complaint or a grievance, there is 2004 01:28:13,100 --> 01:28:15,100 information for the office of youth 2005 01:28:15,100 --> 01:28:17,401 and community restoration ombudsman 2006 01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:22,201 unit, there is information on how to 2007 01:28:24,100 --> 01:28:26,100 file a facility grievance, there's 2008 01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:29,100 information on how to the file a 2009 01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:32,100 citizen complaint and so the assertion 2010 01:28:32,100 --> 01:28:35,100 that there's no way for anyone or a 2011 01:28:35,100 --> 01:28:37,100 young person to make a complaint is 2012 01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:39,100 simply not true. 2013 01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:41,100 there can be improvements made, I do 2014 01:28:41,100 --> 01:28:43,100 think for example if there's specific 2015 01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:45,100 prea information, we can add that and 2016 01:28:45,100 --> 01:28:46,100 we should but this is available 2017 01:28:46,100 --> 01:28:49,100 publicly, it is available in 2018 01:28:51,100 --> 01:28:55,201 multiple languages and I also want to 2019 01:28:57,100 --> 01:28:59,100 share that while almost every single 2020 01:28:59,100 --> 01:29:01,401 juvenile hall across the 2021 01:29:04,100 --> 01:29:08,100 state, across the country has had in 2022 01:29:08,100 --> 01:29:12,100 decades past cases of, you know, I'm 2023 01:29:12,100 --> 01:29:15,100 not going to sugar coat it, sexual 2024 01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:18,100 assault and rape of young people, it's 2025 01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:22,100 a really hard topic to wrap your mind 2026 01:29:22,100 --> 01:29:25,100 around and that is absolutely wrong 2027 01:29:25,100 --> 01:29:28,100 and all of those people deserve 2028 01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:29,100 justice. 2029 01:29:29,100 --> 01:29:31,100 our chief of probation, chief john 2030 01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:34,100 keen took this concern very seriously. 2031 01:29:34,100 --> 01:29:36,100 he can tell you exactly how long ago, 2032 01:29:36,100 --> 01:29:39,100 I want to say like ten years ago at 2033 01:29:39,100 --> 01:29:42,100 least and he fought with the union to 2034 01:29:42,100 --> 01:29:45,100 make sure that every single employee 2035 01:29:45,100 --> 01:29:48,100 and every single space in the juvenile 2036 01:29:48,100 --> 01:29:50,100 hall currently has both video and 2037 01:29:50,100 --> 01:29:53,100 audio recording to make sure that no 2038 01:29:53,100 --> 01:29:56,100 young person is ever in jeopardy of 2039 01:29:56,100 --> 01:29:57,100 that kind of abuse. 2040 01:29:57,100 --> 01:30:01,801 and so some of the concerns -- I 2041 01:30:06,100 --> 01:30:08,100 understand because I have most of my 2042 01:30:08,100 --> 01:30:10,100 family have been incarcerated here in 2043 01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:14,201 san mateo county in the past and 2044 01:30:15,100 --> 01:30:17,100 frankly conditions were very 2045 01:30:17,100 --> 01:30:20,100 concerning in the past and I think all 2046 01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:23,100 of us take that very seriously. 2047 01:30:23,100 --> 01:30:26,100 but we do have to -- I do think it's 2048 01:30:26,100 --> 01:30:29,601 important that we clarify what changes 2049 01:30:30,100 --> 01:30:31,100 have been made to the address those 2050 01:30:31,100 --> 01:30:34,100 concerns of the past and that we are 2051 01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:37,100 all having the same conversation about 2052 01:30:37,100 --> 01:30:39,100 what our starting place is. 2053 01:30:39,100 --> 01:30:42,100 in terms of the food, I know several 2054 01:30:42,100 --> 01:30:45,100 of us have gone to the juvenile hall, 2055 01:30:45,100 --> 01:30:47,100 have had the food, the food is 2056 01:30:47,100 --> 01:30:48,100 regulated by the state. 2057 01:30:48,100 --> 01:30:51,100 all of the flooded that young people 2058 01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:54,100 get many the juvenile hall is planned 2059 01:30:54,100 --> 01:30:58,100 and approved by a dietitian for every 2060 01:30:58,100 --> 01:31:01,100 single young person and they are given 2061 01:31:01,100 --> 01:31:02,100 extra paod when they want it. 2062 01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:06,201 I have to admit, it's not mcdonalds, 2063 01:31:07,100 --> 01:31:11,100 it's not like home cooking, it's not 2064 01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:13,100 what young people probably crave or 2065 01:31:13,100 --> 01:31:15,100 what they're used to when they're out 2066 01:31:15,100 --> 01:31:18,100 and they're at home, but I don't think 2067 01:31:18,100 --> 01:31:21,100 that it is inedible, and I have gone 2068 01:31:21,100 --> 01:31:23,100 and tried it myself. 2069 01:31:23,100 --> 01:31:27,100 I'm more than willing to go again. 2070 01:31:27,100 --> 01:31:30,100 I've met with the chefs that prepare 2071 01:31:30,100 --> 01:31:33,601 the food for the young people. 2072 01:31:34,100 --> 01:31:36,100 many of them worked at the juvenile 2073 01:31:36,100 --> 01:31:39,100 hall when they handed a functioning 2074 01:31:39,100 --> 01:31:41,100 kitchen at the juvenile hall and they 2075 01:31:41,100 --> 01:31:44,100 care about those young people. 2076 01:31:44,100 --> 01:31:47,100 so, I'm not saying that the food is 2077 01:31:47,100 --> 01:31:51,201 perfect, but I don't think that the 2078 01:31:53,100 --> 01:31:54,100 assertions that it's inedible are fully 2079 01:31:54,100 --> 01:31:55,100 true. 2080 01:31:55,100 --> 01:31:58,100 and I want to -- I also want to 2081 01:31:58,100 --> 01:32:00,100 address that I heard that the study 2082 01:32:00,100 --> 01:32:02,100 session has been postponed or 2083 01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:04,100 cancelled four times. 2084 01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:10,100 I think it's been twice from my 2085 01:32:10,100 --> 01:32:11,100 recollection, I don't think it's been 2086 01:32:11,100 --> 01:32:15,801 four times, and the last thing I will 2087 01:32:16,100 --> 01:32:20,801 say is that we have in this community 2088 01:32:25,100 --> 01:32:30,401 many people on all sides of -- on all 2089 01:32:32,100 --> 01:32:34,100 sides wanting to help young people. 2090 01:32:34,100 --> 01:32:36,100 I love the idea of a dashboard, I 2091 01:32:36,100 --> 01:32:37,100 think that's a great idea. 2092 01:32:37,100 --> 01:32:39,100 I think there are improvements that 2093 01:32:39,100 --> 01:32:40,100 can be made. 2094 01:32:40,100 --> 01:32:42,100 one of them that is already being 2095 01:32:42,100 --> 01:32:44,100 implemented is that young people now 2096 01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:46,100 have more services being offered to 2097 01:32:46,100 --> 01:32:50,100 them in the juvenile hall than they 2098 01:32:50,100 --> 01:32:53,100 ever had before and that should be 2099 01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:55,100 acknowledged. 2100 01:32:55,100 --> 01:32:58,100 and we approved that I want to say two 2101 01:32:58,100 --> 01:33:02,801 months ago at this dais and -- so, 2102 01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:08,100 ascetically, you know, as a liaison, 2103 01:33:08,100 --> 01:33:12,801 I'm going to be a little honest here 2104 01:33:13,100 --> 01:33:16,100 right now, I heard someone I respect 2105 01:33:16,100 --> 01:33:18,100 dearly give a public comment and say 2106 01:33:18,100 --> 01:33:20,100 we should all get in the same room and 2107 01:33:20,100 --> 01:33:21,100 have the same conversation. 2108 01:33:21,100 --> 01:33:23,100 I have been in that room and I can 2109 01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:27,100 tell you that it is hard to have the 2110 01:33:27,100 --> 01:33:30,601 same conversation when folks seem to 2111 01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:36,100 have other motivations for what 2112 01:33:37,100 --> 01:33:39,100 they're coming in for. 2113 01:33:39,100 --> 01:33:43,100 I have been to the juvenile justice 2114 01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:45,100 and delinquency prevention commission 2115 01:33:45,100 --> 01:33:46,100 meetings several times. 2116 01:33:46,100 --> 01:33:48,100 I will tell you as someone that cares 2117 01:33:48,100 --> 01:33:50,100 deeply about young people, I have seen 2118 01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:55,100 staff and I myself have felt like I am 2119 01:33:55,100 --> 01:33:57,100 being interrogated by commissioners 2120 01:33:57,100 --> 01:33:59,100 and disparaged at times and that is 2121 01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,401 not a collaborative space. 2122 01:34:02,100 --> 01:34:05,100 we created a survey that was mentioned 2123 01:34:05,100 --> 01:34:06,100 earlier that supposedly there was 40 2124 01:34:06,100 --> 01:34:09,100 hours of preparation for and for the 2125 01:34:09,100 --> 01:34:12,100 study session, I have not seen that 2126 01:34:12,100 --> 01:34:13,100 collaborative spirit personally and 2127 01:34:13,100 --> 01:34:15,100 neither have my staff. 2128 01:34:15,100 --> 01:34:18,100 we shared a survey for every 2129 01:34:18,100 --> 01:34:21,100 commissioner to respond to, to talk 2130 01:34:21,100 --> 01:34:24,100 about where they're supported, where 2131 01:34:24,100 --> 01:34:27,100 they could get more support, do they 2132 01:34:27,100 --> 01:34:30,100 understand their role, a very 2133 01:34:31,100 --> 01:34:32,100 objective, fair survey. 2134 01:34:32,100 --> 01:34:34,100 I got an e-mail back from the 2135 01:34:34,100 --> 01:34:35,100 commission saying they want to have a 2136 01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:39,201 meeting so they can respond one time 2137 01:34:40,100 --> 01:34:41,100 to the survey. 2138 01:34:41,100 --> 01:34:44,601 I don't understand what that's about. 2139 01:34:45,100 --> 01:34:47,100 it's odd to me. 2140 01:34:47,100 --> 01:34:49,100 it's odd to me there is not like a 2141 01:34:49,100 --> 01:34:51,100 feeling of safety that every 2142 01:34:51,100 --> 01:34:53,401 individual commissioner can respond 2143 01:34:54,100 --> 01:34:56,100 individually, so I'm just going to 2144 01:34:56,100 --> 01:34:59,100 wrap up, but basically I think we need 2145 01:34:59,100 --> 01:35:02,100 to be in the same room having the same 2146 01:35:02,100 --> 01:35:06,100 conversations, it is the hard to do 2147 01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:10,100 that when the tone in that space is 2148 01:35:10,100 --> 01:35:12,100 not mutually respectful to everyone 2149 01:35:12,100 --> 01:35:16,100 that is there and I can also tell you 2150 01:35:16,100 --> 01:35:19,100 that I have known group supervisors 2151 01:35:19,100 --> 01:35:23,201 that have worked in the juvenile hall 2152 01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:27,100 for decades that bring formally 2153 01:35:27,100 --> 01:35:29,401 incarcerated individuals to bring 2154 01:35:30,100 --> 01:35:32,100 back to mentor people who are 2155 01:35:32,100 --> 01:35:34,100 incarcerated in the juvenile hall. 2156 01:35:34,100 --> 01:35:36,100 people in the juvenile hall care 2157 01:35:36,100 --> 01:35:38,100 deeply about the people will, they are 2158 01:35:38,100 --> 01:35:41,100 not there to harm them, so it is hard 2159 01:35:41,100 --> 01:35:45,100 for staff to be in a space where they 2160 01:35:45,100 --> 01:35:48,601 are constantly attacked and not -- 2161 01:35:49,100 --> 01:35:51,100 they don't feel like they're part of 2162 01:35:51,100 --> 01:35:53,100 -- rowing in the same direction and 2163 01:35:53,100 --> 01:35:56,100 working together to better serve young 2164 01:35:56,100 --> 01:35:57,100 people so I'm going to end it there 2165 01:35:57,100 --> 01:36:01,801 and happy to pass it over to my 2166 01:36:03,100 --> 01:36:05,100 colleague, supervisor mueller? 2167 01:36:05,100 --> 01:36:07,100 >> thank you, president corzo. 2168 01:36:07,100 --> 01:36:09,100 I want today share with folks about 2169 01:36:09,100 --> 01:36:11,100 the background about what happened 2170 01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:12,100 here because sometimes it's not always 2171 01:36:12,100 --> 01:36:15,100 apparent and I heard a few people talk 2172 01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:19,100 about when they came to the podium the 2173 01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:21,100 fact that, well, there might be 2174 01:36:21,100 --> 01:36:24,100 something going on with budget the 2175 01:36:24,100 --> 01:36:26,100 fourth time, so I think it's fair to 2176 01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:27,100 both president corzo and for all of 2177 01:36:27,100 --> 01:36:30,100 you to understand what happened was 2178 01:36:30,100 --> 01:36:33,100 that about three weeks ago, we 2179 01:36:33,100 --> 01:36:35,100 received the calculation that our 2180 01:36:35,100 --> 01:36:37,100 vehicle license fee shortfall for next 2181 01:36:37,100 --> 01:36:40,100 year is going to be close to the 2182 01:36:40,100 --> 01:36:43,100 quarter of a billion dollars, 230 2183 01:36:43,100 --> 01:36:45,100 million dollars potentially unfunded 2184 01:36:45,100 --> 01:36:48,100 by the state which has devastated 2185 01:36:48,100 --> 01:36:49,100 consequences for county services and 2186 01:36:49,100 --> 01:36:50,100 for all of our cities. 2187 01:36:50,100 --> 01:36:52,100 it could put every city budget in san 2188 01:36:52,100 --> 01:36:55,100 mateo county into the red. 2189 01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:57,100 it will have devastating impacts 2190 01:36:57,100 --> 01:37:00,100 across all of our social services in 2191 01:37:00,100 --> 01:37:02,100 the county. 2192 01:37:02,100 --> 01:37:06,100 so, with that news, we had to go into 2193 01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:09,100 high gear in the county to go ahead 2194 01:37:09,100 --> 01:37:11,100 and respond to that as quickly as 2195 01:37:11,100 --> 01:37:13,100 possible and will have been ongoing 2196 01:37:13,100 --> 01:37:15,100 discussions taking play across all of 2197 01:37:15,100 --> 01:37:17,100 our cities, across our county 2198 01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:20,100 executive's office and in sacramento, 2199 01:37:20,100 --> 01:37:21,100 everyone's entirely engaged in this 2200 01:37:21,100 --> 01:37:22,100 process. 2201 01:37:22,100 --> 01:37:25,100 we have a very short window to the end 2202 01:37:25,100 --> 01:37:28,100 of august with the legislature will be 2203 01:37:28,100 --> 01:37:30,100 engaged this year to address this 2204 01:37:30,100 --> 01:37:31,100 issue. 2205 01:37:31,100 --> 01:37:33,100 it is imminent and could not be more 2206 01:37:33,100 --> 01:37:34,100 urgent. 2207 01:37:34,100 --> 01:37:36,100 and in all of that, what ended up 2208 01:37:36,100 --> 01:37:39,100 happening is -- and supervisor -- 2209 01:37:39,100 --> 01:37:40,100 president corzo didn't know it, she 2210 01:37:40,100 --> 01:37:43,100 had probably the largest most 2211 01:37:46,100 --> 01:37:48,100 complicated study session dropped in 2212 01:37:48,100 --> 01:37:49,100 her lap last week to have to run a 2213 01:37:49,100 --> 01:37:50,100 study session this week not only with 2214 01:37:50,100 --> 01:37:54,100 all of us which as you can imagine can 2215 01:37:54,100 --> 01:37:56,100 be unwieldly at times and all of the 2216 01:37:56,100 --> 01:37:58,100 public but every city in the county 2217 01:37:58,100 --> 01:38:01,100 also participating in the study 2218 01:38:01,100 --> 01:38:02,100 session. 2219 01:38:02,100 --> 01:38:06,801 so, with all of that, you can now 2220 01:38:07,100 --> 01:38:08,100 understand why the prospect of having 2221 01:38:08,100 --> 01:38:12,801 o do two study sessions in the same 2222 01:38:15,100 --> 01:38:16,100 week this complicated could be 2223 01:38:16,100 --> 01:38:17,100 daunting. 2224 01:38:17,100 --> 01:38:19,100 while I understand folks came today 2225 01:38:19,100 --> 01:38:21,100 looking at this from the lens that 2226 01:38:21,100 --> 01:38:24,100 there might be something, it's been 2227 01:38:24,100 --> 01:38:27,601 cancelled so many times, is it 2228 01:38:28,100 --> 01:38:29,100 personal to us, it was tent personal 2229 01:38:29,100 --> 01:38:32,100 to you, we're just trying to solve a 2230 01:38:32,100 --> 01:38:33,100 problem right now that's incredibly 2231 01:38:33,100 --> 01:38:34,100 imminent and urgent. 2232 01:38:34,100 --> 01:38:36,100 thank you. 2233 01:38:37,100 --> 01:38:39,401 >> thank you, supervisor speier? 2234 01:38:40,100 --> 01:38:42,100 >> thank you. 2235 01:38:42,100 --> 01:38:44,100 now, I think there's some lessons 2236 01:38:44,100 --> 01:38:46,100 learned here. 2237 01:38:46,100 --> 01:38:50,100 one is to the greatest extent possible 2238 01:38:50,100 --> 01:38:53,100 when we schedule a study session, we 2239 01:38:53,100 --> 01:38:54,100 should do everything in our power to 2240 01:38:54,100 --> 01:38:56,100 retain it. 2241 01:38:57,100 --> 01:39:00,601 I had requested this study session 2242 01:39:02,100 --> 01:39:04,100 last december for lots of important 2243 01:39:04,100 --> 01:39:06,100 reasons, it got postponed, but today's 2244 01:39:06,100 --> 01:39:09,601 a good example of what happens 2245 01:39:10,100 --> 01:39:12,100 when you postpone a study session, 2246 01:39:12,100 --> 01:39:13,100 people are very concerned about it, 2247 01:39:13,100 --> 01:39:15,100 they come and they speak and frankly 2248 01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:19,801 if we had the study session, we could 2249 01:39:20,100 --> 01:39:22,100 have addressed a lot of these issues, 2250 01:39:22,100 --> 01:39:24,100 so far on this particular issue, we 2251 01:39:24,100 --> 01:39:27,100 have heard from one side. 2252 01:39:29,100 --> 01:39:32,100 it's an important message but it's one 2253 01:39:32,100 --> 01:39:35,100 side and we need to hear from both 2254 01:39:35,100 --> 01:39:36,100 sides. 2255 01:39:36,100 --> 01:39:39,100 I have been up to juvenile hall, I 2256 01:39:39,100 --> 01:39:41,100 have had the lunch there, I encourage 2257 01:39:41,100 --> 01:39:44,100 my colleagues to try and make time to 2258 01:39:44,100 --> 01:39:45,100 do it. 2259 01:39:45,100 --> 01:39:49,100 it is an impressive facility and I 2260 01:39:49,100 --> 01:39:52,601 haven't met with the juveniles yet, 2261 01:39:53,100 --> 01:39:57,100 but I could think that there's lots of 2262 01:39:57,100 --> 01:39:59,100 positive elements to the program 2263 01:39:59,100 --> 01:40:02,100 there, it's a beautiful outdoor 2264 01:40:03,100 --> 01:40:04,100 facility. 2265 01:40:04,100 --> 01:40:06,100 it's important to remember that those 2266 01:40:06,100 --> 01:40:10,100 who are there and there are close to 2267 01:40:10,100 --> 01:40:13,100 30 or 32 juveniles, they are will 2268 01:40:13,100 --> 01:40:16,601 because they have been convicted of 2269 01:40:18,100 --> 01:40:21,100 very serious crimes, crimes like 2270 01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:23,401 murder, attempted murder, sexual 2271 01:40:24,100 --> 01:40:27,100 assault, and they're spending their 2272 01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:31,100 time there -- anywhere from 8, 10 2273 01:40:34,100 --> 01:40:37,601 years until they're 25, plus we have 2274 01:40:38,100 --> 01:40:40,100 some since the closure of the state 2275 01:40:40,100 --> 01:40:44,201 facility that have now been moved to 2276 01:40:45,100 --> 01:40:47,100 our juvenile site. 2277 01:40:47,100 --> 01:40:50,601 so, the issue about ipads, that's 2278 01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:54,100 something I was going to take action 2279 01:40:54,100 --> 01:40:56,100 on immediately and then I found out, 2280 01:40:56,100 --> 01:40:59,100 they do have access to ipads, they do 2281 01:40:59,100 --> 01:41:01,100 have access to the computers. 2282 01:41:01,100 --> 01:41:05,100 one of the reasons why they lose 2283 01:41:05,100 --> 01:41:06,100 access to computers is because they 2284 01:41:06,100 --> 01:41:09,100 are looking at prostitution or 2285 01:41:10,100 --> 01:41:11,100 pornographic sites. 2286 01:41:11,100 --> 01:41:12,100 so, there are two sides to the story, 2287 01:41:12,100 --> 01:41:15,100 we want to the hear both sides. 2288 01:41:15,100 --> 01:41:18,100 a great lesson though, as much as 2289 01:41:18,100 --> 01:41:22,100 possible, we should try and keep those 2290 01:41:22,100 --> 01:41:23,100 dates. 2291 01:41:23,100 --> 01:41:24,100 e-bikes is another one where we've had 2292 01:41:24,100 --> 01:41:28,201 to have that tech neck -- technically 2293 01:41:29,100 --> 01:41:30,100 two or three times and I think we 2294 01:41:30,100 --> 01:41:32,100 should to the greatest extent possible 2295 01:41:32,100 --> 01:41:36,801 retain the dates that we had for them. 2296 01:41:37,100 --> 01:41:38,100 and finally there's one other issue I 2297 01:41:38,100 --> 01:41:41,100 want to bring up that we should 2298 01:41:41,100 --> 01:41:44,100 consider, it's as urgent as the 2299 01:41:44,100 --> 01:41:46,100 detention facilities and that is to 2300 01:41:46,100 --> 01:41:49,100 have our elections department director 2301 01:41:51,100 --> 01:41:53,100 meet with us, whether it's -- it 2302 01:41:53,100 --> 01:41:55,100 doesn't necessarily have to be a study 2303 01:41:55,100 --> 01:41:58,601 session but a presentation, we have 2304 01:42:00,100 --> 01:42:03,100 to make sure our sites are going to be 2305 01:42:03,100 --> 01:42:06,100 secure for our elections, these 2306 01:42:06,100 --> 01:42:08,100 mid-term elections could be impacted 2307 01:42:08,100 --> 01:42:11,100 by ice and others coming in to try and 2308 01:42:11,100 --> 01:42:14,100 scare people away from election 2309 01:42:17,100 --> 01:42:18,100 sites. 2310 01:42:18,100 --> 01:42:21,100 so, there's lots of lessons 2311 01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:25,100 learned on all sides and I hope we 2312 01:42:25,100 --> 01:42:27,100 will take it into can account in the 2313 01:42:27,100 --> 01:42:28,100 future. 2314 01:42:28,100 --> 01:42:29,100 >> supervisor gauthier? 2315 01:42:29,100 --> 01:42:31,100 >> I want to say thank you for that 2316 01:42:31,100 --> 01:42:34,100 comment and I do agree, we keep things 2317 01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:35,100 on par. 2318 01:42:35,100 --> 01:42:37,100 there are two sides to every story and 2319 01:42:37,100 --> 01:42:39,100 I'm so glad that chief keen is here in 2320 01:42:39,100 --> 01:42:41,100 the room. 2321 01:42:41,100 --> 01:42:43,100 we have sat down and had some of these 2322 01:42:43,100 --> 01:42:44,100 conversations as well and I know there 2323 01:42:44,100 --> 01:42:47,100 is an opportunity to really address 2324 01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:49,100 some of the comments and the 2325 01:42:49,100 --> 01:42:51,100 commentary that's in the public. 2326 01:42:51,100 --> 01:42:54,100 I'm looking forward to sitting down 2327 01:42:54,100 --> 01:42:55,100 with everyone to have that conversation on 2328 01:42:55,100 --> 01:42:57,100 both sides and I'm hopeful we'll walk 2329 01:42:57,100 --> 01:43:00,100 away knowing we all care about the 2330 01:43:00,100 --> 01:43:02,100 youth in our county. 2331 01:43:02,100 --> 01:43:04,100 and we want them to be safe. 2332 01:43:04,100 --> 01:43:07,100 I have not gone to have good will but 2333 01:43:07,100 --> 01:43:11,100 I will plan to have a meal at the site 2334 01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:13,100 as well so that I can know firsthand. 2335 01:43:13,100 --> 01:43:16,100 I sit on the jjcc, so working with 2336 01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:19,100 chief keen and all those who are 2337 01:43:19,100 --> 01:43:22,100 interested, let just continue to have 2338 01:43:22,100 --> 01:43:23,100 conversations about what's important 2339 01:43:23,100 --> 01:43:25,100 to us. 2340 01:43:25,100 --> 01:43:27,401 >> thank you, supervisor canepa? 2341 01:43:29,100 --> 01:43:31,100 >> I think dialogue and discourse are 2342 01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:32,100 extremely important. 2343 01:43:32,100 --> 01:43:36,100 I don't know what the schedule is, you 2344 01:43:36,100 --> 01:43:39,100 know, this is supervisor corzo's 2345 01:43:39,100 --> 01:43:42,100 committee and oversight, I trust 2346 01:43:43,100 --> 01:43:44,100 supervisor corzo's judgment, I used to 2347 01:43:44,100 --> 01:43:48,100 serve on the jjdpc, you know, that 2348 01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:51,100 being said though, I think we're all 2349 01:43:51,100 --> 01:43:52,100 sort of -- we have an interest. 2350 01:43:52,100 --> 01:43:55,100 the interest is making sure that we do 2351 01:43:55,100 --> 01:43:59,100 our best for those children who are 2352 01:43:59,100 --> 01:44:01,100 within the facility and I just think 2353 01:44:01,100 --> 01:44:04,100 as we move forward and I don't know 2354 01:44:04,100 --> 01:44:06,100 what the schedule is, maybe it's this 2355 01:44:06,100 --> 01:44:07,100 year, maybe it's next year. 2356 01:44:07,100 --> 01:44:10,100 I think a convening is important from 2357 01:44:10,100 --> 01:44:14,201 the staff perspective as well as the 2358 01:44:16,100 --> 01:44:17,100 members who sit on the commission. 2359 01:44:17,100 --> 01:44:19,100 I'll just speak to the membership a 2360 01:44:19,100 --> 01:44:22,100 little, I had the opportunity to work 2361 01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:24,100 with them, no different than with the 2362 01:44:24,100 --> 01:44:26,100 youth commission, I think you have 2363 01:44:26,100 --> 01:44:29,100 people who are extraordinarily earnest 2364 01:44:29,100 --> 01:44:33,100 in their work, people who really do 2365 01:44:33,100 --> 01:44:36,100 want to make a difference and I think 2366 01:44:36,100 --> 01:44:38,100 on both sides, I think chief keen's 2367 01:44:38,100 --> 01:44:41,100 side as well as this side, I think we 2368 01:44:41,100 --> 01:44:45,100 all want to make sure we're able to 2369 01:44:45,100 --> 01:44:46,100 help our children, provide them the 2370 01:44:46,100 --> 01:44:48,100 resources they need to be successful 2371 01:44:48,100 --> 01:44:51,100 and make no mistake about it, they are 2372 01:44:51,100 --> 01:44:53,100 young people and they are children and 2373 01:44:53,100 --> 01:44:57,100 we are a county that believes in 2374 01:44:57,100 --> 01:44:59,100 rehabilitation and so I do think 2375 01:44:59,100 --> 01:45:02,100 moving forward, I think a convening or 2376 01:45:02,100 --> 01:45:04,100 a study session would be important so 2377 01:45:04,100 --> 01:45:07,100 that both sides could really have a 2378 01:45:07,100 --> 01:45:09,100 discussion, so I appreciate the 2379 01:45:09,100 --> 01:45:10,100 opportunity, madam chair. 2380 01:45:10,100 --> 01:45:12,100 >> thank you. 2381 01:45:15,100 --> 01:45:16,100 so, with that, I do want to invite 2382 01:45:16,100 --> 01:45:17,100 chief keen to give some brief comments 2383 01:45:17,100 --> 01:45:20,100 and then we can get to the agenda 2384 01:45:20,100 --> 01:45:23,601 builder and talk about dates and 2385 01:45:24,100 --> 01:45:27,100 whatnot, so welcome, chief keen. 2386 01:45:35,100 --> 01:45:36,100 >> good morning, supervisors, thank 2387 01:45:36,100 --> 01:45:39,100 you very much for the opportunity to 2388 01:45:39,100 --> 01:45:40,100 speak. 2389 01:45:40,100 --> 01:45:43,100 I'll be brief because I understand we 2390 01:45:43,100 --> 01:45:45,100 will certainly have an opportunity to 2391 01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:46,100 speak to these things further. 2392 01:45:46,100 --> 01:45:49,100 you know, I want to say to the public 2393 01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:52,100 has I completely understand the 2394 01:45:54,100 --> 01:45:57,601 interest and the issues and if 2395 01:45:59,100 --> 01:46:03,801 I were in their shoes and heard some 2396 01:46:04,100 --> 01:46:07,100 of the things that were represented, 2397 01:46:07,100 --> 01:46:08,100 I would be concerned as well but I 2398 01:46:08,100 --> 01:46:09,100 think theres an important kind of 2399 01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:10,100 measure that comes from this which is 2400 01:46:10,100 --> 01:46:13,100 the importance of people who are given 2401 01:46:13,100 --> 01:46:16,100 positions to ensure they provide 2402 01:46:18,100 --> 01:46:20,100 accurate information, intentionally 2403 01:46:21,100 --> 01:46:24,601 misleading comments can lead to I 2404 01:46:25,100 --> 01:46:27,100 think unfortunate situations where we 2405 01:46:27,100 --> 01:46:31,100 have to address things in a way that 2406 01:46:31,100 --> 01:46:33,100 seems combative because that's no the 2407 01:46:33,100 --> 01:46:35,100 intention, the intention has always 2408 01:46:35,100 --> 01:46:37,100 been for our department to be 2409 01:46:37,100 --> 01:46:38,100 collaborative with groups that we 2410 01:46:38,100 --> 01:46:40,100 work with, collaborative with the 2411 01:46:40,100 --> 01:46:42,100 community as a whole and transparent 2412 01:46:42,100 --> 01:46:44,100 in the way we do our work. 2413 01:46:44,100 --> 01:46:46,100 I look forward to the opportunity to 2414 01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:49,100 speak to all these

02:37:33,100 --> 02:37:36,100 care for the uis medi-cal 3536 02:37:36,100 --> 02:37:38,100 beneficiaries and lower reimbursement 3537 02:37:38,100 --> 02:37:40,100 for the medical center. 3538 02:37:40,100 --> 02:37:43,100 and their current estimates are that a 3539 02:37:43,100 --> 02:37:46,601 loss of about 3.6 million dollars in 3540 02:37:47,100 --> 02:37:49,100 fiscal year 26-27. 3541

like csec. 3619 02:41:11,100 --> 02:41:13,100 last month we reached out to our 3620 02:41:13,100 --> 02:41:15,100 county departments to flag additional 3621 02:41:15,100 --> 02:41:17,100 bills that

continuing to track 3628 02:41:29,100 --> 02:41:31,100 several issues, many of which are 3629 02:41:31,100 --> 02:41:33,100 still developing. 3630 02:41:33,100 --> 02:41:35,100 this thursday, the senate and assembly 3631 02:41:35,100 --> 02:41:37,100 appropriations committee wills hold 3632 02:41:37,100 --> 02:41:39,100 their suspense file hearings, members 3633 02:41:39,100 --> 02:41:41,100 will weigh the fiscal impacts of bills 3634 02:41:41,100 --> 02:41:43,100 and determine which measures will 3635 02:41:43,100 --> 02:41:45,100 move forward to the floor for a final 3636 02:41:45,100 --> 02:41:46,100 vote and which will not. 3637 02:41:46,100 --> 02:41:49,100 there are currently 560 assembly bills 3638 02:41:49,100 --> 02:41:52,100 on the senate appropriations suspense 3639

3642 02:42:00,100 --> 02:42:02,100 another issue we've been follow is the 3643 02:42:02,100 --> 02:42:04,100 potential reform of the wild fire 3644 02:42:04,100 --> 02:42:06,100 liability fund which provides a source 3645 02:42:06,100 --> 02:42:08,100 of funding to reimburse claims arising 3646 02:42:08,100 --> 02:42:11,100 from wild fires caused by utility 3647 02:42:11,100 --> 02:42:12,100 companies. 3648 02:42:12,100 --> 02:42:13,100 during summer recess, there were 3649 02:42:13,100 --> 02:42:15,100 discussions about potential changes to 3650 02:42:15,100 --> 02:42:17,100 the fund, however the administration 3651 02:42:17,100 --> 02:42:19,100 and legislature have not yet released 3652 02:42:19,100 --> 02:42:20,100 a formal proposal. 3653 02:42:20,100 --> 02:42:23,100 but we expect to see more on this in 3654 02:42:23,100 --> 02:42:24,100 the coming week. 3655 02:42:24,100 --> 02:42:27,100 briefly going back to budget related 3656 02:42:27,100 --> 02:42:30,100 issues, the final budget agreement 3657 02:42:30,100 --> 02:42:32,100 deferred proposition for climate bond 3658 02:42:32,100 --> 02:42:34,100 funding, the legislature are 3659 02:42:34,100 --> 02:42:36,100 continuing discussions about how those 3660 02:42:36,100 --> 02:42:38,100 funds will be allocated so we expect 3661 02:42:38,100 --> 02:42:40,100 there will be more information in the 3662 02:42:40,100 --> 02:42:42,100 coming weeks as well. 3663 02:42:42,100 --> 02:42:44,100 and finally an issue that has been 3664 02:42:44,100 --> 02:42:47,100 elevated by several urban counties 3665 02:42:47,100 --> 02:42:49,100 relates to recent legislation 3666 02:42:49,100 --> 02:42:52,100 concerning juvenile abuse claimers and 3667 02:42:52,100 --> 02:42:53,100 settlements, in 2019, legislation 3668 02:42:53,100 --> 02:42:55,100 extended the statute of limitations 3669 02:42:55,100 --> 02:42:57,100 for juvenile abuse lawsuits 3670 02:42:57,100 --> 02:43:00,100 including claims that may have 3671 02:43:00,100 --> 02:43:01,100 occurred decades ago. 3672 02:43:01,100 --> 02:43:03,100 this has resulted in significant 3673 02:43:03,100 --> 02:43:06,100 fnabler exposure for counties and 3674 02:43:06,100 --> 02:43:09,100 other public entities, however senate 3675 02:43:09,100 --> 02:43:12,100 laird does have a vehicle sb577 which 3676 02:43:12,100 --> 02:43:15,100 is intended to strengthen survivor 3677 02:43:15,100 --> 02:43:17,100 response, support and reporting while 3678 02:43:17,100 --> 02:43:19,100 also ensuring that counties and other 3679 02:43:19,100 --> 02:43:22,100 local agencies have the resources and 3680 02:43:22,100 --> 02:43:24,100 support needed to implement the law. 3681 02:43:24,100 --> 02:43:25,100 so we'll continue to track these 3682 02:43:25,100 --> 02:43:28,100 issues and provide updates as more 3683 02:43:28,100 --> 02:43:30,100 detailers become available. 3684 02:43:33,100 --> 02:43:35,100 while looking ahead to the november

includes updates 3790 02:47:50,100 --> 02:47:52,100 to the home investment partnership 3791 02:47:52,100 --> 02:47:53,100 program a three year reauthorization 3792 02:47:53,100 --> 02:47:56,100 of the community development block 3793 02:47:56,100 --> 02:47:59,100 grant disaster recovery program and 3794 02:47:59,100 --> 02:48:02,100 additional flexibility of cdbg funds 3795 02:48:02,100 --> 02:48:06,100 to be used to fund affordable housing 3796 02:48:06,100 --> 02:48:07,100 projects. 3797 02:48:07,100 --> 02:48:09,100 turning to the administration on may 3798 02:48:09,100 --> 02:48:11,100 29, the office of management and 3799 02:48:11,100 --> 02:48:14,100 budget published a proposed that would 3800 02:48:14,100 --> 02:48:17,100 represent a significant overhaul of 3801 02:48:17,100 --> 02:48:18,100 federal grant regulations. 3802 02:48:18,100 --> 02:48:21,100 the proposed rule would give federal 3803 02:48:21,100 --> 02:48:23,100 agencies broad authority to terminate 3804 02:48:23,100 --> 02:48:25,100 grantees on a basis that they no 3805 02:48:25,100 --> 02:48:28,100 longer serve program goals, agency 3806 02:48:28,100 --> 02:48:29,100 priorities or national interests. 3807 02:48:29,100 --> 02:48:32,100 there's a lot of other elements 3808 02:48:32,100 --> 02:48:33,100 included in this proposed rule. 3809 02:48:33,100 --> 02:48:37,100 I can say that the proposed rule 3810 02:48:37,100 --> 02:48:39,100 public comment period closed on july 3811 02:48:39,100 --> 02:48:42,601 13, the county signed on to a 3812 02:48:43,100 --> 02:48:44,100 coalition comment letter expressing 3813 02:48:44,100 --> 02:48:46,100 our strong opposition to the proposed 3814 02:48:46,100 --> 02:48:49,100 changes and our county federal 3815 02:48:52,100 --> 02:48:54,100 advocacy team has been actively 3816 02:48:54,100 --> 02:48:57,100 engaged on this issue working closely 3817 02:48:57,100 --> 02:48:59,100 with nako, the national association of 3818 02:48:59,100 --> 02:49:01,100 counties and other organizations to 3819 02:49:01,100 --> 02:49:03,100 raise awareness and emg kate members 3820 02:49:03,100 --> 02:49:06,100 about the proposed rules, potential 3821 02:49:06,100 --> 02:49:08,401 impacts and advocate for 3822 02:49:09,100 --> 02:49:10,100 congressional action. 3823 02:49:10,100 --> 02:49:13,100 it's also important to note that the 3824 02:49:13,100 --> 02:49:17,100 -- there was a delay included in the 3825 02:49:17,100 --> 02:49:20,100 current cr that would push this 3826 02:49:20,100 --> 02:49:22,100 implementation of this proposed rule 3827 02:49:22,100 --> 02:49:24,100 out to december 11. 3828 02:49:24,100 --> 02:49:27,100 so, the cr is now before the house for 3829 02:49:27,100 --> 02:49:29,100 consideration in september. 3830 02:49:29,100 --> 02:49:31,100 and finally both the house and the 3831 02:49:31,100 --> 02:49:33,100 senate are now in august congressional 3832 02:49:33,100 --> 02:49:36,100 recess and between now and the 3833 02:49:36,100 --> 02:49:37,100 november elections, the senate is 3834 02:49:37,100 --> 02:49:39,100 scheduled to be in session for only 3835 02:49:39,100 --> 02:49:40,100 three weeks and the house is 3836 02:49:40,100 --> 02:49:42,100 scheduled to be in session for only 3837 02:49:42,100 --> 02:49:44,100 four weeks. 3838 02:49:44,100 --> 02:49:48,100 so, and as such, the it is expected 3839 02:49:48,100 --> 02:49:49,100 that once congress returns to dc in 3840 02:49:49,100 --> 02:49:52,100 september, it will act on a small 3841 02:49:52,100 --> 02:49:54,100 number of legislative items before 3842 02:49:54,100 --> 02:49:57,100 adjourning until after the election. 3843 02:49:57,100 --> 02:49:58,100 alright. 3844 02:49:58,100 --> 02:50:00,100 and finally I just wanted to provide 3845 02:50:00,100 --> 02:50:04,201 you with a quick update on our 3846 02:50:07,100 --> 02:50:09,100 coordinated -- to update your board on 3847 02:50:09,100 --> 02:50:10,100 coordinated actions between the county 3848 02:50:10,100 --> 02:50:13,100 attorney's office and my unit, 3849 02:50:14,100 --> 02:50:16,100 again, several trump administration 3850 02:50:16,100 --> 02:50:18,100 actions, so this slide provides you 3851 02:50:18,100 --> 02:50:20,100 with an overview of these actions 3852 02:50:20,100 --> 02:50:22,100 taken to date which include submission 3853 02:50:22,100 --> 02:50:26,100 of public comments on behalf of county 3854 02:50:26,100 --> 02:50:28,100 and consistent with your board's 3855 02:50:28,100 --> 02:50:29,100 standing federal legislative policy, 3856 02:50:29,100 --> 02:50:31,100 so we've been very busy coordinating 3857 02:50:31,100 --> 02:50:33,100 with the county attorney's 3858 02:50:33,100 --> 02:50:35,100 office to try to keep track of all of 3859 02:50:35,100 --> 02:50:38,100 these different proposals coming in 3860 02:50:38,100 --> 02:50:40,100 from washington and working closely 3861 02:50:40,100 --> 02:50:42,100 together to submit comments as needed, 3862 02:50:42,100 --> 02:50:44,100 so -- and my unit will continue to 3863 02:50:44,100 --> 02:50:46,100 work closely with the county 3864 02:50:46,100 --> 02:50:49,100 attorney's office, our departments and 3865 02:50:49,100 --> 02:50:51,100 our federal lobbying team to take 3866 02:50:51,100 --> 02:50:52,100 needed actions. 3867 02:50:52,100 --> 02:50:55,100 so, with that, I'm happy to take any 3868 02:50:55,100 --> 02:50:58,100 questions, I would say that the 3869 02:50:58,100 --> 02:51:01,100 current agenda includes our full 3870 02:51:01,100 --> 02:51:03,100 report, so for more details, so again 3871 02:51:03,100 --> 02:51:05,100 happy to take any questions. 3872 02:51:05,100 --> 02:51:08,100 >> thank you for that presentation. 3873 02:51:08,100 --> 02:51:10,100 I appreciate how thorough it was, I do 3874 02:51:10,100 --> 02:51:11,100 think it's important that we continue 3875 02:51:11,100 --> 02:51:15,100 to get these updates so that we are 3876 02:51:15,100 --> 02:51:18,100 aware of the broader landscape and the 3877 02:51:18,100 --> 02:51:20,401 impacts on the county. 3878 02:51:21,100 --> 02:51:25,201 so, any questions or comments from my 3879 02:51:26,100 --> 02:51:28,100 colleagues? 3880 02:51:29,100 --> 02:51:30,100 okay. 3881 02:51:30,100 --> 02:51:34,100 hearing none, I have just a couple 3882

02:51:43,100 vehicle license fee, we'll obviously 3886 02:51:43,100 --> 02:51:47,100 go more in depth on that at the study 3887 02:51:47,100 --> 02:51:49,100 session on thursday, for the public, I 3888 02:51:49,100 --> 02:51:50,100 wanted to reiterate we will be having 3889 02:51:50,100 --> 02:51:52,100 a press conference and study session 3890 02:51:52,100 --> 02:51:55,100 on this topic thursday at 1 p.m. And I 3891 02:51:55,100 --> 02:51:58,100 want to thank supervisor speier and 3892 02:51:58,100 --> 02:52:00,100 supervisor mueller for their 3893 02:52:00,100 --> 02:52:02,401 efforts on coordinating that. 3894 02:52:03,100 --> 02:52:07,801 I also wanted to flag some of the 3895 02:52:11,100 --> 02:52:12,100 positives you reviewed. 3896 02:52:12,100 --> 02:52:14,100 we are one of the few counties in the 3897 02:52:14,100 --> 02:52:18,100 state that still has a county medical 3898 02:52:18,100 --> 02:52:21,100 center and the funding for 3899 02:52:27,100 --> 02:52:28,100 medi-cal and managed care, fee for 3900 02:52:28,100 --> 02:52:29,100 service will be helpful. 3901 02:52:29,100 --> 02:52:31,100 it will likely not be enough but the 3902 02:52:31,100 --> 02:52:35,801 it is helpful and so -- and supervisor 3903 02:52:37,100 --> 02:52:41,801 speier and I are on that, we will 3904 02:52:42,100 --> 02:52:44,401 focus on that area. 3905 02:52:45,100 -->

02:52:58,100 --> 02:53:02,201 and we look forward to using that 3909 02:53:03,100 --> 02:53:07,801 funding in this county and I serve on 3910 02:53:09,100 --> 02:53:12,601 the coalition to end abuse, violence 3911 02:53:13,100 --> 02:53:14,100 and exploitation in our county and we 3912 02:53:14,100 --> 02:53:18,801 are going to be working to review our 3913 02:53:19,100 --> 02:53:21,100 county legislative priorities and 3914 02:53:21,100 --> 02:53:23,100 see if there are any enfolding dashing 3915 02:53:23,100 --> 02:53:26,100 we have for the next round and I 3916 02:53:26,100 --> 02:53:28,100 encourage my colleagues to do the same 3917 02:53:28,100 --> 02:53:31,100 in their respective committees and 3918 02:53:31,100 --> 02:53:34,100 thank you, thank you for the 3919

02:53:39,100 >> thank you so much, connie, I 3923 02:53:39,100 --> 02:53:41,100 appreciate the presentation. 3924 02:53:41,100 --> 02:53:43,100 can you speak a little, I mean, 3925 02:53:43,100 --> 02:53:46,100 obviously protecting our democracy is 3926 02:53:48,100 --> 02:53:51,100 paramount and obviously there was an 3927 02:53:51,100 --> 02:53:52,100 appropriation given to the county, I 3928 02:53:52,100 --> 02:53:53,100 think it was what, 521 thousand 3929 02:53:53,100 --> 02:53:55,100 dollars out of the 34 million dollars. 3930 02:53:55,100 --> 02:53:57,100 what I didn't see, I saw within your 3931 02:53:57,100 --> 02:54:01,801 report but I couldn't find it was the 3932 02:54:02,100 --> 02:54:04,100 appropriation at the 521 thousand 3933 02:54:04,100 --> 02:54:06,100 dollars, you could appropriate it for 3934 02:54:06,100 --> 02:54:09,100 equipment, is that correct and 3935 02:54:09,100 --> 02:54:12,100 staffing, those are one-time dollars, 3936 02:54:12,100 --> 02:54:15,601 what I would like to understand 3937 02:54:18,100 --> 02:54:20,100 clearly is what are the restrictions 3938 02:54:20,100 --> 02:54:21,100 relative to spending those dollars 3939 02:54:21,100 --> 02:54:22,100 down? 3940 02:54:22,100 --> 02:54:24,100 >> sure. 3941 02:54:25,100 --> 02:54:28,100 through the chair, supervisor canepa, 3942 02:54:29,100 --> 02:54:31,100 so, 34 until

you know, these concerns go 3960 02:55:15,100 --> 02:55:18,100 years around our elections, not only 3961 02:55:18,100 --> 02:55:19,100 being unsafe through cyber threat but 3962 02:55:19,100 --> 02:55:23,201 in addition to that, the issue of 3963 02:55:24,100 --> 02:55:27,100 people, whether it's the national 3964 02:55:27,100 --> 02:55:31,100 guard, whether it's ice in our polling 3965

Nibbelin, I'm here to 4004 02:56:48,100 --> 02:56:51,100 present the planning and building 4005 02:56:51,100 --> 02:56:54,100 staff's recommendation on an appeal of 4006 02:56:54,100 --> 02:56:56,100 the planning commission's decision to 4007 02:56:56,100 --> 02:56:58,100 deny the same appeal that was brought 4008 02:56:58,100 --> 02:57:01,100 to the planning commission regarding 4009 02:57:02,100 --> 02:57:05,601 the staff's approval of a design 4010 02:57:06,100 --> 02:57:08,100 review permit and grading permit for a 4011 02:57:08,100 --> 02:57:11,100 new home on jefferson avenue in the 4012 02:57:11,100 --> 02:57:13,401 emerald lake hills area. 4013 02:57:14,100 --> 02:57:17,100 so, this slide shows the location of 4014 02:57:17,100 --> 02:57:19,100 the property it's directly adjacent to 4015 02:57:19,100 --> 02:57:23,100 o the upper lake in emerald lake hills. 4016 02:57:23,100 --> 02:57:26,100 its zoning is residential hillside 4017 02:57:26,100 --> 02:57:28,100 design review, the lot size is a 4018 02:57:28,100 --> 02:57:31,100 little bit over 21 thousand square 4019 02:57:33,100 --> 02:57:34,100 feet. 4020 02:57:34,100 --> 02:57:38,100 here's an aerial photo of the property 4021 02:57:38,100 --> 02:57:40,100 and the appellant's property behind it. 4022 02:57:40,100 --> 02:57:42,100 you'll note that the subject property 4023 02:57:42,100 --> 02:57:44,100 currently has a home on it, that 4024 02:57:44,100 --> 02:57:46,100 home will be demolished. 4025 02:57:46,100 --> 02:57:49,601 the site was subdivided in 2021, so 4026 02:57:50,100 --> 02:57:51,100 the project that we'll be talking 4027 02:57:51,100 --> 02:57:55,100 about will be the new home on the portion 4028 02:57:55,100 --> 02:57:57,100 of the property where the blue arrow 4029 02:57:57,100 --> 02:57:59,100 is pointing. 4030 02:58:01,100 --> 02:58:03,100 here's the design of the home, you can 4031 02:58:03,100 --> 02:58:06,100 see it's a flag lot design, so it's 4032 02:58:06,100 --> 02:58:09,100 got a driveway coming off of 4033 02:58:09,100 --> 02:58:11,100 jefferson, it leads down to the three 4034 02:58:11,100 --> 02:58:13,100 car garage that's in the upper left 4035 02:58:13,100 --> 02:58:17,201 corner of the screen and then the 4036 02:58:19,100 --> 02:58:21,401 proposed residence is attached. 4037 02:58:22,100 --> 02:58:26,100 this floor plan shows the second story 4038 02:58:26,100 --> 02:58:29,100 of the proposed home and it indicates 4039 02:58:29,100 --> 02:58:32,100 the window that is of concern to the 4040 02:58:32,100 --> 02:58:34,100 appellant which I'll be talking about 4041 02:58:34,100 --> 02:58:35,100 a little bit more on the next slides. 4042 02:58:35,100 --> 02:58:39,201 here's the elevations of the new home. 4043 02:58:42,100 --> 02:58:46,201 the elevation on the bottom with the 4044 02:58:48,100 --> 02:58:50,100 blue cloud calls out the window of 4045 02:58:50,100 --> 02:58:52,401 concern to the appellant. 4046 02:58:56,100 --> 02:58:58,100 as reviewed by planning and building 4047 02:58:58,100 --> 02:59:00,100 staff and confirmed by the planning 4048 02:59:00,100 --> 02:59:02,100 commission, the project is in 4049 02:59:02,100 --> 02:59:05,601 conformance with the general plan the 4050 02:59:07,100 --> 02:59:09,100 general plan designates this area for 4051 02:59:09,100 --> 02:59:10,100 low density residential. 4052 02:59:10,100 --> 02:59:12,100 the project also required a staff 4053 02:59:12,100 --> 02:59:14,100 level grading permit and it was 4054 02:59:14,100 --> 02:59:16,100 determined that the project complies 4055 02:59:16,100 --> 02:59:19,100 with all the relevant provisions of 4056 02:59:19,100 --> 02:59:21,100 the grading regulations. 4057 02:59:23,100 --> 02:59:26,601 this table shows all the zoning 4058 02:59:29,100 --> 02:59:30,100 requirements that the development is 4059 02:59:30,100 --> 02:59:31,100 subject to, so as you can see the 4060 02:59:31,100 --> 02:59:32,100 project complies with setback 4061 02:59:32,100 --> 02:59:34,100 requirements as well as height, floor 4062 02:59:34,100 --> 02:59:37,100 area ratio and site coverage 4063 02:59:39,100 --> 02:59:40,100 limitations. 4064 02:59:40,100 --> 02:59:42,100 so, as I noted, the planning 4065 02:59:42,100 --> 02:59:44,100 commission heard the appeal 4066 02:59:44,100 --> 02:59:46,100 previously, approved the project on 4067 02:59:46,100 --> 02:59:50,801 april 8, it was a 3-0 vote and the 4068 02:59:52,100 --> 02:59:53,100 planning commission added an 4069 02:59:53,100 --> 02:59:55,100 additional condition to try to be 4070 02:59:55,100 --> 02:59:58,601 responsive to the concerns of the 4071 03:00:00,100 --> 03:00:01,100 appellant regarding the privacy 4072 03:00:01,100 --> 03:00:02,100 concerns of the additional window. 4073 03:00:02,100 --> 03:00:05,601 the the additional requirement was to 4074 03:00:07,100 --> 03:00:10,100 replace the planned pittosporum hedge 4075 03:00:13,100 --> 03:00:17,100 trees with a larger hedge to provide 4076 03:00:17,100 --> 03:00:18,100 privacy. 4077 03:00:18,100 --> 03:00:19,100 to get into the appellant's 4078 03:00:19,100 --> 03:00:22,100 contentions here, the concern is about 4079 03:00:22,100 --> 03:00:25,601 the second story bedroom which she 4080 03:00:26,100 --> 03:00:28,100 feels affects her privacy. 4081 03:00:28,100 --> 03:00:30,100 it's because of the elevation change, 4082 03:00:30,100 --> 03:00:33,100 the second story window's pretty much 4083 03:00:33,100 --> 03:00:35,100 at the same level as the first story 4084 03:00:35,100 --> 03:00:37,100 of the appellant's house. 4085 03:00:37,100 --> 03:00:40,100 I note that the proposed home is 50 4086 03:00:40,100 --> 03:00:43,100 feet from the property line, the 4087 03:00:43,100 --> 03:00:46,601 appellant's home is about 60 feet from 4088 03:00:47,100 --> 03:00:48,100 the property line so you have a 4089 03:00:48,100 --> 03:00:50,100 distance of 110 feet between the 4090 03:00:50,100 --> 03:00:52,100 window and the appellant's home which 4091 03:00:52,100 --> 03:00:55,100 I think greatly defines the 4092 03:00:55,100 --> 03:00:58,100 potential of any significant privacy 4093 03:00:59,100 --> 03:01:01,100 concerns. 4094 03:01:01,100 --> 03:01:02,100 as I noted earlier, the planning 4095 03:01:02,100 --> 03:01:05,100 commission did add an additional 4096 03:01:05,100 --> 03:01:06,100 addition requiring some tree planting 4097 03:01:06,100 --> 03:01:08,100 to try to address the 4098 03:01:08,100 --> 03:01:10,100 appellant's concerns. 4099 03:01:11,100 --> 03:01:13,100 the appellant's second concern is 4100 03:01:13,100 --> 03:01:14,100 regarding drainage. 4101 03:01:14,100 --> 03:01:17,100 she's concerned that the project could 4102 03:01:17,100 --> 03:01:18,100 contribute to fluid flooding on her 4103 03:01:18,100 --> 03:01:19,100 property. 4104 03:01:19,100 --> 03:01:21,100 I understand there's been drainage 4105 03:01:21,100 --> 03:01:24,100 problems in the area in the past. 4106 03:01:24,100 --> 03:01:26,100 however, our assessment of this 4107 03:01:26,100 --> 03:01:29,100 situation is that the proposed 4108 03:01:29,100 --> 03:01:32,100 development is downhill from the 4109 03:01:33,100 --> 03:01:34,100 appellant's property. 4110 03:01:34,100 --> 03:01:36,100 jefferson is at a higher elevation so 4111 03:01:36,100 --> 03:01:39,100 there will need to be a curb cut for 4112 03:01:39,100 --> 03:01:40,100 the driveway. 4113 03:01:40,100 --> 03:01:42,100 that's been carefully designed, the 4114 03:01:42,100 --> 03:01:44,100 drainage system has been reviewed by 4115 03:01:44,100 --> 03:01:46,100 our technical team at planning and 4116 03:01:46,100 --> 03:01:48,100 building and we don't believe that 4117 03:01:48,100 --> 03:01:50,100 this driveway cut will contribute any 4118 03:01:50,100 --> 03:01:53,601 sort of flooding to the neighboring 4119 03:01:55,100 --> 03:01:56,100 property. 4120 03:01:56,100 --> 03:01:58,100 the project was exempt from 4121 03:01:58,100 --> 03:02:00,401 environmental review under the 4122 03:02:01,100 --> 03:02:03,401 california environmental quality act 4123 03:02:06,100 --> 03:02:09,601 and our recommendation is that the 4124 03:02:11,100 --> 03:02:12,100 board of supervisors approve the 4125 03:02:12,100 --> 03:02:13,100 design review permit and grading 4126 03:02:13,100 --> 03:02:14,100 permit. 4127 03:02:14,100 --> 03:02:15,100 and I'm happy to answer any questions 4128 03:02:15,100 --> 03:02:17,100 you may have. 4129 03:02:23,100 --> 03:02:25,100 >> thank you. 4130 03:02:25,100 --> 03:02:26,100 any questions from the board? 4131 03:02:26,100 --> 03:02:29,100 then we'll move the open the public 4132 03:02:29,100 --> 03:02:32,100 hearing, or do we open it now? 4133 03:02:32,100 --> 03:02:33,100 >> madam president, you can take 4134 03:02:33,100 --> 03:02:35,100 questions now for sure. 4135 03:02:35,100 --> 03:02:36,100 >> okay, questions, supervisor speier? 4136 03:02:36,100 --> 03:02:39,100 >> was there any discussion about 4137 03:02:40,100 --> 03:02:43,100 somehow frosting those upper story 4138 03:02:43,100 --> 03:02:44,100

discussion about that. 4142 03:02:49,100 --> 03:02:52,100 I do think the applicant is here and 4143 03:02:52,100 --> 03:02:55,100 will want to speak toward -- to the 4144 03:02:55,100 --> 03:02:58,100

03:04:40,100 --> 03:04:43,100 >> good morning, the board of 4193 03:04:47,100 --> 03:04:49,100 supervisors, will you my presentation 4194 03:04:49,100 --> 03:04:53,100 today, you will see how the planned 4195 03:04:53,100 --> 03:04:57,801 new house on -- how do I move? 4196 03:05:00,100 --> 03:05:02,100 okay. 4197 03:05:04,100 --> 03:05:05,100 okay. 4198 03:05:05,100 --> 03:05:08,100 how the they planned the house on 3865 4199 03:05:08,100 --> 03:05:09,100 jefferson invades the privacy of my 4200 03:05:09,100 --> 03:05:12,100 house and the backyard, how the 4201 03:05:12,100 --> 03:05:15,100 commission's decision to enhance the 4202 03:05:15,100 --> 03:05:17,100 privacy violates the county fence 4203 03:05:17,100 --> 03:05:19,100 ordinance and takes away our light and 4204 03:05:19,100 --> 03:05:20,100 air. 4205 03:05:20,100 --> 03:05:24,201 it also burdens us with a boundary 4206 03:05:25,100 --> 03:05:28,100 visitation, maints nans and that would 4207 03:05:28,100 --> 03:05:29,100 likely interfere with the boundary 4208 03:05:29,100 --> 03:05:30,100 fence so the grading permit approval 4209 03:05:30,100 --> 03:05:31,100 can despite of missing information 4210 03:05:31,100 --> 03:05:33,100 bypasses reviews by various 4211 03:05:33,100 --> 03:05:35,100 departments such as the parks 4212 03:05:35,100 --> 03:05:37,100 department and public works as well as 4213 03:05:37,100 --> 03:05:39,100 the public works. 4214 03:05:39,100 --> 03:05:41,100 new house plans must follow rules and 4215 03:05:41,100 --> 03:05:44,100 I would like you to sit about five 4216 03:05:44,100 --> 03:05:45,100 seconds with it because I don't have a 4217 03:05:45,100 --> 03:05:47,100 lot of time. 4218 03:05:47,100 --> 03:05:51,801 right to privacy and light and air are 4219 03:05:52,100 --> 03:05:55,100 supported by county rules, at the 4220 03:05:55,100 --> 03:05:57,100 design ve view, the they posed a 4221 03:05:57,100 --> 03:05:59,100 significant county issue and we talked 4222 03:05:59,100 --> 03:06:03,100 about for and other measures such as 4223 03:06:03,100 --> 03:06:07,201 changing the window to a clear story 4224 03:06:08,100 --> 03:06:11,601 but it was recommended, the county 4225 03:06:13,100 --> 03:06:15,100 reck edged change as a measure of 4226 03:06:15,100 --> 03:06:19,100 changing the window to a clear story 4227 03:06:19,100 --> 03:06:21,100 but while that reduced the privacy 4228 03:06:21,100 --> 03:06:23,100 burden greatly, the reck .ed dashing 4229 03:06:23,100 --> 03:06:26,100 will not yield any result, they can 4230 03:06:26,100 --> 03:06:28,100 just toss it, it doesn't have any 4231 03:06:28,100 --> 03:06:30,100 mandatory enforcement. 4232 03:06:30,100 --> 03:06:32,100 to our request to make the privacy 4233 03:06:32,100 --> 03:06:34,100 measure mandatory, the commissioner 4234 03:06:34,100 --> 03:06:38,201 decided on the 25 feet tree hedge at 4235 03:06:39,100 --> 03:06:42,601 the boundary and failed to consider 4236 03:06:43,100 --> 03:06:46,601 the consequences, so 25 feet hedge is 4237 03:06:48,100 --> 03:06:52,100 bad because it's a -- it poses a big 4238 03:06:52,100 --> 03:06:55,100 block of light and air which violate 4239 03:06:55,100 --> 03:06:59,100 it is fence rules, 25 feet is for 4240 03:06:59,100 --> 03:07:01,100 the prisons to incarcerate people to 4241 03:07:01,100 --> 03:07:03,100 separate them from the society, it's 4242 03:07:03,100 --> 03:07:04,100 not for the side yard. 4243 03:07:04,100 --> 03:07:06,100 we should not be forced to choose 4244 03:07:06,100 --> 03:07:08,100 between the privacy and light and air. 4245 03:07:08,100 --> 03:07:11,601 and I believe the existing county 4246 03:07:15,100 --> 03:07:17,100 rules support that. 4247 03:07:17,100 --> 03:07:19,100 the invasion is recognized and I'm not 4248 03:07:19,100 --> 03:07:20,100 going to spend a lot of time but this 4249 03:07:20,100 --> 03:07:24,801 is kind of -- I'm sorry, this picture 4250 03:07:35,100 --> 03:07:39,201 is a composite of rendering of our 4251 03:07:42,100 --> 03:07:45,100 view from the deck, I have put markers 4252 03:07:45,100 --> 03:07:49,801 to give how this is reasonable, but I 4253 03:07:50,100 --> 03:07:52,100 guess the point is that this is how it 4254 03:07:52,100 --> 03:07:55,100 would look from our backyard, our 4255 03:07:55,100 --> 03:07:57,100 deck, and our living room. 4256 03:07:57,100 --> 03:08:00,100 and as you can see, if there was a 25 4257 03:08:00,100 --> 03:08:04,801 foot hedge all the way, there's only a 4258 03:08:06,100 --> 03:08:08,100 small slice of it that it will do its 4259 03:08:08,100 --> 03:08:11,100 job but all the other places is a 4260 03:08:11,100 --> 03:08:14,601 boundary will do little for the 4261 03:08:16,100 --> 03:08:17,100 privacy but negatively impacts our 4262 03:08:17,100 --> 03:08:19,100 light and air. 4263 03:08:20,100 --> 03:08:24,100 this, if you look at this, the photo, 4264 03:08:24,100 --> 03:08:27,100 the windows are designed just to look 4265 03:08:27,100 --> 03:08:29,100 at their driveway and our backyards 4266 03:08:29,100 --> 03:08:31,100 and our house, it's directly right 4267 03:08:31,100 --> 03:08:34,100 there, and you can see the markers I 4268 03:08:34,100 --> 03:08:36,100 placed, if you compare that with the 4269 03:08:36,100 --> 03:08:39,100 previously one, then you can see that 4270 03:08:39,100 --> 03:08:42,100 my previous composite photo is 4271 03:08:42,100 --> 03:08:45,601 reasonable as the rendering and so 4272 03:08:46,100 --> 03:08:48,100 what is the commissioners' solution 4273 03:08:48,100 --> 03:08:51,601 was, as the director of planning 4274 03:08:54,100 --> 03:08:56,100 presented, it is replacing the hedge 4275 03:08:56,100 --> 03:08:58,401 with the 25 foot trees. 4276 03:09:01,100 --> 03:09:05,100 and located with the pink right there 4277 03:09:05,100 --> 03:09:09,100 all the way, like 200 feet of hedges 4278 03:09:09,100 --> 03:09:12,601 -- of the 25 feet high trees. 4279 03:09:14,100 --> 03:09:16,100 there are all those little doses, 4280 03:09:16,100 --> 03:09:19,601 those are the pittosporum that is 4281 03:09:20,100 --> 03:09:24,201 recommended to change and where it is 4282 03:09:25,100 --> 03:09:27,100 empty is where it is supposed to be 4283 03:09:27,100 --> 03:09:31,201 interactive with my trees so they put 4284 03:09:34,100 --> 03:09:36,100 the protection plan on them and that's 4285 03:09:36,100 --> 03:09:40,100 where the missing tree is, but that's 4286 03:09:40,100 --> 03:09:43,100 not where my trees are and it was cut 4287 03:09:43,100 --> 03:09:46,601 down three years ago prior to 4288 03:09:48,100 --> 03:09:50,100 submitting this plan. 4289 03:09:56,100 --> 03:09:59,100 so, what commissioners got wrong is 4290 03:09:59,100 --> 03:10:01,100 that condition 6 conflicts with the 4291 03:10:01,100 --> 03:10:03,100 county the rules and the vague 4292 03:10:03,100 --> 03:10:06,100 language could allow the project owner 4293 03:10:06,100 --> 03:10:08,100 to place tree hedges height of 25 and 4294 03:10:08,100 --> 03:10:10,100 more to be placed all along the side 4295 03:10:10,100 --> 03:10:13,100 yard downed boundary of the 3575 4296 03:10:14,100 --> 03:10:16,100 jefferson avenue. 4297 03:10:18,100 --> 03:10:22,801 and so what is the fence rule that 4298 03:10:24,100 --> 03:10:25,100 commissioners' decision violates, one 4299 03:10:25,100 --> 03:10:28,100 of the stated purpose of the county 4300 03:10:28,100 --> 03:10:30,100 zoning ordinance is to provide 4301 03:10:30,100 --> 03:10:32,100 adequate light and air, privacy and 4302 03:10:32,100 --> 03:10:35,100 convenience of access to the property 4303 03:10:35,100 --> 03:10:37,100 and some of that purpose is captured 4304 03:10:37,100 --> 03:10:39,100 in the fence height ordinance, hedges 4305 03:10:39,100 --> 03:10:43,801 not exceed 6 feet in side or rear yard. 4306 03:10:44,100 --> 03:10:46,100 the photo is a hedge violation, this 4307 03:10:46,100 --> 03:10:49,100 is a boundary between 3875 jefferson 4308 03:10:51,100 --> 03:10:52,100 and the boundary the commission 4309 03:10:52,100 --> 03:10:55,601 ordered to place a 25 foot hedge. 4310 03:10:59,100 --> 03:11:03,100 so, what are we asking, our ask is not 4311 03:11:03,100 --> 03:11:05,100 let the new development take away our 4312 03:11:05,100 --> 03:11:09,801 privacy nor our light and air, any of 4313 03:11:12,100 --> 03:11:15,100 clear story design, reduction of 4314 03:11:15,100 --> 03:11:18,100 windows, changing the windows or 4315 03:11:18,100 --> 03:11:19,100 relocating behind the mature trees, 4316 03:11:19,100 --> 03:11:22,100 any of those will protect privacy of 4317 03:11:22,100 --> 03:11:24,100 both bourses and the new house without 4318 03:11:24,100 --> 03:11:27,100 needing a 25 visual screening, so we 4319 03:11:27,100 --> 03:11:29,100 respectfully ask the board to revise 4320 03:11:29,100 --> 03:11:32,601 the condition number 6 to state that 4321 03:11:33,100 --> 03:11:36,100 any planned vegetation must comply 4322 03:11:36,100 --> 03:11:37,100 with fence hedge height rules and not 4323 03:11:37,100 --> 03:11:39,100 interfere with a recorded easement 4324 03:11:39,100 --> 03:11:42,601 on the subject property to provide 4325 03:11:44,100 --> 03:11:45,100 access to the common light. 4326 03:11:45,100 --> 03:11:48,100 if the board does require particular 4327 03:11:48,100 --> 03:11:50,100 planting, either provide a specific 4328 03:11:50,100 --> 03:11:52,100 plan including locations and require 4329 03:11:52,100 --> 03:11:54,100 the applicant to submit such a plan 4330 03:11:54,100 --> 03:11:57,601 for the future review, there are 4331 03:12:02,100 --> 03:12:05,601 additional issues and I will have 4332 03:12:07,100 --> 03:12:09,100 further slides to -- to prove my 4333 03:12:09,100 --> 03:12:12,601 points of privacy and the improved 4334 03:12:16,100 --> 03:12:18,100 landscaping plan and easements and 4335 03:12:18,100 --> 03:12:20,100 other things but in particular, there 4336 03:12:20,100 --> 03:12:21,100 are missing information for the 4337 03:12:21,100 --> 03:12:24,601 grading and drainage plan and those 4338 03:12:26,100 --> 03:12:29,100 information includes mature trees that 4339 03:12:29,100 --> 03:12:31,100 require tree protections and the parks 4340 03:12:31,100 --> 03:12:34,601 department would need to review and 4341 03:12:36,100 --> 03:12:38,100 for these reasons, I would like to ask 4342 03:12:38,100 --> 03:12:42,100 for consideration of a de novo hearing. 4343 03:12:42,100 --> 03:12:45,100 >> I want to remind you, you have two 4344 03:12:45,100 --> 03:12:48,100 minutes left, if you want time to 4345 03:12:48,100 --> 03:12:49,100 rebuttal, you will have to save that 4346 03:12:49,100 --> 03:12:50,100 time. 4347 03:12:50,100 --> 03:12:52,100 >> so, like I said, one thing is this 4348 03:12:52,100 --> 03:12:56,201 is like the violation -- I'm sorry, 4349 03:12:57,100 --> 03:13:01,201 this is a violation by the 3865 that 4350 03:13:03,100 --> 03:13:07,201 was given for the hedges, the owner 4351 03:13:11,100 --> 03:13:13,100 planted to block our view of the lake. 4352 03:13:13,100 --> 03:13:16,100 this is the easement that the owner 4353 03:13:16,100 --> 03:13:20,201 is planning to landscape, this is the 4354 03:13:21,100 --> 03:13:23,100 existing conditions, we have a lot of 4355 03:13:23,100 --> 03:13:25,100 mature trees. 4356 03:13:28,100 --> 03:13:31,100 and -- so, the de novo hearing I'm 4357 03:13:31,100 --> 03:13:35,100 asking for is regarding to the missing 4358 03:13:35,100 --> 03:13:36,100 information. 4359 03:13:36,100 --> 03:13:39,100 the location of the trees of 12 inches 4360 03:13:39,100 --> 03:13:43,801 or more of die am the ter within 12 4361 03:13:44,100 --> 03:13:46,100 feet of the area is the minimum 4362 03:13:46,100 --> 03:13:49,100 required information for the grading 4363 03:13:49,100 --> 03:13:50,100 permit. 4364 03:13:50,100 --> 03:13:52,100 it's missing. 4365 03:13:54,100 --> 03:13:57,100 it's not there at all. 4366 03:13:57,100 --> 03:14:01,201 and that tree also needs a tree 4367 03:14:03,100 --> 03:14:05,100 protection plan reviewed by the parks 4368 03:14:05,100 --> 03:14:08,100 department, so it completely bypassed 4369 03:14:09,100 --> 03:14:12,100 the parks department review and also 4370 03:14:12,100 --> 03:14:16,201 the culvert ending at the my property 4371 03:14:17,100 --> 03:14:20,100 3875 jefferson is within the 50 feet 4372 03:14:21,100 --> 03:14:23,100 of the proposed work. 4373 03:14:23,100 --> 03:14:26,601 so, with this missing information, how 4374 03:14:28,100 --> 03:14:32,201 can the county evaluate even the -- 4375 03:14:34,100 --> 03:14:36,100 like drain analysis or anything like 4376 03:14:36,100 --> 03:14:40,100 that and when they bypassed the review 4377 03:14:40,100 --> 03:14:43,100 of the appropriate departments because 4378 03:14:43,100 --> 03:14:44,100 -- 4379 03:14:44,100 --> 03:14:47,100 >> thank you, that's your time. 4380 03:14:48,100 --> 03:14:51,100 >> our ask for a grading permit is to 4381 03:14:51,100 --> 03:14:53,100 consider all facts of this appeal from 4382 03:14:53,100 --> 03:14:54,100 the scratch. 4383 03:14:54,100 --> 03:14:55,100 thank you. 4384 03:14:55,100 --> 03:14:56,100 >> thank you. 4385 03:14:56,100 --> 03:15:00,100 >> I would like to just thank the 4386 03:15:00,100 --> 03:15:01,100 county staff of planning for all their 4387 03:15:01,100 --> 03:15:02,100 work and I really appreciate and I 4388 03:15:02,100 --> 03:15:05,100 think it is our job as an interested 4389 03:15:05,100 --> 03:15:07,100 party to provide the missing 4390 03:15:07,100 --> 03:15:09,100 information the applicant is 4391 03:15:09,100 --> 03:15:10,100 withholding. 4392 03:15:10,100 --> 03:15:11,100 >> thank you. 4393 03:15:11,100 --> 03:15:13,100 >> we will now put ten minutes on the 4394 03:15:13,100 --> 03:15:15,401 clock for the applicant. 4395 03:15:20,100 --> 03:15:23,100 >> good afternoon, my name is steve 4396 03:15:23,100 --> 03:15:25,100 simpson, I'm the architect for the 4397 03:15:25,100 --> 03:15:28,100 project and the applicant for the 4398 03:15:28,100 --> 03:15:29,100 project. 4399 03:15:29,100 --> 03:15:31,100 I'll be brief. 4400 03:15:32,100 --> 03:15:33,100 when we started the design process for 4401 03:15:33,100 --> 03:15:37,801 this house over a year ago now, we 4402 03:15:38,100 --> 03:15:40,100 were given one clear direction on this 4403 03:15:40,100 --> 03:15:42,100 property from our client who lives 4404 03:15:42,100 --> 03:15:44,100 next door and has lived next door for 4405 03:15:44,100 --> 03:15:48,201 30 years and that was to minimize the 4406 03:15:49,100 --> 03:15:51,100 exposure of the second floor to the 4407 03:15:51,100 --> 03:15:55,801 lake and to make it as narrow as 4408 03:15:56,100 --> 03:15:58,100 possible, to mitigate multiple 4409 03:15:58,100 --> 03:15:59,100 neighbors' view of the lake, so the 4410 03:15:59,100 --> 03:16:03,201 house is a little unorthodox or ranged 4411 03:16:04,100 --> 03:16:06,100 a little different from a assigning 4412 03:16:06,100 --> 03:16:07,100 standpoint for that reason. 4413 03:16:07,100 --> 03:16:10,100 the second floor is basically one room 4414 03:16:10,100 --> 03:16:12,100 wide from front to back and that's to 4415 03:16:12,100 --> 03:16:15,100 create a very narrow profile 4416 03:16:15,100 --> 03:16:17,401 perpendicular to the lake . 4417 03:16:18,100 --> 03:16:21,601 that was done proactively by us. 4418 03:16:22,100 --> 03:16:26,100 so, we -- what that did is it resulted 4419 03:16:26,100 --> 03:16:30,100 in one window on the first floor, so 4420 03:16:30,100 --> 03:16:33,100 we've been reluctant to turn as the 4421 03:16:33,100 --> 03:16:37,100 appellant asked, to clear it into a 4422 03:16:37,100 --> 03:16:39,100 clear story window, you can see up out 4423 03:16:39,100 --> 03:16:42,100 of it but our concern just from an 4424 03:16:42,100 --> 03:16:43,100 architectural standpoint is the house 4425 03:16:43,100 --> 03:16:45,100 -- because of how it's set up is going 4426 03:16:45,100 --> 03:16:48,100 the look like a fortress and just from 4427 03:16:48,100 --> 03:16:50,100 a livability standpoint, that's going 4428 03:16:50,100 --> 03:16:53,100 to be a kid's bedroom and we don't 4429 03:16:53,100 --> 03:16:56,100 want to put a high window up there 4430 03:16:56,100 --> 03:16:57,100 they can't see out of. 4431 03:16:57,100 --> 03:17:01,100 we feel we've done a lot so far 4432 03:17:01,100 --> 03:17:04,601 proactively, we could have designed a 4433 03:17:06,100 --> 03:17:07,100 second floor across the whole width of 4434 03:17:07,100 --> 03:17:09,100 the house. 4435 03:17:09,100 --> 03:17:11,100 we had proposed privacy plantings 4436 03:17:11,100 --> 03:17:14,100 around that perimeter with the 4437 03:17:15,100 --> 03:17:16,100 appellant initially, the proposal, 4438 03:17:16,100 --> 03:17:17,100 when the suggestion came up at the 4439 03:17:17,100 --> 03:17:19,100 planning commission to make that more 4440 03:17:19,100 --> 03:17:22,100 robust, we thought that was totally 4441 03:17:22,100 --> 03:17:25,100 reasonable and agreed to do it 4442 03:17:25,100 --> 03:17:26,100 immediately. 4443 03:17:26,100 --> 03:17:29,100 we're also agreeable to change that in 4444 03:17:29,100 --> 03:17:33,100 a way if we went too far or the kind 4445 03:17:33,100 --> 03:17:36,100 of tactically arrange those trees in a 4446 03:17:36,100 --> 03:17:39,100 way that helps the neighbor more. 4447 03:17:39,100 --> 03:17:41,100 I mean, we're totally flexible on what 4448 03:17:41,100 --> 03:17:42,100 we do there. 4449 03:17:42,100 --> 03:17:44,100 privacy issue is a two way street. 4450 03:17:44,100 --> 03:17:46,100 the appellant's house is uphill, it's 4451 03:17:46,100 --> 03:17:47,100 looking down on this property so this 4452 03:17:47,100 --> 03:17:49,100 this property is going to want some 4453 03:17:49,100 --> 03:17:52,601 privacy from that property as well. 4454 03:17:54,100 --> 03:17:56,100 so, I think some kind of screening 4455 03:17:56,100 --> 03:17:59,100 mitigation is the right answer here. 4456 03:17:59,100 --> 03:18:01,100 we've got 110, 120 feet 4457 03:18:01,100 --> 03:18:02,100 between the structures to deal with, 4458 03:18:02,100 --> 03:18:07,100 so I think that's the best way to do 4459 03:18:07,100 --> 03:18:08,100 it. 4460 03:18:08,100 --> 03:18:09,100 again, we're agreeable to do that in a 4461 03:18:09,100 --> 03:18:12,601 more tactical way that benefits the 4462 03:18:13,100 --> 03:18:15,100 appellant's privacy but we're 4463 03:18:15,100 --> 03:18:17,100 reluctant to change the house and the 4464 03:18:17,100 --> 03:18:20,100 windows just because we have so very 4465 03:18:20,100 --> 03:18:23,100 little window now facing the front. 4466 03:18:23,100 --> 03:18:25,100 the drainage issue, I'm puzzled, the 4467 03:18:25,100 --> 03:18:27,100 property is completely downhill from 4468 03:18:27,100 --> 03:18:28,100 this, we have one of the best caviler 4469 03:18:28,100 --> 03:18:31,100 engineers in the peninsula working 4470 03:18:33,100 --> 03:18:37,801 on this, we have a complex system of 4471 03:18:40,100 --> 03:18:43,100 retention and bioswale planned in this 4472 03:18:43,100 --> 03:18:44,100 development, but we're in no way 4473 03:18:44,100 --> 03:18:47,100 affecting how the water operates on 4474 03:18:47,100 --> 03:18:49,100 the uphill property. 4475 03:18:50,100 --> 03:18:53,100 so, with that, I'll leave it at that. 4476 03:18:53,100 --> 03:18:54,100 if there's anything I can -- any 4477 03:18:54,100 --> 03:18:56,100 questions I can answer, add any 4478 03:18:56,100 --> 03:18:59,100 clarity, I'm happy to do that. 4479 03:18:59,100 --> 03:19:01,100 >> thank you. 4480 03:19:01,100 --> 03:19:03,100 with that, I believe we will open it 4481 03:19:03,100 --> 03:19:05,401 up for public comment. 4482 03:19:11,100 --> 03:19:14,100 >> I do have one speaker card from 4483 03:19:14,100 --> 03:19:16,100 chambers, thomas greenberg. 4484 03:19:23,100 --> 03:19:27,100 >> my name is thomas greenberg, I live 4485 03:19:27,100 --> 03:19:31,201 on 931 lake view which is abutting on 4486 03:19:32,100 --> 03:19:35,100 the appellant's property just on the 4487 03:19:35,100 --> 03:19:38,100 left side of all the diagrams, I'm 4488 03:19:38,100 --> 03:19:42,801 also on the h-way board for the had 4489 03:19:44,100 --> 03:19:46,100 -- hoa that oversees all the homes in 4490 03:19:46,100 --> 03:19:50,100 that area that both the appellant and 4491 03:19:50,100 --> 03:19:51,100 the [inaudible] are members of. 4492 03:19:51,100 --> 03:19:52,100 >> can you speak into the 4493 03:19:52,100 --> 03:19:53,100 microphone. 4494 03:19:53,100 --> 03:19:56,100 >> I'm very familiar with both 4495 03:19:57,100 --> 03:19:58,100 properties, I've spent a great amount 4496 03:19:58,100 --> 03:20:01,100 of time on hoa property which abuts 4497 03:20:01,100 --> 03:20:04,100 that which is basically upper emerald 4498 03:20:04,100 --> 03:20:07,100 hills lake, I also previously helped 4499 03:20:07,100 --> 03:20:10,601 out the previous owners of the 4500 03:20:12,100 --> 03:20:13,100 appellant's home taking care of their 4501 03:20:13,100 --> 03:20:15,100 coy pond. 4502 03:20:15,100 --> 03:20:16,100 what the appellant failed to 4503 03:20:16,100 --> 03:20:18,100 disclose, they have clear cut their 4504 03:20:18,100 --> 03:20:21,100 yard, they have taken out a number of 4505 03:20:21,100 --> 03:20:23,100 mature trees, they have taken out a 4506 03:20:23,100 --> 03:20:25,100 number of trees that would have 4507 03:20:25,100 --> 03:20:28,100 blocked any view of the upcoming 4508 03:20:28,100 --> 03:20:30,100 project in an effort to try to create 4509 03:20:30,100 --> 03:20:33,100 some type of view that didn't exist 4510 03:20:33,100 --> 03:20:37,201 before and have blamed the problem on 4511 03:20:40,100 --> 03:20:42,100 the people trying to develop and 4512 03:20:42,100 --> 03:20:45,100 create use of the land. 4513 03:20:51,100 --> 03:20:52,100 their house, the only windows that 4514 03:20:52,100 --> 03:20:53,100 would be affected is their bedroom. 4515 03:20:53,100 --> 03:20:54,100 their living space windows and all 4516 03:20:54,100 --> 03:20:56,100 other windows in their house look out 4517 03:20:56,100 --> 03:20:57,100 in a different direction, they 4518 03:20:57,100 --> 03:21:01,100 wouldn't be able to see a new development, 4519 03:21:01,100 --> 03:21:04,100 their bedroom is an anything 30, 40 4520 03:21:04,100 --> 03:21:06,100 feet past the start of house, probably 4521 03:21:06,100 --> 03:21:08,100 50 feet so, when we're talking about 4522 03:21:08,100 --> 03:21:12,201 the view, it's well over 100 feet and 4523 03:21:13,100 --> 03:21:15,100 altitude, there's almost no privacy 4524 03:21:15,100 --> 03:21:18,100 concern, so far you wouldn't be able 4525 03:21:18,100 --> 03:21:20,100 to see anything, I don't think the it 4526 03:21:20,100 --> 03:21:21,100 will be an issue. 4527 03:21:21,100 --> 03:21:23,100 everyone in the neighborhood is well 4528 03:21:23,100 --> 03:21:25,100 in favor of the project, it's a 4529 03:21:25,100 --> 03:21:26,100 beautiful project and I want to thank 4530 03:21:26,100 -->

03:22:28,100 --> 03:22:31,100 property owner if it was screened. 4568 03:22:31,100 --> 03:22:32,100 >> sure, and I would like to -- 4569 03:22:32,100 --> 03:22:34,100 >> would you like to come up,

amenable to changing 4583 03:23:25,100 --> 03:23:27,100 that or moving those around, and 4584 03:23:27,100 --> 03:23:29,100 that's not taking anything into 4585 03:23:29,100 --> 03:23:32,100 consideration of what's on the uphill 4586 03:23:32,100 --> 03:23:34,100 property but I don't know if that 4587 03:23:34,100 --> 03:23:36,100 helps you in any way, but that's kind 4588 03:23:36,100 --> 03:23:40,100 of what we would be looking at 4589 03:23:40,100 --> 03:23:42,100 immediately -- sorry, I'm not good 4590 03:23:42,100 --> 03:23:44,100 with this. 4591 03:23:47,100 --> 03:23:50,100 >> the previous speaker had mentioned, 4592 03:23:51,100 --> 03:23:55,100 I believe he's the president of the 4593 03:23:55,100 --> 03:23:59,801 hoa that the -- her location, that the 4594 03:24:02,100 --> 03:24:04,100 trees were allegedly cut down, does 4595 03:24:04,100 --> 03:24:07,100 she currently have a view of the lake, 4596 03:24:07,100 --> 03:24:08,100 is that her -- 4597 03:24:08,100 --> 03:24:10,100 >> I imagine, yes. 4598 03:24:10,100 --> 03:24:12,100 I haven't been on the property but I 4599 03:24:12,100 --> 03:24:14,100 imagine, yeah, one property removed, 4600 03:24:14,100 --> 03:24:15,100 yes. 4601 03:24:15,100 --> 03:24:19,100 >> if you could follow my line of 4602 03:24:19,100 --> 03:24:20,100 questions. 4603 03:24:20,100 --> 03:24:21,100 is the proposed project before us, 4604 03:24:21,100 --> 03:24:25,100 does that eliminate her view in its 4605 03:24:25,100 --> 03:24:27,401 totality or is it 20%? 4606 03:24:28,100 --> 03:24:30,100 >> no, it's the width of that second 4607 03:24:30,100 --> 03:24:33,100 story over the width of the lake, so 4608 03:24:33,100 --> 03:24:35,100 it's a very small percentage I would 4609 03:24:35,100 --> 03:24:36,100 imagine. 4610 03:24:36,100 --> 03:24:37,100 >> got it. 4611 03:24:37,100 --> 03:24:39,100 so, according to you, you're the 4612 03:24:39,100 --> 03:24:40,100 architect, she would still have a view 4613 03:24:40,100 --> 03:24:44,100 but the it would just be a lesser 4614 03:24:44,100 --> 03:24:46,100 portion than what she currently has 4615 03:24:46,100 --> 03:24:47,100 now? 4616 03:24:47,100 --> 03:24:49,100 >> yes, there are at least three 4617 03:24:49,100 --> 03:24:52,100 properties in the same situation, so we 4618 03:24:52,100 --> 03:24:54,100 took that into consideration, we 4619 03:24:54,100 --> 03:24:55,100 presented the narrowest profile to 4620 03:24:55,100 --> 03:24:59,100 that, so yeah, it's just the width. 4621 03:24:59,100 --> 03:25:02,100 >> are there any other mitigation you 4622 03:25:02,100 --> 03:25:05,100 have thought of relative to -- 4623 03:25:05,100 --> 03:25:09,100 >> again, we started off with a lot I 4624 03:25:09,100 --> 03:25:12,100 think, we're hesitant to make the 4625 03:25:12,100 --> 03:25:15,100 window a clear story, I hear you about 4626 03:25:15,100 --> 03:25:17,100 the frosted glass, we're hesitant to 4627 03:25:17,100 --> 03:25:19,100 did that and this is a fairly 4628 03:25:19,100 --> 03:25:21,100 substantial house and a great location 4629 03:25:21,100 --> 03:25:23,100 on a lake, we need to do something a 4630 03:25:23,100 --> 03:25:26,100 little special there and frosted glass 4631 03:25:26,100 --> 03:25:29,100 tends to look like it got fogged up 4632 03:25:29,100 --> 03:25:31,100 but I know there will be window 4633 03:25:31,100 --> 03:25:34,100 coverings in those rooms, they're not 4634 03:25:34,100 --> 03:25:36,100 floor to ceiling, they're three feet 4635 03:25:36,100 --> 03:25:38,100 off the ground in the upper floor and 4636 03:25:38,100 --> 03:25:40,100 they go up a little high but they're 4637 03:25:40,100 --> 03:25:44,201 not floor to ceiling, so, we thought 4638 03:25:45,100 --> 03:25:47,100 the screening was the best option. 4639 03:25:47,100 --> 03:25:49,100 >> thank you. 4640 03:25:49,100 --> 03:25:50,100 >> supervisor speier? 4641 03:25:50,100 --> 03:25:52,100 >> to just follow up on the screening, 4642 03:25:52,100 --> 03:25:55,100 when you put that simulation up, it 4643 03:25:55,100 --> 03:25:58,100 showed that after year two, all of 4644 03:25:58,100 --> 03:26:01,100 those trees are much taller. 4645 03:26:01,100 --> 03:26:04,100 at some point, doesn't -- can you 4646 03:26:04,100 --> 03:26:06,100 put that back up a minute so we can 4647 03:26:06,100 --> 03:26:07,100 look at it. 4648 03:26:07,100 --> 03:26:09,100 >> yes. 4649 03:26:21,100 --> 03:26:24,100 >> so, that's when they're initially 4650 03:26:25,100 --> 03:26:28,100 planted, this is year one. 4651 03:26:28,100 --> 03:26:29,100 >> this would be about year two, these 4652 03:26:29,100 --> 03:26:30,100 trees grow about two to three feet a 4653 03:26:30,100 --> 03:26:31,100 year. 4654 03:26:31,100 --> 03:26:33,100 >> so, the extent to which these trees 4655 03:26:33,100 --> 03:26:37,100 are growing on the other side of the 4656 03:26:37,100 --> 03:26:39,100 house where they may be having a view 4657 03:26:39,100 --> 03:26:43,201 of the lake, it becomes less viewable 4658 03:26:44,100 --> 03:26:45,100 I guess, is that correct? 4659 03:26:45,100 --> 03:26:46,100 >> correct. 4660 03:26:46,100 --> 03:26:49,601 >> I think your willingness to work 4661 03:26:50,100 --> 03:26:53,100 with the appellant and maybe reduce 4662 03:26:53,100 --> 03:26:57,801 where those trees are and limit it to 4663 03:26:58,100 --> 03:27:02,201 where the bedroom is area, that may 4664 03:27:04,100 --> 03:27:06,100 satisfy her privacy concerns and I'm 4665 03:27:06,100 --> 03:27:09,601 wondering if it would be appropriate 4666 03:27:10,100 --> 03:27:12,100 to postpone taking final action and 4667 03:27:12,100 --> 03:27:13,100 allow the parties to get together and 4668 03:27:13,100 --> 03:27:17,201 see if they can resolve the issues 4669 03:27:18,100 --> 03:27:19,100 around the screening. 4670 03:27:19,100 --> 03:27:22,100 >> I would say another option 4671 03:27:26,100 --> 03:27:28,100 available would be for us to adjust 4672 03:27:28,100 --> 03:27:31,601 the conditions of approval right now 4673 03:27:32,100 --> 03:27:35,100 to require that they submit a revised 4674 03:27:35,100 --> 03:27:37,100 landscape plan that limits the tree 4675 03:27:37,100 --> 03:27:40,601 planting to that necessary to provide 4676 03:27:41,100 --> 03:27:43,100 privacy screening between the windows. 4677 03:27:43,100 --> 03:27:45,100 >> okay, I'm happy to make that part 4678 03:27:45,100 --> 03:27:47,100 of a motion. 4679 03:27:47,100 --> 03:27:49,100 >> supervisor mueller? 4680 03:27:49,100 --> 03:27:53,801 >> so, I've been up on -- in this 4681 03:27:54,100 --> 03:27:57,100 area as you can imagine having 4682 03:27:57,100 --> 03:27:58,100 represented, I have been up in this 4683 03:27:58,100 --> 03:28:00,100 area and seen this area. 4684 03:28:00,100 --> 03:28:02,100 when you live near one of these lakes 4685 03:28:02,100 --> 03:28:04,100 at a distance from the other homes 4686 03:28:04,100 --> 03:28:06,100 around it, it does not entitle you to 4687 03:28:06,100 --> 03:28:08,100 a view of the lake, many of the 4688 03:28:08,100 --> 03:28:11,100 homes on the lake like block the view 4689 03:28:11,100 --> 03:28:14,601 of the lake from the others. 4690 03:28:15,100 --> 03:28:17,100 so, you know, if you wanted a lake 4691 03:28:17,100 --> 03:28:19,100 front house, you bought a lake front 4692 03:28:19,100 --> 03:28:21,100 house is where I kind of land on 4693 03:28:21,100 --> 03:28:23,100 this issue. 4694 03:28:24,100 --> 03:28:27,100 I don't -- I really -- I have 4695 03:28:27,100 --> 03:28:29,100 difficulty with this one given the 4696 03:28:29,100 --> 03:28:31,100 distance from one house to the other 4697 03:28:31,100 --> 03:28:33,100 and the distance to the lake to be 4698 03:28:33,100 --> 03:28:35,100 making accommodations for someone, 4699 03:28:35,100 --> 03:28:37,100 just candidly. 4700 03:28:38,100 --> 03:28:41,601 so, our planning commission is pretty 4701 03:28:43,100 --> 03:28:45,100 -- I also having been on the board 4702 03:28:45,100 --> 03:28:48,100 now, our planning commission is pretty 4703 03:28:48,100 --> 03:28:49,100 tight, they're pretty strict and 4704 03:28:49,100 --> 03:28:52,601 they approved this one to come 4705 03:28:53,100 --> 03:28:55,100 through, so I am fine with letting 4706 03:28:55,100 --> 03:28:57,100 this one go. 4707 03:28:58,100 --> 03:29:01,100 >> can I just comment on that? 4708 03:29:01,100 --> 03:29:02,100 >> yes, supervisor speier? 4709 03:29:02,100 --> 03:29:04,100 >> so, what we're base basically doing 4710 03:29:04,100 --> 03:29:06,100 is reducing the amount of trees that 4711 03:29:06,100 --> 03:29:10,100 are going to be planted by the 4712 03:29:10,100 --> 03:29:12,100 applicant, so it's going to reduce 4713 03:29:12,100 --> 03:29:14,100 their cost, it's going to create 4714 03:29:14,100 --> 03:29:17,100 greater privacy for the appellant and 4715 03:29:17,100 --> 03:29:19,100 I don't see any harm to do that 4716 03:29:19,100 --> 03:29:20,100 personally. 4717 03:29:20,100 --> 03:29:24,201 >> so, can I jump in here now? 4718 03:29:25,100 --> 03:29:27,401 so, 100% agree with supervisor 4719 03:29:35,100 --> 03:29:37,100 mueller, the planning commission made 4720 03:29:37,100 --> 03:29:39,100 their ruling, they are following the 4721 03:29:39,100 --> 03:29:40,100 county regulations they have in front 4722 03:29:40,100 --> 03:29:41,100 of them. 4723 03:29:41,100 --> 03:29:43,100 I think when you buy a property, you 4724 03:29:43,100 --> 03:29:44,100 do not control your neighbor's 4725 03:29:44,100 --> 03:29:46,100 properties and what that means for you 4726 03:29:46,100 --> 03:29:50,100 and I don't think we should be making 4727 03:29:50,100 --> 03:29:52,100 accommodations. 4728 03:29:54,100 --> 03:29:58,100 I think if the parties waned -- 4729 03:29:58,100 --> 03:30:01,100 wanted to get together and plant less 4730 03:30:01,100 --> 03:30:02,100 trees, that's up to them. 4731 03:30:02,100 --> 03:30:04,100 I don't think it's our decision to 4732 03:30:04,100 --> 03:30:06,401 make or to mandate. 4733 03:30:07,100 --> 03:30:09,100 anyone else want to add anything, 4734 03:30:09,100 --> 03:30:10,100 supervisor gauthier? 4735 03:30:10,100 --> 03:30:12,100 >> yeah, I have a question for you, 4736 03:30:12,100 --> 03:30:13,100 steve. 4737 03:30:13,100 --> 03:30:14,100 can you again -- visually I'm trying 4738 03:30:14,100 --> 03:30:17,100 to think about what 110 feet looks 4739 03:30:17,100 --> 03:30:20,100 like, what are we considering? 4740 03:30:21,100 --> 03:30:24,100 because they're not exactly next door 4741 03:30:24,100 --> 03:30:25,100 neighbors. 4742 03:30:25,100 --> 03:30:28,100 >> no, I'm going to guess wall to 4743 03:30:28,100 --> 03:30:29,100 wall perhaps. 4744 03:30:29,100 --> 03:30:30,100 >> okay. 4745 03:30:30,100 --> 03:30:32,100 >> 50? 4746 03:30:32,100 --> 03:30:33,100 >> so double this room. 4747 03:30:33,100 --> 03:30:36,100 >> I guess I'm not good at guessing 4748 03:30:36,100 --> 03:30:37,100 distances. 4749 03:30:37,100 --> 03:30:39,100 >> that's why I asked you. 4750 03:30:39,100 --> 03:30:41,100 >> honestly, that would be -- 4751 03:30:41,100 --> 03:30:44,601 >> I was thinking in nautical terms. 4752 03:30:45,100 --> 03:30:48,601 >> so, when you're thinking about the 4753 03:30:49,100 --> 03:30:51,100 distance as well, they're not right 4754 03:30:51,100 --> 03:30:54,100 next door, so there's going to be some 4755 03:30:54,100 --> 03:30:56,100 separation, if there's trees that go 4756 03:30:56,100 --> 03:30:59,100 up, that also helps, I'm not 4757 03:30:59,100 --> 03:31:00,100 inclined to making people change 4758 03:31:00,100 --> 03:31:01,100 things. 4759 03:31:01,100 --> 03:31:02,100 I hope you're all going to be 4760 03:31:02,100 --> 03:31:04,100 neighborly, there's an hoa, it would 4761 03:31:04,100 --> 03:31:07,100 be great the if everybody could get 4762 03:31:07,100 --> 03:31:08,100 along. 4763 03:31:08,100 --> 03:31:10,100 I'm more concerned about the appellant 4764 03:31:10,100 --> 03:31:12,401 talking about missing information. 4765 03:31:15,100 --> 03:31:16,100 what is she referencing when she says 4766 03:31:16,100 --> 03:31:17,100 missing information? 4767 03:31:17,100 --> 03:31:19,401 >> there are specific plan 4768 03:31:21,100 --> 03:31:22,100 requirements. 4769 03:31:22,100 --> 03:31:25,100 she made certain assertions about 4770 03:31:28,100 --> 03:31:29,100 bypassing reviews, that's not the case. 4771 03:31:29,100 --> 03:31:30,100 and just with regard to the amount of 4772 03:31:30,100 --> 03:31:33,601 information in each plan set, what 4773 03:31:35,100 --> 03:31:37,100 we're talking about now is the design 4774 03:31:37,100 --> 03:31:39,100 review approval and the grading permit. 4775 03:31:39,100 --> 03:31:41,100 the project's going to require a 4776 03:31:41,100 --> 03:31:44,100 building permit and at that point, 4777 03:31:44,100 --> 03:31:47,100 they submit very detailed construction 4778 03:31:47,100 --> 03:31:50,100 plans and that's at the point where 4779 03:31:50,100 --> 03:31:52,100 we'll make sure those construction 4780 03:31:52,100 --> 03:31:55,100 plans also include all the tree 4781 03:31:55,100 --> 03:31:57,401 protection requirements that she 4782 03:31:58,100 --> 03:31:59,100 mentioned. 4783 03:31:59,100 --> 03:32:00,100 so, at the design review stage, we 4784 03:32:00,100 --> 03:32:04,100 don't always ask for people to include 4785 03:32:04,100 --> 03:32:06,100 every specific detail because there's 4786 03:32:06,100 --> 03:32:08,100 a possibility that the design review 4787 03:32:08,100 --> 03:32:11,100 officer or the planning commission 4788 03:32:11,100 --> 03:32:13,100 could require revisions to that design 4789 03:32:13,100 --> 03:32:16,100 which would then necessitate revisions 4790 03:32:16,100 --> 03:32:18,401 to the plan set. 4791 03:32:19,100 --> 03:32:21,100 so, the plan certainly included all 4792 03:32:21,100 --> 03:32:24,100 the information that we needed to make 4793 03:32:24,100 --> 03:32:27,100 a

recently spoke with the 4863 03:34:48,100 --> 03:34:51,601 redwood city resident about his injury 4864 03:34:56,100 --> 03:34:57,100 encountering e-bike. 4865 03:34:57,100 --> 03:35:00,100 this was an e-bike injury, but an 4866 03:35:00,100 --> 03:35:02,100 e-bike rider was on the sidewalk 4867 03:35:02,100 --> 03:35:04,100 coming towards the pedestrian, he was 4868 03:35:04,100 --> 03:35:07,100 a teen and riding fast and on his 4869 03:35:07,100 --> 03:35:09,100 phone, the elderly pedestrian moved 4870 03:35:09,100 --> 03:35:11,100 quickly to evade him, tripped on a 4871 03:35:11,100 --> 03:35:13,100 root, fell and broke his hip requiring 4872 03:35:13,100 --> 03:35:15,100 a year of recovery. 4873 03:35:15,100 --> 03:35:19,201 the teen driver kept going and again 4874 03:35:21,100 --> 03:35:23,100 injury occurred and not even 4875 03:35:23,100 --> 03:35:25,100 recognized in terms of the data. 4876 03:35:25,100 --> 03:35:27,100 we received requests from law 4877 03:35:27,100 --> 03:35:29,100 enforcement and the cities to create 4878 03:35:29,100 --> 03:35:30,100 this model ordinance. 4879 03:35:30,100 --> 03:35:33,100 of course they can amend it locally to 4880 03:35:33,100 --> 03:35:34,100 the extent they want. 4881 03:35:34,100 --> 03:35:36,100 based on our meetings and the board's 4882 03:35:36,100 --> 03:35:38,100 prior discussion, we've revised the 4883 03:35:38,100 --> 03:35:41,100 ordinance to be less confusing in its 4884 03:35:41,100 --> 03:35:43,100 terminology including the difference 4885 03:35:43,100 --> 03:35:44,100 between legal e-bikes and what 4886 03:35:44,100 --> 03:35:47,100 amounts to an illegal motorcycle to 4887 03:35:47,100 --> 03:35:49,100 the allow sidewalk riding with 4888 03:35:49,100 --> 03:35:51,100 conditions, to reduce the fine for 4889 03:35:51,100 --> 03:35:54,100 first violations from $100 to $50, the 4890 03:35:55,100 --> 03:35:57,100 ordinance continues to allow minors to 4891 03:35:57,100 --> 03:35:59,100 attend an education program instead of 4892 03:35:59,100 --> 03:36:03,100 a fine for the first offense, it comes 4893 03:36:03,100 --> 03:36:05,401 effective january 1, 2027 giving the 4894 03:36:06,100 --> 03:36:08,100 sheriff's office more time to create 4895 03:36:08,100 --> 03:36:10,100 the education diversion program and 4896 03:36:10,100 --> 03:36:11,100 processes. 4897 03:36:11,100 --> 03:36:14,100 we're going to the hear from a few 4898 03:36:14,100 --> 03:36:17,100 witnesses, sheriff binder and can 4899 03:36:18,100 --> 03:36:19,100 deputy larson, ming fong, the father 4900 03:36:19,100 --> 03:36:23,100 of the four year-old who died at the 4901 03:36:23,100 --> 03:36:25,100 the burlingame accident, but first let 4902 03:36:25,100 --> 03:36:28,100 me field to supervisor mueller. 4903 03:36:28,100 --> 03:36:32,100 >> I want to thank you for your work 4904 03:36:32,100 --> 03:36:35,100 on this, you worked incredibly hard on 4905 03:36:35,100 --> 03:36:39,100 this, to say I'm a co-sponsor on this 4906 03:36:39,100 --> 03:36:42,100 is kind and generous, just tremendous 4907 03:36:42,100 --> 03:36:46,100 amount of work and I hope we pass this 4908 03:36:46,100 --> 03:36:47,100 today. 4909 03:36:47,100 --> 03:36:48,100 >> okay. 4910 03:36:48,100 --> 03:36:49,100 >> thank you. 4911 03:36:49,100 --> 03:36:52,601 we will now welcome sheriff binder. 4912 03:37:00,100 --> 03:37:03,100 >> thank you very much, and just a 4913 03:37:03,100 --> 03:37:05,100 brief statement on my behalf, I want 4914 03:37:05,100 --> 03:37:07,100 to thank the board for considering 4915 03:37:07,100 --> 03:37:08,100 this ordinance. 4916 03:37:08,100 --> 03:37:11,100 I believe that it enhances public 4917 03:37:11,100 --> 03:37:14,100 safety in the unincorporated areas. 4918 03:37:14,100 --> 03:37:16,100 it does a number of good things, it 4919 03:37:16,100 --> 03:37:18,100 helps close the gap between what the 4920 03:37:18,100 --> 03:37:22,201 the current state law allows for the 4921 03:37:24,100 --> 03:37:26,100 vehicle code right now and it also 4922 03:37:26,100 --> 03:37:29,100 allows youth to be able to become 4923 03:37:29,100 --> 03:37:31,100 educated for first time violations and 4924 03:37:31,100 --> 03:37:35,100 it also gives us the ability to take 4925 03:37:35,100 --> 03:37:37,100 dangerous devices off of the streets, 4926 03:37:37,100 --> 03:37:41,100 so I also believe it's an excellent 4927 03:37:41,100 --> 03:37:43,100 model ordinance that other cities 4928 03:37:43,100 --> 03:37:45,100 within the county that are looking for 4929 03:37:45,100 --> 03:37:48,100 something similar could model their 4930 03:37:48,100 --> 03:37:51,100 own muni codes and ordinances after, 4931 03:37:51,100 --> 03:37:53,100 for those reasons, I hope the board 4932 03:37:53,100 --> 03:37:55,100 will consider adopting the ordinance. 4933 03:37:55,100 --> 03:37:56,100 I do think the it is good for public 4934 03:37:56,100 --> 03:37:58,100 safety, thank you. 4935 03:38:01,100 --> 03:38:03,100 >> deputy larson? 4936 03:38:04,100 --> 03:38:05,100 >> madam president, board member, 4937 03:38:05,100 --> 03:38:07,100 thank you for having me again, deputy 4938 03:38:07,100 --> 03:38:10,100 larson with sheriff's office, I'm one 4939 03:38:10,100 --> 03:38:13,100 of the traffic units as well as lead 4940 03:38:13,100 --> 03:38:15,100 investigators, here to speak to you in 4941 03:38:15,100 --> 03:38:17,100 support of the ordinance. 4942 03:38:17,100 --> 03:38:19,100 just last week in my personal 4943 03:38:19,100 --> 03:38:21,100 experience, I stopped two kids, one 12 4944 03:38:21,100 --> 03:38:23,401 year-old, one 13 year-old, went 4945 03:38:24,100 --> 03:38:27,601 about 35, 40 miles an hour on a 4946 03:38:28,100 --> 03:38:31,100 freeway overpass, they were on 4947 03:38:36,100 --> 03:38:38,100 e-motos, they informed me their 4948 03:38:38,100 --> 03:38:40,100 parents bought it for them, they moved 4949 03:38:40,100 --> 03:38:43,100 their way up to that, I had a long 4950 03:38:43,100 --> 03:38:46,601 conversation with them and the parents 4951 03:38:47,100 --> 03:38:50,100 about the education, they're doing an 4952 03:38:50,100 --> 03:38:53,100 education first approach helping the 4953 03:38:53,100 --> 03:38:54,100 diversion process in the ordinance 4954 03:38:54,100 --> 03:38:58,100 which is a great aspect to have. 4955 03:38:58,100 --> 03:39:01,100 I continually see this every day when 4956 03:39:01,100 --> 03:39:04,100 I'm at work and off work, kids taking 4957 03:39:04,100 --> 03:39:06,100 up el camino real going to and from 4958 03:39:06,100 --> 03:39:08,100 school, I know school start this is 4959 03:39:08,100 --> 03:39:10,100 week, we're going to have an increase 4960 03:39:10,100 --> 03:39:13,601 in that, this ordinance only helps 4961 03:39:14,100 --> 03:39:17,100 clarify what's in the code. 4962 03:39:22,100 --> 03:39:25,100 the accidents that we're also 4963 03:39:25,100 --> 03:39:28,100 seeing with this -- with e-bikes at 4964 03:39:28,100 --> 03:39:30,100 faster speeds and they're not wearing 4965 03:39:30,100 --> 03:39:34,100 proper helmets to go at those speeds 4966 03:39:34,100 --> 03:39:36,100 is motorcycle accidents, severe head 4967 03:39:36,100 --> 03:39:37,100 trauma, severe bleeding, lacerations, 4968 03:39:37,100 --> 03:39:40,100 this is all stuff I see very 4969 03:39:40,100 --> 03:39:42,100 consistently in motorcycle accidents 4970 03:39:42,100 --> 03:39:46,100 and now we're seeing it with kids in 4971 03:39:46,100 --> 03:39:47,100 e-bike accidents quite often so 4972 03:39:47,100 --> 03:39:49,100 getting the education out there is 4973 03:39:49,100 --> 03:39:51,100 even more important for the parents 4974 03:39:51,100 --> 03:39:53,401 and for the kids. 4975 03:39:54,100 --> 03:39:57,100 again, this only clarifies everything 4976 03:39:57,100 --> 03:40:00,100 and it also helps pedestrians on the 4977 03:40:00,100 --> 03:40:01,100 sidewalk, it helps restrict the speeds 4978 03:40:01,100 --> 03:40:03,100 on sidewalks which is very important. 4979 03:40:03,100 --> 03:40:06,100 I'm a very big advocate of keeping the 4980 03:40:06,100 --> 03:40:10,201 speeds lower on sidewalks to help the 4981 03:40:11,100 --> 03:40:14,100 pedestrians cross so accidents don't 4982 03:40:14,100 --> 03:40:15,100 happen, just background on that, I do 4983 03:40:15,100 --> 03:40:17,100 a lot of math with my investigations, 4984 03:40:17,100 --> 03:40:20,601 your average e-bike rider, a 200 pound 4985 03:40:21,100 --> 03:40:23,100 male on an e-bike, if they're going a 4986 03:40:23,100 --> 03:40:26,100 speed of about 5 miles an hour, the he 4987 03:40:26,100 --> 03:40:30,801 were to hit a pedestrian at 3 miles an 4988 03:40:31,100 --> 03:40:34,100 hour, you're looking at 60.75 pounds 4989 03:40:34,100 --> 03:40:35,100 of force. 4990 03:40:35,100 --> 03:40:37,100 that's only at 5 miles an hour, due to 4991 03:40:37,100 --> 03:40:39,100 physics, if you double that to 10 4992 03:40:39,100 --> 03:40:42,100 miles an hour which isn't too much 4993 03:40:42,100 --> 03:40:45,100 faster, but even just doubling that, 4994 03:40:45,100 --> 03:40:48,100 the pound damage increases to 676 4995 03:40:49,100 --> 03:40:51,100 pounds so it substantially quantifies 4996 03:40:51,100 --> 03:40:55,100 it and makes it more significant, this 4997 03:40:55,100 --> 03:40:56,100 ordinance helps keep those speeds low, 4998 03:40:56,100 --> 03:40:58,100 it keep it is public safe. 4999 03:40:58,100 --> 03:41:00,100 we want our kids to be safe and we 5000 03:41:00,100 --> 03:41:02,100 want the commuters to be safe and the 5001 03:41:02,100 --> 03:41:04,100 riders to be safe as well, so thank 5002 03:41:04,100 --> 03:41:05,100 you for your time. 5003 03:41:05,100 --> 03:41:06,100 . 5004 03:41:06,100 --> 03:41:08,100 >> thank you. 5005 03:41:12,100 --> 03:41:15,100 >> then county attorney john nibbelin? 5006 03:41:15,100 --> 03:41:17,100 >> thank you, supervisor. 5007 03:41:18,100 --> 03:41:22,100 I was hoping maybe you could bring up 5008 03:41:22,100 --> 03:41:23,100 the presentation that -- do we have a 5009 03:41:23,100 --> 03:41:24,100 presentation that got sent to you? 5010 03:41:24,100 --> 03:41:25,100 okay, let me spend a few minutes and 5011 03:41:25,100 --> 03:41:27,100 just ducktail, I wanted to talk a bit 5012 03:41:27,100 --> 03:41:29,100 about the mechanics, the nuts and 5013 03:41:29,100 --> 03:41:32,100 bolts of the ordinance, supervisor 5014 03:41:32,100 --> 03:41:34,100 speier, supervisor mueller and the 5015 03:41:34,100 --> 03:41:37,100 sheriff and deputy larson talked at 5016 03:41:37,100 --> 03:41:40,100 the policy level about why this is so 5017 03:41:40,100 --> 03:41:42,100 important, but I think one of the 5018 03:41:42,100 --> 03:41:43,100 things worth noting is what we're 5019 03:41:43,100 --> 03:41:44,100 bringing back is something very 5020 03:41:44,100 --> 03:41:46,100 similar to what we had a chance to 5021 03:41:46,100 --> 03:41:50,201 talk with the board about in prior 5022 03:41:52,100 --> 03:41:55,100 meetings and it does as was noted by 5023 03:41:55,100 --> 03:41:56,100 deputy larson, a lot of what the 5024 03:41:56,100 --> 03:41:59,100 ordinance does in is in the first 5025 03:41:59,100 --> 03:42:00,100 instance sets forth there's already a 5026 03:42:00,100 --> 03:42:04,801 body of law here that exists in state 5027 03:42:05,100 --> 03:42:08,100 law and the ordinance through its 5028 03:42:08,100 --> 03:42:09,100 findings sets forth the county's 5029 03:42:09,100 --> 03:42:11,100 and the sheriff's commitment to 5030 03:42:11,100 --> 03:42:13,100 enforcement of those laws. 5031 03:42:13,100 --> 03:42:15,100 as has been noted as well, a 5032 03:42:15,100 --> 03:42:18,100 definition has been added to clarify 5033 03:42:18,100 --> 03:42:21,601 what an illegal motorcycle is, an 5034 03:42:23,100 --> 03:42:25,100 electric powered motor vehicle 5035 03:42:25,100 --> 03:42:28,100 resembling a bicycle that on public 5036 03:42:28,100 --> 03:42:29,100 streets doesn't satisfy 5037 03:42:29,100 --> 03:42:32,100 specific requirements in the vehicle code 5038 03:42:32,100 --> 03:42:35,100 and doesn't satisfy various provisions 5039 03:42:35,100 --> 03:42:37,100 of the vehicle code because for 5040 03:42:37,100 --> 03:42:40,100 example it doesn't qualify as a 5041 03:42:40,100 --> 03:42:43,601 motorcycle, motor driven psych ler or 5042 03:42:44,100 --> 03:42:46,100 motorized bicycle for lack of brakes 5043 03:42:46,100 --> 03:42:48,100 or lighting or things of that nature, 5044 03:42:48,100 --> 03:42:51,100 very clear about what an illegal 5045 03:42:51,100 --> 03:42:55,100 motorcycle is and I think that clarity 5046 03:42:55,100 --> 03:42:59,201 really elapses to move -- helps to 5047 03:43:00,100 --> 03:43:01,100 move the ordinance forward. 5048 03:43:01,100 --> 03:43:03,100 there are some local regulations in 5049 03:43:03,100 --> 03:43:05,100 this ordinance to address gaps in 5050 03:43:05,100 --> 03:43:07,100 state law and we'll talk about what 5051 03:43:07,100 --> 03:43:09,100 those are. 5052 03:43:09,100 --> 03:43:11,100 there are also some enforcement 5053 03:43:11,100 --> 03:43:14,100 provisions, so among the local 5054 03:43:14,100 --> 03:43:16,100 regulations that the ordinance 5055 03:43:16,100 --> 03:43:19,601 provides for is a prohibition on 5056 03:43:21,100 --> 03:43:24,100 operating these vehicles in an unsafe 5057 03:43:24,100 --> 03:43:26,100 manner which means that for example 5058 03:43:26,100 --> 03:43:28,100 posing a danger to the operator or 5059 03:43:28,100 --> 03:43:31,100 others, things like acrobatics, tricks, 5060 03:43:35,100 --> 03:43:38,100 stunts that pose body injury or death, 5061 03:43:38,100 --> 03:43:41,100 carrying passengers when it's not 5062 03:43:42,100 --> 03:43:45,100 designed to carry a passenger, 5063 03:43:45,100 --> 03:43:46,100 caring things like a cell phone in 5064 03:43:46,100 --> 03:43:49,100 ways that would pose dangers to 5065 03:43:49,100 --> 03:43:50,100 others, the ordinance would also 5066 03:43:50,100 --> 03:43:53,100 prohibit parking to block a sidewalk 5067 03:43:53,100 --> 03:43:55,100 or on a public property where a bike 5068 03:43:55,100 --> 03:43:57,401 parking is otherwise prohibited. 5069 03:43:58,100 --> 03:44:01,601 and also notably the ordinance would 5070 03:44:02,100 --> 03:44:04,100 provide tampering with the serial 5071 03:44:04,100 --> 03:44:07,601 number or unique identifier on these 5072 03:44:08,100 --> 03:44:09,100 devices. 5073 03:44:09,100 --> 03:44:11,100 I think there was some conversation 5074 03:44:11,100 --> 03:44:14,100 about riding of e-bicycles on 5075 03:44:14,100 --> 03:44:15,100 sidewalks and safe speeds. 5076 03:44:15,100 --> 03:44:18,100 so, a couple of things the ordinance 5077 03:44:18,100 --> 03:44:20,100 would do, prohibit illegal motorcycles 5078 03:44:20,100 --> 03:44:23,100 on the sidewalks and where 5079 03:44:23,100 --> 03:44:25,100 e-micromobility devices which is the 5080 03:44:25,100 --> 03:44:29,801 term we used in the ordinance for the 5081 03:44:30,100 --> 03:44:32,100 various regulated devices, where 5082 03:44:32,100 --> 03:44:35,100 they're not otherwise prohibited on 5083 03:44:35,100 --> 03:44:37,100 sidewalks, the ordinance would impose 5084 03:44:37,100 --> 03:44:38,100 conditions specifically a requirement to 5085 03:44:38,100 --> 03:44:40,100 yield to pedestrians and to exercise 5086 03:44:40,100 --> 03:44:43,100 due care to avoid collisions. 5087 03:44:44,100 --> 03:44:47,100 the requirement to provide clear, 5088 03:44:47,100 --> 03:44:48,100 audible signals before passing others 5089 03:44:48,100 --> 03:44:51,100 and a speed limit of 5 miles per 5090 03:44:51,100 --> 03:44:54,100 hour with reduction to walking speed 5091 03:44:54,100 --> 03:44:56,100 or dismounting when overtaking others 5092 03:44:56,100 --> 03:44:57,100 or when you're close enough to create 5093 03:44:57,100 --> 03:44:58,100 a hazard. 5094 03:44:58,100 --> 03:45:01,100 this ordinance would apply only in the 5095 03:45:01,100 --> 03:45:03,100 unincorporated areas but the goal is 5096 03:45:03,100 --> 03:45:05,100 to create a framework or a model that 5097 03:45:05,100 --> 03:45:09,201 cities in the county can draw upon. 5098 03:45:10,100 --> 03:45:13,100 with respect to enforcement, violation 5099 03:45:14,100 --> 03:45:15,100 of the local regulations that would be 5100 03:45:15,100 --> 03:45:17,100 set forth by this ordinance would be 5101 03:45:17,100 --> 03:45:20,100 subject to the an infraction on an 5102 03:45:20,100 --> 03:45:22,100 administrative fine, it would be ranging 5103 03:45:22,100 --> 03:45:25,100 from $50 to $500 depending on how 5104 03:45:26,100 --> 03:45:29,100 frequently you would have a violation, 5105 03:45:29,100 --> 03:45:31,100 $50 from the first, that was reduced 5106 03:45:31,100 --> 03:45:33,100 by $100 from feedback that was 5107 03:45:33,100 --> 03:45:34,100 received from this board and from 5108 03:45:34,100 --> 03:45:36,100 members of the public. 5109 03:45:36,100 --> 03:45:39,100 another thing that was added through 5110 03:45:39,100 --> 03:45:41,100 and doing the study session was a 5111 03:45:41,100 --> 03:45:44,100 july 1, 2027 effective date to the 5112 03:45:44,100 --> 03:45:46,100 afford additional time for education 5113 03:45:46,100 --> 03:45:48,100 and outreach . 5114 03:45:51,100 --> 03:45:53,100 at a high level, those are the things 5115 03:45:53,100 --> 03:45:55,100 contained in this ordinance subject to 5116 03:45:55,100 --> 03:45:56,100 any of your questions. 5117 03:45:56,100 --> 03:45:58,100 >> thank you, do we want to invite the 5118 03:45:58,100 --> 03:45:59,100 next speaker? 5119 03:45:59,100 --> 03:46:00,100 >> yes, thank you. 5120 03:46:00,100 --> 03:46:04,801 I would like to invite ming fong, he 5121 03:46:05,100 --> 03:46:09,100 is the father of little aiden fong who 5122 03:46:09,100 --> 03:46:11,100 tragically lost his life in a chain 5123 03:46:11,100 --> 03:46:14,100 reaction accident in burlingame, I met 5124 03:46:14,100 --> 03:46:17,100 mr. Fong a few weeks ago and he asked 5125 03:46:17,100 --> 03:46:20,100 me if she could share his story during 5126 03:46:20,100 --> 03:46:21,100 today's meeting and I want to thank 5127 03:46:21,100 --> 03:46:23,100 him for both his willingness and 5128 03:46:23,100 --> 03:46:25,401 courage in doing so. 5129 03:46:27,100 --> 03:46:29,100 >> welcome, and I just want to the 5130 03:46:29,100 --> 03:46:30,100 acknowledge that I believe it's been a 5131 03:46:30,100 --> 03:46:34,201 little over a year since your son 5132 03:46:35,100 --> 03:46:37,100 passed and I just admire you're here 5133 03:46:37,100 --> 03:46:41,801 with us just days after that one year 5134 03:46:42,100 --> 03:46:44,100 date. 5135 03:46:47,100 --> 03:46:49,100 >> thank you, supervisors, for giving 5136 03:46:49,100 --> 03:46:52,100 me the opportunity to speak today and 5137 03:46:52,100 --> 03:46:54,100 thank you for considering e-bike 5138 03:46:54,100 --> 03:46:56,100 regulations here in san mateo county. 5139 03:46:56,100 --> 03:46:59,100 we know that counties like marin, san 5140 03:46:59,100 --> 03:47:02,100 diego that have e-bike measures in 5141 03:47:02,100 --> 03:47:04,100 place, they've seen meaningful 5142 03:47:04,100 --> 03:47:07,100 improvements on the ground and here 5143 03:47:07,100 --> 03:47:10,100 they deserve that same protection. 5144 03:47:10,100 --> 03:47:12,100 we all recognize e-bike require 5145 03:47:12,100 --> 03:47:15,100 thoughtful, local, state and national 5146 03:47:15,100 --> 03:47:17,100 regulations, while that that work 5147 03:47:17,100 --> 03:47:20,100 continues, no more children should be 5148 03:47:20,100 --> 03:47:21,100 hurt. 5149 03:47:21,100 --> 03:47:24,100 the ordinance that's been discussed 5150 03:47:24,100 --> 03:47:26,100 today is the first of many steps 5151 03:47:26,100 --> 03:47:28,100 towards that goal, it's an important 5152 03:47:28,100 --> 03:47:30,100 step because we have to start 5153 03:47:30,100 --> 03:47:31,100 somewhere. 5154 03:47:31,100 --> 03:47:34,100 I would like to take a moment to share 5155 03:47:34,100 --> 03:47:37,100 our story with you today. 5156 03:47:40,100 --> 03:47:43,100 august 8, 2025, a little over a year 5157 03:47:43,100 --> 03:47:46,100 ago, an suv was pulling out on to from 5158 03:47:46,100 --> 03:47:48,100 a parking lot on to a busy street, her 5159 03:47:48,100 --> 03:47:51,100 view was blocked by a parked car, so 5160 03:47:51,100 --> 03:47:52,100 visibility was impaired and she had 5161 03:47:52,100 --> 03:47:53,100 to edge forward. 5162 03:47:53,100 --> 03:47:57,100 on the same street at the same time, 5163 03:47:57,100 --> 03:48:00,100 an 11 year-old e-bike rider on a class 5164 03:48:00,100 --> 03:48:02,100 2 e-bike going 18 miles an hour was 5165 03:48:02,100 --> 03:48:05,100 traveling down the same street with a 5166 03:48:05,100 --> 03:48:06,100 ten year-old sister on the back, by 5167 03:48:06,100 --> 03:48:08,100 the time he saw the car, it was too 5168 03:48:08,100 --> 03:48:11,601 late, he couldn't stop, t-boned the 5169 03:48:13,100 --> 03:48:16,100 suv, the suv driver freaked out, 5170 03:48:16,100 --> 03:48:18,100 pressed gas instead of brake, 5171 03:48:18,100 --> 03:48:20,100 accelerated into a restaurant across 5172 03:48:20,100 --> 03:48:22,100 the street. 5173 03:48:23,100 --> 03:48:25,100 our son aiden who was four and a half 5174 03:48:25,100 --> 03:48:29,100 years at the time died instantly from 5175 03:48:29,100 --> 03:48:31,100 a fractured skull and my wife and I 5176 03:48:31,100 --> 03:48:33,401 had to witness that. 5177 03:48:36,100 --> 03:48:39,100 aiden's death was tragic but more 5178 03:48:39,100 --> 03:48:41,100 importantly, it was senseless because 5179 03:48:41,100 --> 03:48:43,401 it was fully preventable. 5180 03:48:44,100 --> 03:48:46,100 there were multiple responsible 5181 03:48:46,100 --> 03:48:49,100 parties and multiple pointers along 5182 03:48:49,100 --> 03:48:51,100 that timeline this could have been 5183 03:48:51,100 --> 03:48:52,100 stopped. 5184 03:48:52,100 --> 03:48:55,100 today I'm asking you to act on just 5185 03:48:55,100 --> 03:48:57,100 one of them. 5186 03:48:57,100 --> 03:48:59,100 an 11 year-old should not be operating 5187 03:48:59,100 --> 03:49:02,100 a motor vehicle that can go up to 20 5188 03:49:02,100 --> 03:49:05,100 miles an hour, they do not understand 5189 03:49:05,100 --> 03:49:07,100 the traffic rules to the thoroughness 5190 03:49:07,100 --> 03:49:11,801 as we all do, they do not have 5191 03:49:12,100 --> 03:49:13,100 situational awareness or reaction time. 5192 03:49:13,100 --> 03:49:15,100 this is not just common sense, this is 5193 03:49:15,100 --> 03:49:18,100 a failure in policy and a failure to 5194 03:49:18,100 --> 03:49:20,100 protect the community. 5195 03:49:20,100 --> 03:49:23,100 that's why the ordinance that's being 5196 03:49:23,100 --> 03:49:25,100 discussed today is an important first 5197 03:49:25,100 --> 03:49:29,801 step that is an -- a safe operation 5198 03:49:31,100 --> 03:49:33,100 of e-bikes. 5199 03:49:34,100 --> 03:49:37,100 aiden, two days before he died, he 5200 03:49:37,100 --> 03:49:40,100 built this lego tower with blocks that 5201 03:49:40,100 --> 03:49:42,401 say protect our city. 5202 03:49:44,100 --> 03:49:46,100 maybe he was [inaudible], I don't 5203 03:49:46,100 --> 03:49:48,100 know, but that's all I'm asking you to 5204 03:49:48,100 --> 03:49:51,100 do today, to protect our city. 5205 03:49:51,100 --> 03:49:54,100 we absolutely need comprehensive state 5206 03:49:54,100 --> 03:49:56,100 and nationwide regulation but we 5207 03:49:56,100 --> 03:49:59,601 cannot wait, we cannot let another 5208 03:50:00,100 --> 03:50:03,100 family suffer and face the same 5209 03:50:03,100 --> 03:50:04,100 consequences and the insufferable pain 5210 03:50:04,100 --> 03:50:07,100 that me and my wife and the rest of 5211 03:50:07,100 --> 03:50:08,100 our families will go through for the 5212 03:50:08,100 --> 03:50:10,100 rest of our lives. 5213 03:50:10,100 --> 03:50:12,100 so, we must add county level 5214 03:50:12,100 --> 03:50:13,100 provisions while all these other 5215 03:50:13,100 --> 03:50:16,100 important work is going on in parallel. 5216 03:50:16,100 --> 03:50:19,100 this is your opportunity to save lives. 5217 03:50:19,100 --> 03:50:23,100 so, I thank you today, I thank you, 5218 03:50:23,100 --> 03:50:25,100 supervisor speier, mueller, for 5219 03:50:25,100 --> 03:50:26,100 proposing this ordinance. 5220 03:50:26,100 --> 03:50:29,100 I thank you, supervisors corzo, 5221 03:50:30,100 --> 03:50:32,100 gauthier and canepa for hearing 5222 03:50:32,100 --> 03:50:34,100 aiden's call to protect our city and 5223 03:50:34,100 --> 03:50:36,401 for taking the action. 5224 03:50:39,100 --> 03:50:42,100 >> thank you so much, mr. Fong. 5225 03:50:42,100 --> 03:50:46,100 and as we talked before when a family 5226 03:50:46,100 --> 03:50:50,100 has this kind of loss, they want the 5227 03:50:50,100 --> 03:50:53,100 make sure that their child has not 5228 03:50:53,100 --> 03:50:56,100 died in vain and I think to the extent 5229 03:50:56,100 --> 03:51:00,100 we will pass this ordinance today on 5230 03:51:00,100 --> 03:51:02,100 its first reading, this will be a way 5231 03:51:02,100 --> 03:51:04,100 for mr. Fong and the other families 5232 03:51:04,100 --> 03:51:07,100 throughout the bay area who have had 5233 03:51:07,100 --> 03:51:11,100 to deal with this tragic experience to 5234 03:51:11,100 --> 03:51:14,100 know that their child has not died in 5235 03:51:14,100 --> 03:51:16,100 vain, so again, my great gratitude to 5236 03:51:16,100 --> 03:51:17,100 you for being here today. 5237 03:51:17,100 --> 03:51:19,100 >> thank you. 5238 03:51:20,100 --> 03:51:23,100 >> and with that, let me just close by 5239 03:51:23,100 --> 03:51:26,100 saying that this is about making sure 5240 03:51:26,100 --> 03:51:29,100 e-bikes are available to our kids and 5241 03:51:29,100 --> 03:51:32,100 to adults but under safe 5242 03:51:32,100 --> 03:51:34,100 circumstances, that both -- that we 5243 03:51:34,100 --> 03:51:38,100 share the roadway so that people can 5244 03:51:38,100 --> 03:51:41,100 walk on streets, on sidewalks as 5245 03:51:41,100 --> 03:51:44,100 pedestrians and not be in fear, that 5246 03:51:44,100 --> 03:51:47,601 we educate our young people, the 5247 03:51:48,100 --> 03:51:51,100 greatest increase in incidents of 5248 03:51:52,100 --> 03:51:55,100 e-bike injuries are from children 14 5249 03:51:56,100 --> 03:51:58,100 and younger, so this is where the 5250 03:51:58,100 --> 03:52:02,201 greatest need is to educate and I 5251 03:52:03,100 --> 03:52:05,100 think this particular piece of 5252 03:52:05,100 --> 03:52:06,100 legislation will go there and I just 5253 03:52:06,100 --> 03:52:09,100 want the also thank deputy larson and 5254 03:52:09,100 --> 03:52:12,100 sheriff binder again for recognizing 5255 03:52:12,100 --> 03:52:15,601 the importance of educating first and 5256 03:52:16,100 --> 03:52:18,100 foremost but also being clear about 5257 03:52:18,100 --> 03:52:21,100 what the repercussions are if you fail 5258 03:52:21,100 --> 03:52:24,100 in terms of abiding by what is already 5259 03:52:24,100 --> 03:52:26,100 existing law. 5260 03:52:27,100 --> 03:52:28,100 so, with that. 5261 03:52:28,100 --> 03:52:31,601 >> and madam president, I needed to 5262 03:52:32,100 --> 03:52:34,401 ducktail something after supervisor 5263 03:52:35,100 --> 03:52:37,100 speier finished talking, in the 5264 03:52:37,100 --> 03:52:39,100 effective date prosed for this 5265 03:52:39,100 --> 03:52:41,100 ordinance is actually january 1 of 5266 03:52:41,100 --> 03:52:45,100 2027, I said july, so I wanted to 5267 03:52:45,100 --> 03:52:46,100 apologize and correct myself. 5268 03:52:46,100 --> 03:52:47,100 >> okay. 5269 03:52:47,100 --> 03:52:49,100 thank you. 5270 03:52:49,100 --> 03:52:52,100 any questions from the board? 5271 03:52:52,100 --> 03:52:53,100 >> supervisor gauthier? 5272 03:52:53,100 --> 03:52:55,100 >> I have a question, thank you to my 5273 03:52:55,100 --> 03:52:56,100 colleagues for bringing this forward. 5274 03:52:56,100 --> 03:52:58,100 how are we going to hold the 5275 03:52:58,100 --> 03:53:00,100 manufacturers responsible as well? 5276 03:53:00,100 --> 03:53:03,601 >> well, in part, we're in this 5277 03:53:04,100 --> 03:53:07,100 position because they frankly got to 5278 03:53:07,100 --> 03:53:09,100 the legislature and were able to 5279 03:53:09,100 --> 03:53:12,601 create an environment where there was 5280 03:53:15,100 --> 03:53:17,100 no responsibility, no information 5281 03:53:17,100 --> 03:53:20,601 provided, there is the ability under 5282 03:53:21,100 --> 03:53:24,601 certain code sections for us locally 5283 03:53:26,100 --> 03:53:30,100 to see practices if they engage in 5284 03:53:30,100 --> 03:53:33,100 practices where they're selling an 5285 03:53:33,100 --> 03:53:36,100 e-moto which is illegal to be on the 5286 03:53:36,100 --> 03:53:38,100 roads that we can take some action 5287 03:53:38,100 --> 03:53:40,100 there and I think we had testimony at 5288 03:53:40,100 --> 03:53:42,100 our last hearing by the county 5289 03:53:42,100 --> 03:53:45,100 attorney staff I believe to talk about 5290 03:53:45,100 --> 03:53:48,601 how they can independently move on 5291 03:53:49,100 --> 03:53:51,100 those -- not necessarily the 5292 03:53:51,100 --> 03:53:53,100 manufacturers but the sellers. 5293 03:53:53,100 --> 03:53:56,100 >> and then to the sheriffs, are we 5294 03:53:56,100 --> 03:53:58,100 tracking the devices, the names of the 5295 03:53:58,100 --> 03:53:59,100 devices ases we're stopping, as you're 5296 03:53:59,100 --> 03:54:03,801 stopping, is there a way to track the 5297 03:54:04,100 --> 03:54:05,100 manufacturer and keep that information 5298 03:54:05,100 --> 03:54:07,100 as well? 5299 03:54:08,100 --> 03:54:11,100 >> as the moment we're tracking 5300 03:54:11,100 --> 03:54:13,100 e-bikes that are involved in 5301 03:54:13,100 --> 03:54:15,100 collisions or e-bikes that we stop, 5302 03:54:15,100 --> 03:54:18,100 we're working with the companies such 5303 03:54:18,100 --> 03:54:22,100 as ticket pro or turbo date to flag 5304 03:54:22,100 --> 03:54:25,100 any bicycle we stop to say it's an 5305 03:54:25,100 --> 03:54:28,100 e-bike, when you do make a citation in 5306 03:54:28,100 --> 03:54:29,100 there, it does have the brand in 5307 03:54:29,100 --> 03:54:32,100 there as well as when we take a police 5308 03:54:32,100 --> 03:54:33,100 report for a collision, we have to tag 5309 03:54:33,100 --> 03:54:35,100 it as an e-bike. 5310 03:54:35,100 --> 03:54:38,100 as the this situation has developed in 5311 03:54:38,100 --> 03:54:39,100 the last about I would say year and a 5312 03:54:39,100 --> 03:54:43,100 half or so, as it's getting more and 5313 03:54:43,100 --> 03:54:45,100 more prevalent, we're 5314 03:54:48,100 --> 03:54:50,100 starting to track this data more 5315 03:54:50,100 --> 03:54:51,100 accurately. 5316 03:54:51,100 --> 03:54:53,100 >> many of these bikes are bought 5317 03:54:53,100 --> 03:54:56,100 online and misrepresented online as to 5318 03:54:56,100 --> 03:54:58,100 their legality, so, there's a lot of 5319 03:54:58,100 --> 03:55:02,100 holes that have to be closed over 5320 03:55:02,100 --> 03:55:03,100 time. 5321 03:55:03,100 --> 03:55:04,100 >> okay. 5322 03:55:04,100 --> 03:55:06,100 I have a couple of clarifying 5323 03:55:06,100 --> 03:55:07,100 questions. 5324 03:55:07,100 --> 03:55:09,100 I just wanted to check in about the 5325 03:55:09,100 --> 03:55:12,601 status of the development of a 5326 03:55:14,100 --> 03:55:17,100 diversion program, I know the 5327 03:55:18,100 --> 03:55:22,100 ordinance speaks to one and I'm just 5328 03:55:22,100 --> 03:55:25,100 wondering if we have an update on that. 5329 03:55:25,100 --> 03:55:29,100 >> I could probably say a couple words 5330 03:55:29,100 --> 03:55:31,100 about that, we've been at an extensive 5331 03:55:31,100 --> 03:55:32,100 conversation at the staff level, 5332 03:55:32,100 --> 03:55:35,100 we've worked with legislative staff 5333 03:55:35,100 --> 03:55:37,100 and both the sheriff's office and 5334 03:55:37,100 --> 03:55:40,601 probation and we are still in 5335 03:55:41,100 --> 03:55:43,100 conversation, I believe that we had 5336 03:55:43,100 --> 03:55:46,100 identified a program through stanford 5337 03:55:48,100 --> 03:55:50,100 hospital system and looking at a means 5338 03:55:50,100 --> 03:55:53,100 of bringing that program as a primary 5339 03:55:53,100 --> 03:55:55,100 way forward and we've had some 5340 03:55:55,100 --> 03:55:56,100 conversations with probation about 5341 03:55:56,100 --> 03:55:59,100 things that we would do with the 5342 03:55:59,100 --> 03:56:01,100 traffic referee or the traffic hearing 5343 03:56:01,100 --> 03:56:03,100 officer who they have with referrals 5344 03:56:03,100 --> 03:56:05,100 to that program but it remains a work 5345 03:56:05,100 --> 03:56:08,100 in progressing and I should probably 5346 03:56:08,100 --> 03:56:11,601 have noted and I appreciate you 5347 03:56:12,100 --> 03:56:13,100 raising the question, the ordinance as 5348 03:56:13,100 --> 03:56:15,100 drafted focuses diversion on youth 5349 03:56:15,100 --> 03:56:17,100 offenders as opposed to -- or hose who 5350 03:56:17,100 --> 03:56:20,100 are cited, you know, who are youth as 5351 03:56:20,100 --> 03:56:22,100 opposed to adults so that's an 5352 03:56:22,100 --> 03:56:23,100 important thing to flag, we are 5353 03:56:23,100 --> 03:56:25,100 working that matter. 5354 03:56:27,100 --> 03:56:28,100 >> you just answered my next question. 5355 03:56:28,100 --> 03:56:32,100 I believe at the last meeting, we 5356 03:56:32,100 --> 03:56:33,100 discussed including adults, is that an 5357 03:56:33,100 --> 03:56:36,100 amendment that would be acceptable? 5358 03:56:36,100 --> 03:56:38,100 >> the -- we want to get this on the 5359 03:56:38,100 --> 03:56:41,100 books, we want to have the diversion 5360 03:56:41,100 --> 03:56:43,100 program available for youth because 5361 03:56:43,100 --> 03:56:45,100 that's where the greatest incidences 5362 03:56:45,100 --> 03:56:47,100 are happening, our plan is to come 5363 03:56:47,100 --> 03:56:49,100 back at a later date and have a 5364 03:56:49,100 --> 03:56:53,201 program for adults as well but we 5365 03:56:55,100 --> 03:56:56,100 didn't want to wait until that is 5366 03:56:56,100 --> 03:56:57,100 built when we're in a position where 5367 03:56:57,100 --> 03:56:59,100 we can -- 5368 03:57:01,100 --> 03:57:02,100 >> understood. 5369 03:57:02,100 --> 03:57:03,100 >> as a factual matter and the logistics 5370 03:57:03,100 --> 03:57:04,100 of dealing with the adult side was so 5371 03:57:04,100 --> 03:57:05,100 much more complex than youth. 5372 03:57:05,100 --> 03:57:06,100 >> okay, no problem. 5373 03:57:06,100 --> 03:57:10,801 I just have a suggestion, so, I know 5374 03:57:11,100 --> 03:57:14,100 in adult traffic court, they have a long 5375 03:57:14,100 --> 03:57:16,401 list of acceptable programs. 5376 03:57:18,100 --> 03:57:19,100 >> I know there are existing online 5377 03:57:19,100 --> 03:57:20,100 programs, that would make it probably 5378 03:57:20,100 --> 03:57:22,100 a little more accessible. 5379 03:57:22,100 --> 03:57:24,100 I know if stanford's is online, but I 5380 03:57:24,100 --> 03:57:26,100 would suggest that we develop a 5381 03:57:26,100 --> 03:57:29,100 similar list as well so that folks are 5382 03:57:29,100 --> 03:57:33,100 able to pick from a variety of options 5383 03:57:33,100 --> 03:57:37,100 and then my next question was just 5384 03:57:37,100 --> 03:57:41,801 about -- are we able to include some 5385 03:57:46,100 --> 03:57:48,100 language around prohibiting the 5386 03:57:48,100 --> 03:57:51,601 alteration of serial numbers from -- 5387 03:57:58,100 --> 03:58:00,100 on e-bikes and also banning the 5388 03:58:00,100 --> 03:58:02,100 covering of manufacturing stickers? 5389 03:58:02,100 --> 03:58:05,100 because I know that often happens 5390 03:58:05,100 --> 03:58:08,100 because that is how sometimes they are 5391 03:58:08,100 --> 03:58:11,100 easily identifiable as e-moto's, so I 5392 03:58:11,100 --> 03:58:14,601 would request that that be included 5393 03:58:18,100 --> 03:58:19,100 at either now or at a later date, 5394 03:58:19,100 --> 03:58:20,100 whatever is possible. 5395 03:58:20,100 --> 03:58:23,100 and I'll just end by thanking my 5396 03:58:23,100 --> 03:58:25,100 colleagues for bringing this forward. 5397 03:58:25,100 --> 03:58:30,100 I know it has felt like a little bit 5398 03:58:30,100 --> 03:58:32,401 of a -- sorry? 5399 03:58:33,100 --> 03:58:35,100 yeah, I was going to say a painful 5400 03:58:35,100 --> 03:58:37,100 process at times, that's accurate. 5401 03:58:37,100 --> 03:58:40,100 but I do think it's important that we 5402 03:58:40,100 --> 03:58:43,100 are conscientious of balancing both 5403 03:58:45,100 --> 03:58:48,100 safety and also not negatively 5404 03:58:49,100 --> 03:58:52,100 impacting people that are using 5405 03:58:54,100 --> 03:58:57,100 e-mobility devices safely and in 5406 03:58:57,100 --> 03:58:59,100 responsible ways and I feel confident 5407 03:58:59,100 --> 03:59:01,100 we're doing that now and I want to 5408 03:59:01,100 --> 03:59:04,100 thank my colleagues for their 5409 03:59:04,100 --> 03:59:06,100 collaboration that they have been able 5410 03:59:06,100 --> 03:59:10,201 to do with some of our community 5411 03:59:11,100 --> 03:59:14,100 organizations and, yeah, I'm grateful 5412 03:59:15,100 --> 03:59:17,100 for this and yeah, thank you. 5413 03:59:17,100 --> 03:59:19,100 >> madam president, I did want to the 5414 03:59:19,100 --> 03:59:21,100 flag that the ordinance does already 5415 03:59:21,100 --> 03:59:24,100 as drafted and presented to you make 5416 03:59:24,100 --> 03:59:27,100 it unlawful to remove, destroy, 5417 03:59:27,100 --> 03:59:29,100 mutilate or alter the serial number or 5418 03:59:29,100 --> 03:59:31,100 unique identifier on these devices, so 5419 03:59:31,100 --> 03:59:33,100 we have that in there. 5420 03:59:33,100 --> 03:59:34,100 >> great, perfect. 5421 03:59:34,100 --> 03:59:37,100 >> it's kind of the end of the 5422 03:59:37,100 --> 03:59:40,100 ordinance probably, probably we might 5423 03:59:41,100 --> 03:59:45,100 have -- organizing it is on me, we 5424 03:59:45,100 --> 03:59:47,100 could have put it forward, the label 5425 03:59:47,100 --> 03:59:49,100 piece we can continue to look at. 5426 03:59:49,100 --> 03:59:51,100 >> thank you. 5427 03:59:51,100 --> 03:59:53,100 with that, go ahead, supervisor 5428 03:59:53,100

04:00:10,100 --> 04:00:12,100 there was a way we could put aiden's 5438 04:00:12,100 --> 04:00:16,100 name on this legislation so that we 5439 04:00:16,100 --> 04:00:20,100 don't have another aiden in san mateo 5440 04:00:20,100 --> 04:00:21,100 county or anywhere else, but god bless 5441 04:00:21,100 --> 04:00:24,100 you and your family for all that you 5442 04:00:24,100 --> 04:00:27,601 have

--> 04:00:48,100 possible, I certainly think that would 5453 04:00:48,100 --> 04:00:51,601 be an outstanding way of memorializing 5454 04:00:53,100 --> 04:00:55,100 aiden and the loss of life associated 5455 04:00:55,100 --> 04:00:56,100 with this. 5456 04:00:56,100 --> 04:00:57,100 >> I'm not aware of anything that says 5457 04:00:57,100 --> 04:00:58,100 we can't. 5458 04:00:58,100 --> 04:01:00,100 I think that perhaps if that's a 5459 04:01:00,100 --> 04:01:02,100 direction, we'll go ahead and 5460 04:01:02,100 --> 04:01:04,100 integrate that into the ordinance. 5461 04:01:04,100 --> 04:01:06,100 >> aiden's ordinance. 5462 04:01:06,100 --> 04:01:09,100 >> we'll figure out some way of doing 5463 04:01:09,100 --> 04:01:10,100 that. 5464 04:01:10,100 --> 04:01:12,100 >> with

supervisor speier, supervisor mueller 5474 04:01:37,100 --> 04:01:39,100 and the rest of the board for our 5475 04:01:39,100 --> 04:01:40,100 attention to street safety and this 5476 04:01:40,100 --> 04:01:41,100 important matter. 5477 04:01:41,100 --> 04:01:43,100 I'm thankful we were able to work 5478 04:01:43,100 --> 04:01:46,100 together in getting this initiative to 5479 04:01:46,100 --> 04:01:47,100 this point, it's much better than 5480 04:01:47,100 --> 04:01:48,100 when we first started. 5481 04:01:48,100 --> 04:01:52,100 I also want to thank aiden's family 5482 04:01:52,100 --> 04:01:53,100 for staying involved during a 5483 04:01:53,100 --> 04:01:54,100 difficult time and making sure we make 5484 04:01:54,100 --> 04:01:56,100 sure that this doesn't happen again. 5485 04:01:56,100 --> 04:01:59,100 I do want to try to think about next 5486 04:01:59,100 --> 04:02:01,100 steps however after this great first 5487 04:02:01,100 --> 04:02:02,100 step. 5488 04:02:02,100 --> 04:02:04,100 first of all, the biggest problem as 5489 04:02:04,100 --> 04:02:08,201 we have alluded to is parents are 5490 04:02:10,100 --> 04:02:11,100 being duped by manufacturers into 5491 04:02:11,100 --> 04:02:14,100 buying illegal e-moto's, 80% of the 5492 04:02:17,100 --> 04:02:19,100 bikes on campuses are illegal and are 5493 04:02:19,100 --> 04:02:20,100 dangerous. 5494 04:02:20,100 --> 04:02:21,100 I don't think parents understand that 5495 04:02:21,100 --> 04:02:22,100 and we need to do a better job of 5496 04:02:22,100 --> 04:02:24,100 getting the word out. 5497

04:02:32,100 --> 04:02:36,100 I want to focus on the larger problem 5501 04:02:36,100 --> 04:02:39,100 that is killing many san mateo county 5502 04:02:39,100 --> 04:02:41,100 residents, our streets are designed 5503 04:02:41,100 --> 04:02:44,100 for speed and not for safety, 250 many 5504 04:02:44,100 --> 04:02:47,100 residents have died on our streets, in 5505 04:02:47,100 --> 04:02:50,601 the

balance. 5535 04:04:23,100 --> 04:04:26,100 we need trips shifted from cars to 5536 04:04:26,100 --> 04:04:29,100 e-bikes and be encouraging, not 5537 04:04:30,100 --> 04:04:32,100 discouraging them, e-cyclists do not 5538 04:04:32,100 --> 04:04:34,100 ride on the sidewalk because it's fun, 5539 04:04:34,100 --> 04:04:36,100 they ride on the sidewalk because the 5540 04:04:36,100 --> 04:04:37,100 streets are dangerous. 5541 04:04:37,100 --> 04:04:39,100 this ordinance needs to be improved by 5542 04:04:39,100 --> 04:04:42,100 permitting the safe riding of bikes 5 5543 04:04:42,100 --> 04:04:46,100 miles an hour and legal e-bikes on the 5544 04:04:46,100 --> 04:04:47,100 sidewalk when no bike is 5545 04:04:47,100 --> 04:04:50,100 available on the adjacent roadway. 5546 04:04:50,100

studies. 5552 04:05:07,100 --> 04:05:10,100 class 2 the door zone are more 5553 04:05:10,100 --> 04:05:13,100 dangerous than no bike lane, 12-20% of 5554 04:05:13,100 --> 04:05:15,100 bike crashes occur in them. 5555 04:05:15,100 --> 04:05:18,601 I volunteer and work with teens, 5556 04:05:20,100 --> 04:05:22,100 cycling instructor, robotics coach, I 5557 04:05:22,100 --> 04:05:24,401 find this

than 5564 04:05:41,100 --> 04:05:43,401 e-bikes and illegal e-moto's 5565 04:05:45,100 --> 04:05:48,100 combined, the report shows crash data 5566 04:05:48,100 --> 04:05:51,100 rate changes half the crash -- crash 5567 04:05:51,100 --> 04:05:54,100 rate is half the rate of the increased 5568 04:05:54,100 --> 04:05:57,100 e-bike use, the crash rate is 5569 04:05:57,100 --> 04:05:58,100 decreasing.

I'm grateful, I spoke to the 5588 04:06:42,100 --> 04:06:44,100 board of supervisors a year ago at 5589 04:06:44,100 --> 04:06:46,100 public comment after aiden's tragic 5590 04:06:46,100 -->

--> 04:06:53,100 condolences to his family. 5594 04:06:53,100 --> 04:06:55,100 I wanted to share with colleagues 5595 04:06:55,100 --> 04:06:58,100 across the state, trauma surgeons, we 5596 04:06:58,100 --> 04:07:00,100 polished a paper in acute care 5597 04:07:00,100 --> 04:07:03,100 surgery, we noted there's been an 5598 04:07:03,100 --> 04:07:05,100 exponential rise in e-bike crashes 5599 04:07:05,100 --> 04:07:08,100 over the six years from 2018 to 2024 5600 04:07:08,100 --> 04:07:11,100 with children under 14 at the greatest 5601 04:07:11,100 --> 04:07:14,601 risk and we showed that e-bike 5602 04:07:17,100 --> 04:07:19,100 accidents rose 750 fold from just two 5603 04:07:19,100 --> 04:07:22,100 reported in 2018 to over 1566 in 5604 04:07:24,100 --> 04:07:25,100 2024. 5605

wanted to 5608 04:07:34,100 --> 04:07:36,100 share preliminary research that 5609 04:07:36,100 --> 04:07:38,100 e-bikes are two and a half times more 5610 04:07:38,100 --> 04:07:40,100 likely to be involved in a crash with 5611 04:07:40,100 --> 04:07:42,100 a pedestrian because you can't hear 5612 04:07:42,100 --> 04:07:44,100 them approaching due to the silent 5613 04:07:44,100 --> 04:07:47,100 motors, that's why this proposed san 5614 04:07:47,100 --> 04:07:50,100 mateo ordinance to restrict e-bike 5615 04:07:50,100 --> 04:07:51,100 speeds on sidewalks is so important. 5616 04:07:51,100 -->

with a 5736 04:13:01,100 --> 04:13:04,100 set of planning principles with this 5737 04:13:04,100 --> 04:13:05,100 notion that if the process is 5738 04:13:05,100 --> 04:13:06,100 thoughtful and thorough, then the 5739 04:13:06,100 --> 04:13:08,100 outcomes will be thoughtful and 5740 04:13:08,100 --> 04:13:09,100 thorough. 5741 04:13:09,100 --> 04:13:12,100 so, here you see the principles that 5742 04:13:12,100 --> 04:13:14,100 the sheared prosperity council 5743 04:13:14,100 --> 04:13:16,100 identified including consideration of 5744 04:13:16,100 --> 04:13:17,100 representation,

over to ariana to share the 5751 04:13:32,100 --> 04:13:34,100 framework and recommendations. 5752 04:13:38,100 --> 04:13:40,100 >> thank you, 5753 04:13:45,100 --> 04:13:47,401 shireen, I'm ariana, I'm 5754 04:13:48,100 --> 04:13:50,100 the senior impact and policy officer, 5755 04:13:50,100 --> 04:13:53,100 so as you see here on the slide, this 5756 04:13:53,100 --> 04:13:56,100 is the san mateo county economic 5757 04:13:56,100 --> 04:13:59,100 mobility framework that we worked on 5758 04:13:59,100 --> 04:14:01,100 as the shared prosperity council and 5759 04:14:01,100 --> 04:14:04,100 this came from doing some research and 5760 04:14:04,100 --> 04:14:06,100 identifying a national framework for 5761 04:14:06,100 --> 04:14:08,100 upward mobility that has been 5762 04:14:08,100 --> 04:14:10,100 developed with the input of national 5763 04:14:10,100 --> 04:14:12,100 experts and hosted by gates 5764 04:14:12,100 --> 04:14:14,100 foundation and the urban institute. 5765 04:14:14,100 --> 04:14:16,100 so, this framework you see here 5766 04:14:16,100 --> 04:14:18,401 recognizes that economic mobility 5767 04:14:20,100 --> 04:14:23,100 requires more than just economic 5768 04:14:23,100 --> 04:14:24,100 success but it also must include power 5769 04:14:24,100 --> 04:14:27,100 and autonomy and the sense of being 5770 04:14:27,100 --> 04:14:29,100 valued in dignity. 5771 04:14:29,100 --> 04:14:31,100 this framework identifies five 5772 04:14:31,100 --> 04:14:32,100 different pillars achieving these 5773 04:14:32,100 --> 04:14:35,100 three goals and numerous different 5774 04:14:36,100 --> 04:14:38,100 predictors and indicators to see how 5775 04:14:38,100 --> 04:14:40,100 economic mobility is possible within a 5776 04:14:40,100 --> 04:14:41,100 certain geography. 5777 04:14:41,100 --> 04:14:43,100 this was developed with community 5778 04:14:43,100 --> 04:14:46,100 input and analyzing local data and 5779 04:14:46,100 --> 04:14:49,601 focus groups and so this shared 5780 04:14:50,100 --> 04:14:51,100 prosperity coordinating council 5781 04:14:51,100 --> 04:14:53,100 developed this framework to make sure 5782 04:14:53,100 --> 04:14:55,100 it was reflective and appropriate to 5783 04:14:55,100 --> 04:14:59,100 the reality here in san mateo county 5784 04:14:59,100 --> 04:15:00,100 the. 5785 04:15:00,100 --> 04:15:02,100 so, this slide after looking at the 5786 04:15:02,100 --> 04:15:05,100 data and identifying key challenges, 5787 04:15:07,100 --> 04:15:08,100 shared prosperity coordinating council 5788 04:15:08,100 --> 04:15:09,100 identified a set of ten 5789 04:15:09,100 --> 04:15:12,100 recommendations under each of the 5790 04:15:12,100 --> 04:15:15,601 three universal goals so these include 5791 04:15:16,100 --> 04:15:18,100 really important strategies such as 5792 04:15:18,100 --> 04:15:20,100 career opportunities, housing 5793 04:15:20,100 --> 04:15:22,100 stability, diverse leadership and 5794 04:15:22,100

of the 5821 04:16:28,100 --> 04:16:29,100 county, no the countywide action plan 5822 04:16:29,100 --> 04:16:30,100 that is meant for all justice dicks 5823 04:16:30,100 --> 04:16:33,100 and all agencies and organizations and 5824 04:16:33,100 --> 04:16:35,100 sectors to work towards but really 5825 04:16:35,100 --> 04:16:37,100 what can our institution as a county 5826 04:16:37,100 --> 04:16:40,100 do to move that forward. 5827 04:16:43,100 --> 04:16:47,801 and in here I just wanted to thank 5828 04:16:49,100 --> 04:16:51,100 kalimah from, the chair from the reach 5829 04:16:51,100

04:17:00,100 mateo county deserve to have good 5833 04:17:00,100 --> 04:17:02,100 career opportunities in thriving 5834 04:17:02,100 --> 04:17:03,100 neighborhoods and see a bright future 5835 04:17:03,100 --> 04:17:05,100 for themselves in the next generation. 5836 04:17:05,100 --> 04:17:08,100 we know this isn't easy work, the 5837 04:17:08,100 --> 04:17:10,401 shared prosperity council believes 5838 04:17:11,100 --> 04:17:14,100 working across sector, jurs dick and 5839 04:17:14,100 --> 04:17:15,100 is agencies, we're stronger together 5840 04:17:15,100 --> 04:17:18,100 and can do hard things. 5841 04:17:19,100 --> 04:17:21,100 thank you. 5842 04:17:24,100 --> 04:17:27,100 >> thank you so much, any questions or 5843 04:17:27,100 --> 04:17:28,100 comments from my colleagues, I have 5844 04:17:28,100 --> 04:17:29,100 a few. 5845 04:17:29,100 --> 04:17:33,801 I wanted to share that I've been a 5846 04:17:35,100 --> 04:17:37,100 liaison to the -- to this work, to 5847 04:17:37,100 --> 04:17:39,401 shared prosperity community council 5848 04:17:40,100 --> 04:17:41,100 for several years now. 5849 04:17:41,100 --> 04:17:43,100 I'm not able to attend every single 5850 04:17:43,100 --> 04:17:46,601 meeting but I have really appreciated 5851 04:17:50,100 --> 04:17:52,100 learning and the passionate debates 5852 04:17:52,100 --> 04:17:56,100 because this is a coalition of a broad 5853 04:17:56,100 --> 04:17:58,100 group of our community and they do 5854 04:17:58,100 --> 04:18:00,100 have different perspectives. 5855 04:18:00,100 --> 04:18:02,100 there is not agreement on everything 5856 04:18:02,100 --> 04:18:05,100 but we do ultimately get to a 5857 04:18:05,100 --> 04:18:07,100 place of mutual understanding and I 5858 04:18:07,100 --> 04:18:09,401 feel like that is 5859 04:18:14,100 --> 04:18:16,100 powerful because it's a ball lanes 5860 04:18:16,100 --> 04:18:17,100 between meaningful discussions about 5861 04:18:17,100 --> 04:18:19,100 what opportunity means and not just 5862 04:18:19,100 --> 04:18:21,100 giving someone the space to be 5863 04:18:21,100 --> 04:18:23,100 somewhere but also ensuring that they 5864 04:18:23,100 --> 04:18:27,801 belong and that they can thrive in that 5865 04:18:31,100 --> 04:18:32,100 space because those are not 5866 04:18:32,100 --> 04:18:33,100 necessarily the same thing. 5867 04:18:33,100 --> 04:18:34,100 I think about my personal lived 5868 04:18:34,100 --> 04:18:35,100 experience and how I was given 5869 04:18:35,100 --> 04:18:38,601 opportunities and pushed to rise to 5870 04:18:40,100 --> 04:18:42,100 the occasion and looking back now, I 5871 04:18:42,100 --> 04:18:46,801 see that that was kind of my personal 5872 04:18:47,100 --> 04:18:49,100 path of like shared prosperity that 5873 04:18:49,100 --> 04:18:53,100 kind of led to me being here but it 5874 04:18:53,100 --> 04:18:56,100 was a one-off, so we have these 5875 04:18:56,100 --> 04:18:59,100 powerful institutions and we have some 5876 04:18:59,100 --> 04:19:01,100 powerful programs, I can think of like 5877 04:19:01,100 --> 04:19:03,100 jobs for youth being one of them, 5878 04:19:03,100 --> 04:19:04,100 right. 5879 04:19:04,100 --> 04:19:08,100 but how do we -- how when we more 5880 04:19:08,100 --> 04:19:10,100 focused on that, on making sure that 5881 04:19:10,100 --> 04:19:14,201 every part of our system has these 5882 04:19:15,100 --> 04:19:19,100 really clear pathways and that we give 5883 04:19:19,100 --> 04:19:21,401 people ladders to climb. 5884 04:19:23,100 --> 04:19:25,100 so, I appreciate this work, I'm 5885 04:19:25,100 --> 04:19:27,100 excited to continue the conversation 5886 04:19:27,100 --> 04:19:29,100 and to dig into it more at our future 5887 04:19:29,100 --> 04:19:31,100 study session. 5888 04:19:32,100 --> 04:19:35,100 and yeah, I'll hand it over to 5889 04:19:35,100 --> 04:19:36,100 supervisor gauthier. 5890 04:19:36,100 --> 04:19:38,100 >> I want to again say thank you, and 5891 04:19:38,100 --> 04:19:40,100 ariana, thank you so much, it's so 5892 04:19:40,100 --> 04:19:42,100 good to see you and I want to 5893 04:19:42,100 --> 04:19:43,100 mention the silicon valley community 5894 04:19:43,100 --> 04:19:45,100 foundation and the partnerships you have 5895 04:19:45,100 --> 04:19:47,401 demonstrated and continued to 5896 04:19:48,100 --> 04:19:49,100 demonstrate within our region, this 5897 04:19:49,100 --> 04:19:51,100 reminds me of ek wit I the forward 5898 04:19:51,100 --> 04:19:53,100 where you're thinking about how do we 5899 04:19:53,100 --> 04:19:55,100 lift everyone at the same time, so I 5900 04:19:55,100 --> 04:19:58,100 am so excited for the work that is 5901 04:19:58,100 --> 04:20:01,100 happening, thank you, shireen, for 5902 04:20:01,100 --> 04:20:03,100 leading this effort, we've been on 5903 04:20:03,100 --> 04:20:05,100 some calls prior to this even 5904 04:20:05,100 --> 04:20:08,100 happening, but when we think about 5905 04:20:08,100 --> 04:20:10,100 economic mobility, it starts with 5906 04:20:10,100 --> 04:20:13,100 opportunity and the efforts to build 5907 04:20:13,100 --> 04:20:15,100 -- efforts builds off an idea and it 5908 04:20:15,100 --> 04:20:17,100 turns into action so, we know the if 5909 04:20:17,100 --> 04:20:19,100 we want to make a difference, we have 5910 04:20:19,100 --> 04:20:21,100 to be intentional and the work you're 5911 04:20:21,100 --> 04:20:23,100 bringing forward is intentional in 5912 04:20:23,100 --> 04:20:24,100 thinking about those communities that 5913 04:20:24,100 --> 04:20:26,100 are left out of the conversations or 5914 04:20:26,100 --> 04:20:28,100 not at the table, so making room at 5915 04:20:28,100 --> 04:20:30,100 the table so that everyone can thrive, 5916 04:20:30,100 --> 04:20:34,100 I look forward to the work that will 5917 04:20:34,100 --> 04:20:35,100 continue and I'm excited to be sitting 5918 04:20:35,100 --> 04:20:39,100 at the table you as you develop this 5919 04:20:39,100 --> 04:20:41,100 plan. 5920 04:20:41,100 --> 04:20:43,100 >> any other questions or comments, 5921 04:20:43,100 --> 04:20:44,100 supervisor speier? 5922 04:20:44,100 --> 04:20:47,100 >> you know, I rejoined the board, the 5923 04:20:47,100 --> 04:20:50,100 first board meeting, I talked about 5924 04:20:50,100 --> 04:20:54,801 hoping we can create a county core by 5925 04:20:55,100 --> 04:20:58,100 identifying young people in high 5926 04:20:59,100 --> 04:21:02,100 school or college, getting them 5927 04:21:02,100 --> 04:21:04,100 positions in county government that 5928 04:21:04,100 --> 04:21:08,100 would give them a pathway to a viable 5929 04:21:08,100 --> 04:21:10,100 job and I don't know if that's part of 5930 04:21:10,100 --> 04:21:12,100 what you're looking at but I think 5931 04:21:12,100 --> 04:21:14,100 that's one of the ways of dealing with 5932 04:21:14,100 --> 04:21:17,100 the fact that this is such a high cost 5933 04:21:17,100 --> 04:21:18,100 county. 5934 04:21:18,100 --> 04:21:21,100 the jobs are not available for young 5935 04:21:21,100 --> 04:21:24,100 graduates from college and they're 5936 04:21:25,100 --> 04:21:27,100 living at home and this is an 5937 04:21:27,100 --> 04:21:30,601 opportunity for us to take advantage 5938 04:21:32,100 --> 04:21:34,100 of a really terrible situation and 5939 04:21:34,100 --> 04:21:36,100 help guide them to public service 5940 04:21:36,100 --> 04:21:37,100 through the county. 5941 04:21:37,100 --> 04:21:40,601 I was talking to our probation 5942 04:21:43,100 --> 04:21:44,100 officer, john keen, yesterday. 5943 04:21:44,100 --> 04:21:48,801 he was saying it was hard to keep 5944 04:21:50,100 --> 04:21:52,100 people, they're getting pregnant and 5945 04:21:52,100 --> 04:21:55,601 going on to doing other things. 5946 04:21:56,100 --> 04:21:59,100 so, I mean, there's lots of areas 5947 04:21:59,100 --> 04:22:01,100 where I think we could start to 5948 04:22:01,100 --> 04:22:03,100 identify where there would be great 5949 04:22:03,100 --> 04:22:06,100 job opportunities for these young 5950 04:22:07,100 --> 04:22:08,100 people. 5951 04:22:08,100 --> 04:22:09,100 >>.I could just respond really quickly. 5952 04:22:09,100 --> 04:22:13,100 one of the key areas of focus for us 5953 04:22:13,100 --> 04:22:15,100 is career pathways into county 5954 04:22:15,100 --> 04:22:16,100 positions in particular. 5955 04:22:16,100 --> 04:22:19,100 we've been working closely with the 5956 04:22:19,100 --> 04:22:20,100 human resources department in looking 5957 04:22:20,100 --> 04:22:23,601 at two specific pathways in, one 5958 04:22:24,100 --> 04:22:25,100 around stationery engineers with the 5959 04:22:25,100 --> 04:22:28,100 department of public works and 5960 04:22:28,100 --> 04:22:30,401 another focused on community 5961 04:22:31,100 --> 04:22:33,100 assistance across a lot of our health 5962 04:22:33,100 --> 04:22:34,100 and social services where we have 5963 04:22:34,100 --> 04:22:35,100 front line workers. 5964 04:22:35,100 --> 04:22:38,100 it's not the same as what you're 5965 04:22:38,100 --> 04:22:40,100 talking about around having our young 5966 04:22:40,100 --> 04:22:43,100 people really positioned to take over 5967 04:22:43,100 --> 04:22:45,100 the next generation of public servants 5968 04:22:45,100 --> 04:22:49,801 but it is a step in that direction. 5969 04:22:50,100 --> 04:22:52,100 >> okay. 5970 04:22:54,100 --> 04:22:55,100 any other -- no? 5971 04:22:55,100 --> 04:22:58,100 I believe we have to take public 5972 04:22:58,100 --> 04:23:00,100 comment -- no, we already took public 5973 04:23:00,100 --> 04:23:01,100 comment. 5974 04:23:01,100 --> 04:23:02,100 okay. 5975 04:23:02,100 -->

Medina, for joining us, 6339 04:37:14,100 --> 04:37:15,100 so with that, colleagues, I know we 6340 04:37:15,100 --> 04:37:17,100 have to take public comment, but I 6341 04:37:17,100 --> 04:37:20,601 would like to move this item. 6342 04:37:24,100 --> 04:37:25,100 >> so, thank you for the motion. 6343 04:37:25,100 --> 04:37:27,100 I believe we took public comment 6344 04:37:27,100 --> 04:37:28,100 already, so we don't -- 6345 04:37:28,100 --> 04:37:30,100 >> did you want to show the video? 6346 04:37:30,100 --> 04:37:32,100 >> I think we're okay with the video, 6347 04:37:32,100 --> 04:37:33,100 I'll move the item. 6348 04:37:33,100 --> 04:37:34,100 >> just checking. 6349 04:37:34,100 --> 04:37:36,100 >> I believe supervisor speier wanted 6350 04:37:36,100 --> 04:37:37,100 to make a comment. 6351 04:37:37,100 --> 04:37:41,801 >> I don't know if mike is still with 6352 04:37:42,100 --> 04:37:43,100 us -- 6353 04:37:43,100 --> 04:37:44,100 >> I am, thank you, supervisor. 6354 04:37:44,100 --> 04:37:48,100 >> I'm curious of the 14 cities in san 6355 04:37:48,100 --> 04:37:51,100 mateo county that are age-friendly, 6356 04:37:54,100 --> 04:37:58,201 age family certified, how many of them 6357 04:37:59,100 --> 04:38:01,100 participated financially in those 6358 04:38:01,100 --> 04:38:02,100 communities? 6359 04:38:02,100 --> 04:38:05,601 >> as part of the planning process, 6360 04:38:06,100 --> 04:38:09,601 all of those processes have been 6361 04:38:10,100 --> 04:38:12,100 supported through san mateo county. 6362 04:38:12,100 --> 04:38:16,100 >> so, san mateo county paid for all 6363 04:38:16,100 --> 04:38:19,100 these 14 city age certified processes, 6364 04:38:19,100 --> 04:38:21,100 is that what you're saying? 6365 04:38:21,100 --> 04:38:23,100 >> that's my understanding. 6366 04:38:24,100 --> 04:38:27,100 and, mike, if I can add a little 6367 04:38:27,100 --> 04:38:30,100 flavor to that, that is correct but 6368 04:38:30,100 --> 04:38:31,100 there is something I think that is 6369 04:38:31,100 --> 04:38:32,100 worth motioning. 6370 04:38:32,100 --> 04:38:36,100 we do work in concert with the staff 6371 04:38:36,100 --> 04:38:39,100 so there are staff that are given to 6372 04:38:39,100 --> 04:38:41,100 the cities or to the county's work 6373 04:38:41,100 --> 04:38:44,601 in collaboration with mike and his 6374 04:38:45,100 --> 04:38:46,100 team. 6375 04:38:46,100 --> 04:38:48,100 from a city perspective, there is a 6376 04:38:48,100 --> 04:38:50,100 lot of resorts in terms of staffing 6377 04:38:50,100 --> 04:38:53,100 because this requires coordination and 6378 04:38:53,100 --> 04:38:56,601 it requires input and really output 6379 04:38:58,100 --> 04:39:02,801 from the staffs of each of the cities 6380 04:39:05,100 --> 04:39:06,100 to really make this happen. 6381 04:39:06,100 --> 04:39:07,100 if we don't have the participation of 6382 04:39:07,100 --> 04:39:08,100 the recreation department or those in 6383 04:39:08,100 --> 04:39:10,100 the senior centers, really, we can't 6384 04:39:10,100 --> 04:39:13,100 make this happen, so it's a hybrid I 6385 04:39:13,100 --> 04:39:17,100 guess you could say, it's a hybrid of 6386 04:39:17,100 --> 04:39:20,100 the county giving resources but it's 6387 04:39:20,100 --> 04:39:23,100 the hybrid of people power and staff 6388 04:39:23,100 --> 04:39:25,100 being put forth by the cities to 6389 04:39:25,100 --> 04:39:27,100 execute on its implementation. 6390 04:39:27,100 --> 04:39:29,100 >> that's right, yeah, thank you, 6391 04:39:29,100 --> 04:39:30,100 supervisor canepa. 6392 04:39:30,100 --> 04:39:31,100 well said. 6393 04:39:31,100 --> 04:39:35,100 the cities give a lot in ems of person 6394 04:39:35,100 --> 04:39:37,100 power and we have to work very closely 6395 04:39:37,100 --> 04:39:39,100 with them and typically there's a few 6396 04:39:39,100 --> 04:39:42,100 folks who are designated, whether 6397 04:39:42,100 --> 04:39:43,100 that's as supervisor canepa said, from 6398 04:39:43,100 --> 04:39:45,100 the parses and rec department or from 6399 04:39:45,100 --> 04:39:47,100 human services or senior services 6400 04:39:47,100 --> 04:39:49,100 department, sometimes even from city 6401 04:39:49,100 --> 04:39:52,100 manager's office, we work with them on 6402 04:39:52,100 --> 04:39:55,601 a regular basis around goal set, 6403 04:39:56,100 --> 04:39:58,100 around decision points and then 6404 04:39:58,100 --> 04:40:00,100 ultimately we do interviews and bring 6405 04:40:00,100 --> 04:40:02,100 together folks from lots of different 6406 04:40:02,100 --> 04:40:03,100 departments because again this 6407 04:40:03,100 --> 04:40:05,100 requires a lot of collaboration around 6408 04:40:05,100 --> 04:40:07,100 issues ranging from housing to social 6409 04:40:07,100 --> 04:40:09,401 participation to transportation, so, 6410 04:40:11,100 --> 04:40:14,100 yeah, there's a lot of input and 6411 04:40:14,100 --> 04:40:17,100 contributions from folks across the 6412 04:40:19,100 --> 04:40:20,100 city. 6413 04:40:20,100 --> 04:40:22,100 >> so, I don't want to belabor this 6414 04:40:22,100 --> 04:40:24,100 because I know we're all tired. 6415 04:40:24,100 --> 04:40:26,100 it looks like we've committed a 6416 04:40:26,100 --> 04:40:28,100 million dollars to this effort. 6417 04:40:28,100 --> 04:40:31,100 this is another 145 thousand but we 6418 04:40:31,100 --> 04:40:34,601 only have 14 of it, 20 cities that 6419 04:40:35,100 --> 04:40:37,100 have been age family certified and 6420 04:40:37,100 --> 04:40:41,201 only 8 of the 20 cities that have age 6421 04:40:42,100 --> 04:40:45,100 friendly action plans, so I would like 6422 04:40:45,100 --> 04:40:47,100 to see a countywide but I would also 6423 04:40:47,100 --> 04:40:51,100 like to know that the value is there 6424 04:40:51,100 --> 04:40:55,801 and I'm not -- we've invested a lot 6425 04:40:59,100 --> 04:41:00,100 already. 6426 04:41:00,100 --> 04:41:01,100 >> clearly the value is there. 6427 04:41:01,100 --> 04:41:03,100 there's communication, there's 6428 04:41:03,100 --> 04:41:05,100 collaboration, there's ideas that have 6429 04:41:05,100 --> 04:41:08,100 been advanced from a policy 6430 04:41:09,100 --> 04:41:12,601 perspective and our best customers are 6431 04:41:13,100 --> 04:41:15,100 our residents but I think it's the 6432 04:41:15,100 --> 04:41:17,100 cities, I think the cities recognize 6433 04:41:17,100 --> 04:41:18,100 the inherent value of this. 6434 04:41:18,100 --> 04:41:20,100 as you know we're going to be talking 6435 04:41:20,100 --> 04:41:22,100 about vlf on thursday. 6436 04:41:22,100 --> 04:41:25,100 a lot of cities, they don't have the 6437 04:41:25,100 --> 04:41:27,100 resources and they're challenged, so I 6438 04:41:27,100 --> 04:41:30,100 think our role and I think it's been 6439 04:41:30,100 --> 04:41:32,100 the board's role over the past ten 6440 04:41:32,100 --> 04:41:35,100 years is to support cities in 6441 04:41:35,100 --> 04:41:38,100 providing the opportunity to help 6442 04:41:38,100 --> 04:41:39,100 them. 6443 04:41:39,100 --> 04:41:41,100 several examples of that would be what 6444 04:41:41,100 --> 04:41:44,100 we've done around big lift, right. 6445 04:41:44,100 --> 04:41:47,601 so, the county continues to make 6446 04:41:48,100 --> 04:41:50,100 investments, in fact, the county and 6447 04:41:50,100 --> 04:41:51,100 this board and I'm proud of this when 6448 04:41:51,100 --> 04:41:55,100 it came to child care and we're 6449 04:41:55,100 --> 04:41:58,100 looking at expanding that, I think the 6450 04:41:58,100 --> 04:42:01,100 board allocated north of 11 million 6451 04:42:03,100 --> 04:42:04,100 dollars. 6452 04:42:04,100 --> 04:42:05,100 what study after study has concluded 6453 04:42:05,100 --> 04:42:09,100 and has found out, we see this around 6454 04:42:09,100 --> 04:42:12,100 housing is that our seniors are being 6455 04:42:12,100 --> 04:42:14,100 left behind, so what this does is it 6456 04:42:14,100 --> 04:42:16,100 creates the infrastructure, 6457 04:42:16,100 --> 04:42:19,100 it creates the framework of 6458 04:42:20,100 --> 04:42:22,100 policies, and I think government works 6459 04:42:22,100 --> 04:42:26,100 best when it's not top down but really 6460 04:42:26,100 --> 04:42:31,100 bottom up and we need to make sure we 6461 04:42:31,100 --> 04:42:33,100 advance this item, hopefully it does 6462 04:42:33,100 --> 04:42:35,100 get advanced, to make sure we help the 6463 04:42:35,100 --> 04:42:37,100 people that need us the most and right 6464 04:42:37,100 --> 04:42:41,100 now it's seniors and so one city, 6465 04:42:41,100 --> 04:42:44,100 maybe trying to identify the issues 6466 04:42:44,100 --> 04:42:46,100 around housing, one city maybe 6467 04:42:46,100 --> 04:42:48,100 identifying the issue of 6468 04:42:48,100 --> 04:42:49,100 transportation and remember the deep 6469 04:42:49,100 --> 04:42:51,100 collaboration that takes place is 6470 04:42:51,100 --> 04:42:53,100 annually, so annually there's an event 6471 04:42:53,100 --> 04:42:55,100 that takes place, we bring all the 6472 04:42:55,100 --> 04:42:56,100 cities together and what each city 6473 04:42:56,100 --> 04:42:59,601 does is they share their best 6474 04:43:00,100 --> 04:43:02,100 practices and what they've learned and 6475 04:43:02,100 --> 04:43:07,401 I think to me, we may be getting a 6476 04:43:08,100 --> 04:43:11,100 bargain in this, 1.4 million dollars, 6477 04:43:11,100 --> 04:43:13,100 that's -- the taxpayer's getting a 6478 04:43:13,100 --> 04:43:16,100 pretty good discount on a lot of 6479 04:43:16,100 --> 04:43:19,100 collaboration, a lot of effort, so, I 6480 04:43:19,100 --> 04:43:20,100 appreciate the comments. 6481 04:43:20,100 --> 04:43:22,100 I know where they're coming from and 6482 04:43:22,100 --> 04:43:24,100 they're coming from a good place and I 6483 04:43:24,100 --> 04:43:27,100 know you're aligned with me in terms 6484 04:43:27,100 --> 04:43:29,100 of solving the senior issue but from 6485 04:43:29,100 --> 04:43:31,100 the bottom of my heart, this is a 6486 04:43:31,100 --> 04:43:33,100 program I really believe in because I 6487 04:43:33,100 --> 04:43:36,100 have seen the good impact it's had on 6488 04:43:36,100 --> 04:43:38,100 our seniors. 6489 04:43:43,100 --> 04:43:45,100 >> any other comments? 6490 04:43:48,100 --> 04:43:49,100 okay. 6491 04:43:49,100 --> 04:43:51,100 is there a motion? 6492 04:43:51,100 --> 04:43:53,100
